How This Site Makes Money

This site is a free online resource that strives to offer helpful content and comparison features to its visitors. Please be advised that the operator of this site accepts advertising compensation from companies that appear on the site. This may influence which products we review and write about (and where those products appear on the site), but it in no way affects our recommendations or advice, which are grounded in thousands of hours of research.

Our site doesn’t feature every company or financial product available on the market, but we’re proud that the guidance we offer, the information we provide and the tools we create are objective, independent, straightforward — and free. The reviews on this site are free, and you’re free to do what you want with them.

Our intent is to provide unbiased reviews, there are many great companies around and many bad ones as well. Our reviews are always in flux, and 5 out of 5 today might become a 4 out of 5 tomorrow.  We do not get paid for writing positive reviews and we work in complete adherence to the FTC Guides Governing Endorsements, Testimonials on review websites that receive incentives to write positive reviews. Taking cash from the vendors would obviously jeopardize the integrity of our site. When you use the reviews to make a choice on which provider to go with, we give you the opportunity to visit that vendor’s website through a referral link. If you sign up with them, then we get a commission.

Thank You!
