What a listing gets you

Three levels. Only one of them costs money for anything other than our time.

Free listing

No charge

The baseline. Every product we profile gets this whether the vendor asks or not.

No charge

Included

  • A profile with pricing, strengths and weaknesses; eligibility for every comparison in your category; a normal outbound link to your site.
  • A factual correction within five working days of a report.
  • Your own words in the submission, read by a human.

Not included

  • A publication guarantee. We list what we can verify and what our readers ask for.
  • Any influence on your score or your position in a ranking.

  • A dated "Verified" marker on your profile, re-checked every quarter.
  • A named contact at the desk for factual corrections.
  • Your pricing table checked against your public pricing page, with the access date shown.

The editorial firewall

Money never buys a ranking, a score or a kind word. Our scores are set by the desk against published criteria, before any commercial conversation. Sponsored placements are labelled on every surface they appear on, they sit outside the ranked list, and every paid link is nofollow. If we think your product is the wrong choice for a use case, we will write that, and paying us will not change it. You can buy visibility here. You cannot buy a verdict.

  • Paid placement. It did not buy the ranking or the score.
  • Sponsored
  • nofollow
