TrustRated is committed to full transparency with our visitors. This page explains how we earn revenue and keep scores independent from commercial partnerships.
Affiliate Compensation
TrustRated participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click a link on our Site and complete a purchase, we may receive a referral commission at no additional cost to you. This compensation helps fund product testing, scoring, and editorial operations.
How It Works
Affiliate links on our Site contain tracking codes. When you click and buy within the cookie window, the retailer attributes the sale to us and pays a commission. This is standard practice across the affiliate marketing industry.
Editorial Integrity
- Product scores are based on testing, reliability, and value — not commission rates.
- We do not sell placements in our rankings.
- All affiliate content is clearly disclosed on relevant pages.
- Sponsored content is always labeled as such and kept separate from scored lists.
FTC Compliance
We comply with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255). Our affiliate relationships are disclosed clearly and conspicuously throughout the Site.
Price Accuracy
Prices shown are accurate at time of publication but may change. Always confirm the current price on the retailer's website before purchasing.
