Rules
Sponsorship supports the directory. Editorial decisions remain independent.
Clearly labeled
Sponsored content is clearly marked “Sponsored” and distinguished from directory entries.
Ordering stays editorial
Featured picks, category order, and comparison column order ignore sponsorship. Featured is an editorial flag and cannot be bought.
No sponsored API relays
Sponsorship is not available in the API relay category or on relay tool pages.
No scores or rankings
Sponsor copy describes the product. It never includes a score, a rank, or a “best” claim.
FAQ
How do I become a sponsor?
