This policy sets out how Zazachat produces its reviews and rankings, and how we keep the editorial work separate from the ways the site makes money. It is written in plain language; the operator may add specifics over time.
Are the rankings independent?
Ranking order is editorial. It follows the criteria and SupportScore described on our How we test page — not payment. A vendor cannot buy a higher position, and a sponsored vendor is never placed at number one.
How is this site funded?
Zazachat is a monetized review publication, and we would rather be straight about that than pretend otherwise:
- Affiliate links. Some links to the tools we cover are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission when you buy through them at no extra cost to you.
- Sponsored placements. We sometimes run paid placements. Each one is clearly labeled (for example, "Sponsored" or "Featured Partner") and set apart from the organic ranked list.
- What money does not buy. Payment never changes a tool's score, its ranking position, or the substance of a review. We do not offer to remove criticism for a fee.
In other words: this is neither a pay-to-win list nor a site that pretends to take no advertising. The full breakdown is on our advertising disclosure page.
How do we keep reviews accurate?
Reviews are based on hands-on testing and, where relevant, publicly available documentation and pricing. Products change; when a tool ships a material update, we revisit the review rather than leaving stale claims in place.
How do corrections work?
If we get something wrong, we fix it and note significant corrections. To flag an error or request a review of outdated information, use our contact page.
Who bylines each review?
Every review carries a real byline from our editorial team. We do not publish anonymous reviews or invent contributor credentials.
