Affiliate Disclosure & Commercial Relationships
We believe in complete transparency regarding how BeastCompare earns revenue to fund our independent testing lab, retail software purchases, and editorial staff.
How BeastCompare Is Funded
BeastCompare is an independently owned comparison publication. To maintain our testing server infrastructure, purchase retail software licenses, and pay our editorial researchers, we participate in affiliate marketing programs.
When you click on certain links on our website that lead to external service providers (such as Hostinger, NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Wise, or Railway) and subsequently make a purchase, BeastCompare may receive an affiliate referral commission.
What This Means for You
- Zero extra cost: Clicking an affiliate link on BeastCompare never increases the price you pay. In many cases, our links provide discounted introductory pricing negotiated for our readership.
- Independent ratings: Affiliate relationships do not determine our rankings. Products cannot pay to boost their numerical score or erase documented drawbacks.
- Clear labeling: Outbound commercial links are tagged with appropriate

FTC Compliance
In accordance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, we display disclosure notices near comparison tables, recommendation blocks, and review pages across our entire website.
