Affiliate Disclosure
Some links on this site are affiliate links. Here is exactly how that works and how we keep it separate from our reviews.
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you open an account through one of them, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. This never affects our rankings, ratings or analysis.
How affiliate links work
When you click certain links to a platform and then sign up, that platform’s affiliate programme records that the referral came from us and may pay us a commission. You pay exactly the same as you would by going to the platform directly, and your account, fees and experience are unaffected.
Why we use them
Affiliate commissions are how we fund a detailed, free, ad-light resource. They let us spend time researching platforms, writing guides and building tools without charging readers or cluttering the site with advertising.
Our commitment
Commercial relationships are kept entirely separate from our editorial judgement. We rank and rate platforms on their merits, as set out in our editorial and ratings methodology — not on what they pay. We also cover platforms we do not have an affiliate relationship with where they are relevant to readers.
How to identify affiliate links
The “Visit” buttons on our review, comparison and roundup pages are typically affiliate links, marked up for search engines as sponsored. Ordinary links to platforms’ information pages, and links between our own pages, are not affiliate links.
Regulatory note
We make this disclosure in the spirit of consumer-protection guidance such as the US FTC’s endorsement rules and the UK ASA/CMA guidance on clearly identifying commercial content. If anything here is unclear, please ask us.
