Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency about how this site earns money, and why it never affects our ratings.
Last updated: September 1, 2026
The short version
Site Trust is reader-supported. When you click a link to a platform on this site and sign up or make a purchase, we may earn an affiliate commission, at no additional cost to you. This revenue funds our research, testing and hosting, and keeps the site free to use.
How affiliate links work
Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. That means a unique identifier is appended to the URL so the platform knows you arrived from our site. If you then sign up, the platform pays us a commission. The price you pay is the same whether or not you use our link.
Why our ratings stay independent
Affiliate commissions never influence our reviews, scores or rankings. Every platform is reviewed and rated against the same published methodology before we consider any commercial relationship. A platform cannot pay to be featured, to improve its score, or to have negative findings removed.
We review platforms we recommend and platforms we don't, and we publish the negatives openly, even when a platform pays us a commission. If a platform is unsuitable, we say so.
How we label affiliate links
Outbound links to platforms use the rel="sponsored nofollow" attribute, which tells search engines the link is commercial in nature. This is a best practice for transparency and compliance with search engine guidelines.
No financial advice
Whether or not we earn a commission, our content is informational only and does not constitute financial advice. See our Disclaimer page for full details.
