How TestedTools makes money, and why it never changes a score

TestedTools is free to read. It's run by Raj Devsi (trading as TestedTools). Here's every way we earn money:

1. Ads: affiliate links. Some links are marked "Ad · affiliate link". If you buy through one, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We don't have any active affiliate programmes yet. When we join one, we'll list it here.
2. Sponsored slots. Businesses can pay for sidebar, category and newsletter slots. These are always labelled "Sponsored" and are never part of a ranked list.
3. Paid Fast-Track testing. A vendor can pay £49 to have its tool tested sooner. Fast-Tracked reviews carry a "Fast-Tracked (paid)" label at the top. The vendor pays for speed, not for a result. The test, tasks and scoring are the same as for every other tool, and the review can be negative.
4. Our own product. We sell the Vibe Coder Stack Kit (£15). It recommends tools based on our test results.

What never changes

• Scores come only from our published methodology. Whether a tool pays us, sponsors us or has an affiliate programme has no effect on its score or its position within a ranking.
• Vendors never see, edit or approve reviews before they're published.
• We include tools in categories whether or not they pay us. Testing order: tools are tested in the order they were added, except Fast-Tracked tools, which go first. So, until a category has been fully tested, a paid tool may get its score earlier than others. We show how many tools have been tested so far, so you can see this.
• We don't accept payment for positive reviews, and we don't publish reviews that are fake or that hide an incentive.
