Affiliate Disclosure & How We Earn Revenue

Last updated: September 2026

We believe in straightforward transparency regarding how BeastCompare earns money to support our site, cover hosting costs, and purchase the devices and software tools we test.

How BeastCompare Is Funded

BeastCompare is an independent consumer technology review and comparison website. To fund our site operations, web hosting, and software subscriptions, we participate in affiliate marketing programs.

When you click on certain outbound links on our site and subsequently make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may receive an affiliate referral commission. This commission comes at zero additional cost to you—it is paid directly by the merchant or software provider.

Our affiliate partners include services such as NordVPN, Hostinger, ExpressVPN, and various consumer technology retailers. In addition, BeastCompare participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

Our Editorial Principles

1. Zero Cost to You

Clicking an affiliate link never increases the price you pay. Our links direct you to current promotions and publicly available deals, which may change over time depending on the provider's campaign calendar.

2. Independent Editorial Judgments

Partners cannot review, edit, or approve our content prior to publication. Commercial partnerships do not dictate which tools or hardware we recommend, and providers cannot pay to inflate their scores or remove documented drawbacks.

3. Standardized Search Engine Attribution

Commercial affiliate links are marked as sponsored for search engines and opened securely so that referral tracking remains fully compliant with search guidelines.

Where You'll See Disclosures

To ensure compliance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guides on endorsements, the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), and European Union consumer protection directives, we place prominent disclosure notices wherever commercial links appear:

  • Directly alongside primary call-to-action buttons in buyer guides and product comparisons.
  • At the top of editorial reviews and product roundups.
  • Near summary and feature comparison tables where outbound provider links are included.

Questions or Corrections?
