How We Make Money

Updated October 2026

Chain Ratings is free to read and doesn't charge readers anything. Here's plainly how we actually make money.

Affiliate Commissions

Affiliate commissions fund most of what we do: a provider may pay us if you sign up through our link, at no extra cost to you. This is flagged on every relevant page and spelled out in our Terms of Use.

This Doesn't Buy a Better Score

Paying us a commission buys a provider nothing in terms of score or position - every provider is held to the same criteria on our Methodology page either way.
