Editorial Policy

What do we use as evidence?

We read providers' own pricing, terms and documentation, plus official records, product listings and dated user reports. We keep what a provider says, what an official record shows, what a user reports and what we've calculated apart. User reports can suggest questions to ask. They aren't measured merchant failure rates or proof of an allegation.

We tie each finding to the company, product, country, asset and network, account conditions and effective date it covers, so you can tell whether a source describes an offer you could use. A familiar brand name won't tell you that.

How do we review an article?

We currently work one page at a time. Before accepting a draft, we check claims that could affect your decision against their sources and review whether the explanation is clear and useful. That's our standard now, but older pages can still need corrections or a fresh check.

Have we tried the services?

We haven't opened merchant accounts or made payments. We haven't installed integrations, tested refunds or settlement, measured uptime or timed support replies. Our work is reading documents and doing the sums, so before you rely on a service, confirm approval, checkout, refunds and how money reaches your business.

What do scores and fee examples tell you?

Scores compare providers on the inputs we've gathered, using priorities we chose. They help you decide what to look into. They don't prove you'd be approved, that a provider fits you in every way, or that its service performs well. Current scores are preliminary because some inputs still need public verification.

Fee illustrations cover only the inputs listed with them. An extra charge we couldn't find isn't zero, and your real bill can depend on your account and offer. Our methodology explains how the model works and what it leaves out.

What do check dates and missing information mean?

A successful source-check date tells you when we read the source. It doesn't guarantee that the information is unchanged today or that all historical content is current. Older evidence keeps its date and limits. A document's update date and the date its terms take effect can differ.

Missing, conflicting or blocked evidence stays open. A failed read doesn't mean the fee is zero or that permission is missing. We don't have a fixed monitoring schedule or promise to catch every change, so recheck the terms that matter before you commit.

How can you request a correction?

You can raise an editorial question or request a correction through our Contact page. Include the article URL, the passage, the original public source and the relevant product, company and effective date, if known.

Changed prices, terms, restrictions, permissions or capabilities, and conflicting sources, can change a finding or score. A clear source helps us see what needs another look. We don't promise a fixed reply time or a particular outcome.
