Full transparency on our funding

How We Make Money

Clearpick is an independent site. Here is exactly how it is funded and why this does not bias our recommendations.

Today: self-funded

Clearpick is currently self-funded. We earn no commissions from the software we list, and no vendor pays us to appear in our rankings or comparisons.

Our recommendations are based exclusively on our editorial evaluation framework: features, pricing, UX, customer support, and integrations. No commercial consideration enters our rankings.

Our editorial commitment

  • Our rankings are not for sale. No vendor can pay to rank higher in a comparison. Positions reflect our objective criteria only.
  • We cover free and open-source software too. If a free tool is the best in its category, it ranks first.
  • Negative findings stay published. If a tool has genuine flaws, we document them — no exceptions.

What's next?

If Clearpick adopts a partnership or affiliate model in the future, we will announce it clearly on this page and on every affected page, with explicit identification of all commercial links.
