How we make money
Most comparison sites hide this. We lead with it — because if you can see how we're paid, you can judge whether to trust our rankings.
When you open an account through one of our links, the platform pays us a commission — at no extra cost to you. That's how we keep the site free and independent. Crucially, the commission is weighted 0%in our scoring, so it can't move a platform up or down the rankings. See our methodology.
How affiliate deals work
CPA
A one-off payment when a referred user funds an account (a 'qualified deposit').
Revenue share
An ongoing share of the platform's revenue from a referred trader.
Hybrid
A smaller CPA plus a revenue share.
We are paid the same way regardless of which deal a platform offers, and we never rank by payout size.
