Common Questions
FAQ
Does sponsorship affect editorial rankings?
No. Tools are added and ranked editorially — sponsorship only adds a "Featured" badge and placement boost within the existing results. We never add tools that don't belong, and we never remove competitors from a sponsored category.
Is it disclosed to users?
Always. Every sponsored placement carries a visible "Sponsored" or "Featured" label. Our affiliate disclosure in the footer covers all commercial relationships.
What is the minimum commitment?
Category sponsorships are month-to-month — no minimum contract. Newsletter spots are per-issue. Homepage sponsorship is month-to-month.
What metrics do I get?
Monthly report with: estimated impressions, click-throughs from the map, newsletter open rate and clicks for your slot. We use Microsoft Clarity and GA4 for measurement.
My tool is already on the map — does that matter?
Yes — and it works in your favour. If your tool is already listed and performing well editorially, sponsorship amplifies an existing result rather than creating one from scratch. This is the most credible placement.
What if my tool isn't on the map yet?
We'll review it. If it meets our editorial criteria (active, real users, honest pricing), we'll add it first — then the sponsorship goes on top. We don't add tools just for sponsorship.
