How we work
Rankings aren't for sale
Position comes from the published formula. Sponsored placements exist, and are always labelled as such.
Renewal price, every time
The intro price never appears without the price you'll actually pay when it renews.
Transparent methodology
Scores render from the live formula configuration, versioned, with every change logged.
Dated prices
Every price shows when it was last checked and whether a crawler or a person verified it.
Ownership disclosed
Products owned by our parent company are marked on every listing and scored by the same formula as everyone else. Full disclosure.
No invasive tracking
No third-party trackers, no ad-tech cookies. Affiliate links are labelled and use rel="sponsored".
