No. We accept affiliate commission when you click through and subscribe — it costs you nothing extra and never affects ranking. Apps cannot pay for placement, period. Read our full disclosure below.

Top 10 apps: every quarter, fresh accounts, fresh money. Top 3: every month. We also re-score within 7 days of any major changelog or pricing change.

Yes — every code on this page was negotiated directly with the vendor for our readers, and we re-verify them weekly. If a code stops working, the deal page is updated within 24 hours.

Drop us a line. If it has more than 1,000 users and we haven't reviewed it, we'll fast-track it onto our test queue. We've added 23 reader-suggested apps in the past year.

We test each app's privacy policy, encryption, and data export options as part of the rubric. Apps that fail basic privacy tests don't make the ranking — we name them in our ‘avoid' list.

Read the #1 review (Candy AI) plus our beginner's path guide. That'll save you ~$120 in trial-and-error subscriptions and 8 hours of doomscrolling.
