About our editorial process
We test every platform we review by creating real accounts, browsing the full feature set, and using the directory the way a typical viewer would. We don't republish vendor copy or recycle other blogs — every post is firsthand assessment based on actual time spent on the platform.
When we link to a platform, the link includes our affiliate identifier — we earn a referral commission if you create an account through that link. That funding model is disclosed transparently on our About page. We never write favorable reviews to chase referral payouts; we'd rather lose the commission than recommend a platform we don't actually use ourselves.
