Affiliate disclosure

In plain terms: comparison.co makes money through affiliate links. This page spells out what that means, as required by the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on material connections (16 CFR Part 255).

We have material connections to companies we cover

comparison.co participates in affiliate programs with many of the companies whose products appear on this site. When you click certain links here and then make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the seller or its affiliate network. This costs you nothing extra. The price you pay is the same whether you arrive through our link or go to the seller directly.

Which links are affiliate links

Any link on this site that points to a product or offer, including every link that routes through a /go/ path, should be assumed to be an affiliate link. The /go/ links exist specifically to route you through our affiliate tracking before landing on the seller's page.

Commissions fund the research

Affiliate revenue is how this site pays for itself. It covers the research time behind every article: reading through thousands of verified buyer reviews, pulling BBB records, and comparing specs. Without it, the site wouldn't exist.

Commissions don't buy rankings

Our editorial conclusions come first and the money comes second. Rankings and verdicts are set by the research, not by payout rates, and no company can pay to be recommended, moved up a list, or spared honest cons. We also decline to cover products we can't honestly recommend, no matter what the commission would've been. Our full methodology is on the How We Review page.

Per-article disclosure

Beyond this page, every article that contains affiliate links carries a disclosure notice near the top, before any recommendation, so you know about the relationship before you read our take.
