Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: December 18, 2025
In Short
BestChoice earns money when you click on some of the links on our site and make a purchase. This helps us keep our content free, but it doesn't influence our honest reviews and recommendations.
How We Make Money
BestChoice is a free resource for consumers. To keep our site running and continue providing independent reviews and comparisons, we participate in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may receive a commission when you click on certain links on our website and subsequently make a purchase or sign up for a service.
These affiliate partnerships are with companies whose products and services we review on our site. When you use our links, the company knows you were referred by BestChoice and pays us a small commission at no additional cost to you.
What This Means for You
No extra cost: You will never pay more for a product or service by using our links. In many cases, our affiliate partners offer exclusive deals and discounts to our readers that aren't available elsewhere.
Supporting our work: When you use our affiliate links, you're helping support BestChoice at no cost to yourself. This allows us to continue researching, testing, and reviewing products to help you make informed decisions.
Our Editorial Standards
We take our editorial integrity seriously. Here's how we maintain objectivity despite our affiliate relationships:
- Independent research: Our reviews are based on extensive research, hands-on testing, and analysis of customer feedback—not on commission rates.
- Honest assessments: We highlight both the pros and cons of every product we review. If a product has significant drawbacks, we'll tell you, even if we earn a commission from it.
- Non-affiliate recommendations: We sometimes recommend products and services from which we earn no commission because they're the best option for our readers.
- Transparent rankings: Our rankings are determined by our evaluation criteria, not by which company pays us the most. A higher commission does not equal a higher ranking.
How Affiliate Partnerships May Affect Content
In the interest of full transparency, here are ways our affiliate relationships may influence our content:
- Product selection: We may be more likely to review products and services that have affiliate programs, as this helps fund our operations. However, we also review non-affiliate products when they're relevant to our readers.
- Link placement: Products with affiliate relationships may have more prominent "Visit Site" or "Get Started" buttons. However, this doesn't affect their position in our rankings.
- Coverage depth: We may provide more detailed coverage of products from affiliate partners, as we often have better access to information and support from these companies.
Types of Compensation
We may receive compensation in the following ways:
- Affiliate commissions: A percentage or fixed amount when you make a purchase through our links.
- Lead generation fees: A fee when you submit your information through a form or sign up for a free trial.
- Sponsored content: Payment for creating content about a specific product or service. Sponsored content is always clearly labeled.
- Display advertising: Revenue from advertisements displayed on our site.
Affiliate Programs We Participate In
We work with a variety of affiliate networks and direct partnerships, including but not limited to:
- Amazon Associates Program
- ShareASale
- Commission Junction (CJ Affiliate)
- Impact
- Rakuten Advertising
- Direct partnerships with individual brands
Each of these programs has its own terms and conditions, but our commitment to honest, unbiased reviews remains consistent across all partnerships.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, we disclose our affiliate relationships throughout our site. You'll find disclosure notices:
- At the top of every page on our site
- Within review articles that contain affiliate links
- On this dedicated disclosure page
We are committed to complying with FTC regulations and being transparent with our readers about how we earn money.
