Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: May 2026

How we make money

Compares.cheap participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click a link on this site and make a purchase, we may earn a commission from the merchant — at no extra cost to you. This is how we fund the editorial research that keeps our comparisons free to read.

Does this affect our rankings?

No. Affiliate relationships do not influence our rankings or recommendations. We do not accept payment for product placement. Our comparison methodology is based on independently researched pricing data, verified specifications, and editorial judgment.

If a product we recommend happens to have an affiliate program, we'll use it. If it doesn't, we'll still recommend it if it's the best option for readers.

Which programs do we participate in?

Current affiliate partnerships include (but are not limited to):

• Hostinger Affiliates (web hosting)
• NordVPN affiliate program (VPN)
• Involve Asia (Airwallex, Trip.com, BINGE and others)
• Commission Factory (NordVPN, travel insurance and others)

FTC compliance

In accordance with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, we clearly disclose our affiliate relationships on every page of this site via a disclosure notice at the footer of each article and on the homepage.
