How we make money

Transparency about revenue is part of trust. Here is how Method1st earns money and how we ensure it does not affect our rankings.

Revenue model

Method1st may earn revenue through referral partnerships, advertising, or lead generation when users click through to provider websites from our comparison pages. This means some or all of the provider links on our site may be commercial relationships.

What this does not affect

• •Rankings: Provider scores and rankings are determined by our editorial methodology, not by commercial relationships.
• •Inclusion: Providers are included in comparisons based on category relevance, not payment.
• •Content: Review content, gap labels, and risk disclosures are not influenced by commercial relationships.

Our commitment

We believe that honest rankings and commercial sustainability are not in conflict. If our rankings are trustworthy, readers use them. If readers use them, providers benefit from the traffic. This alignment only works if we protect editorial independence — which is why rankings are never sold, and scores are never adjusted for commercial reasons.
