Affiliate and advertising disclosure

We are building commercial programs that will fund the site. These include paid listing packages for vendors, clearly labeled sponsored placements, and possibly referral or affiliate partnerships with some of the companies we cover. The details of these programs, including pricing, are still being finalized. We will update this page as they launch.

Once referral partnerships are live, some links on BetterBuys may be compensated. That means if you click a link to a vendor and request a demo, sign up, or make a purchase, BetterBuys may earn a fee. This costs you nothing and does not change the price you pay.

Vendors can also pay to claim and enhance their listings. Paying for a listing package buys presentation features and the ability to keep a profile current. It does not buy a ranking position, a better score, or a more favorable write-up.

Products on BetterBuys are ordered by a published scoring formula that weighs category fit, use-case fit, buyer and industry fit, integration fit, evidence quality, pricing transparency, and freshness. Whether a vendor pays us is not an input to that formula and never will be.

Sponsored placements appear in clearly marked slots. They never push a product up the organic list, and declining to pay never pushes a product down. You can read the full formula and its weights at How we rank.

Every sponsored placement on BetterBuys carries a visible badge, directly on the listing, that looks like this:

The rule is simple: badge means paid, no badge means organic. We do not mix the two, and we do not hide the badge in fine print or footnotes.

Our editorial content is produced with AI assistance and reviewed by human editors. It is researched and written independently of any commercial relationship. Vendors do not review, approve, or edit our assessments before publication, and paying us does not change what we say about a product.

Every product page shows a last-verified date so you know how current the information is. If a vendor believes something we published is inaccurate, they can claim their listing and request a correction. We fix factual errors regardless of whether a vendor pays us.
