How this site is paid

The deal, plainly

Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. If you follow one and sign up with that seller, we may be paid a commission. You pay nothing extra — the price you are quoted is the price the seller publishes, and it is the same whether you arrive from here or type the address yourself.

Commissions help fund our comparisons and provider reviews. We examine public product information, retain the original source readings and distinguish confirmed details from questions to resolve.

A commercial arrangement exists with some of the sellers on this site and not with others, and which is which changes as sellers are added and arrangements end. That is why this page describes the relationship rather than tallying it: a number printed here would be a promise about our own position that goes wrong the week it changes, and a wrong disclosure is worse than a general one.

What the money changes

Being paid can move where a seller appears and how prominent it is, which is true of every site that compares things for a living. Rather than leave that as a general admission, here are the only two surfaces on which it happens:

• In the short set of seller cards near the top of a page, a partner that sells that page’s molecule comes first, and everyone else follows in the order the records are written.
• The offer card in the margin of a page shows partners only.

Both carry a line under the button saying we may be paid. Nothing else on the site moves for money: the full seller board and every comparison table are in record order, and a seller cannot buy a position in them.

What it does not change

• It cannot reach the matrix. The grid this whole site is built on sets five growth-hormone peptides against each other on half-life, receptor, selectivity and regulatory status. Every one of those is a property of the molecule, established in a published document long before any seller put it on a shelf. There is no cell in it a seller could buy, because there is no cell in it that is about a seller.
• It does not change the price we print. Every figure is read off the seller’s own page and printed as found, with the billing cycle it is charged against and whatever the seller does or does not say about the dose. Where the seller states no dose, we print that rather than filling it in.
• It does not change the date. A commission cannot make an older offer newly verified. We retain original source readings and qualify uncertain or conflicting offers.
• It does not buy a favorable sentence. No seller reviews anything before it runs. None can approve, edit or veto a conclusion, and where a partner has a weakness we have measured, it is written down in the same words we would use for anyone else.
• No page here names a cheapest, and nothing carries a score. A floor price, a standing rate, a prepaid total and an introductory offer are four different measurements, charged against different billing periods and mostly against no stated dose — putting them in an order would be an arithmetic claim this data cannot carry. That restraint is editorial, not commercial: it costs a partner exactly as much as it costs anyone else, and it is the reason there is no “#1” on this site to sell.

The sellers who pay us nothing

Sellers we earn nothing from are listed throughout this site and are not hidden, softened or left off a board for it. They are not promoted either: they do not lead the card block and they do not appear in the margin offer, because those are the two paid placements described above.

Every seller on this site, paid or not, has a record on the provider reviews page with its published offers and billing terms.

How to tell, without taking our word for it

Partner buttons carry a visible line directly underneath explaining that we may earn a commission if you sign up. Read that disclosure alongside the provider’s pricing and plan details.

If a button has no such line under it, we are not being paid for that click.

The pages with no money on them at all

Our calculators and planning tools, editorial policy, legal pages, corrections and contact page contain no paid placements. You can use the tools without following a provider link.

If anything on this page does not match what you find on the site, that is a correction and we want it: tell us and it gets published, dated and signed.
