How Telecom Buyer Guide is funded
Telecom Buyer Guide is free to use and is supported by advertising. This page explains how we earn money, and what that money does and does not change on our site.
How we earn money
Some of the companies featured on Telecom Buyer Guide have a direct or indirect marketing relationship with us. We may receive compensation in a few ways.
Demo and quote requests
A company may pay us when you book a demo, request a quote or ask for setup help through our pages.
Partner links
A company may pay us when you click certain links on our site and later sign up for its service.
Featured placements
A company may pay to appear in a call-to-action box, such as a demo button or a free-help banner. These boxes are separate from our rankings.
What compensation can and cannot affect
What it can affect
Which companies have demo buttons, call-to-action boxes or partner links.
Where call-to-action boxes appear on a page.
Which companies we write a dedicated pricing guide about.
Whether a partner’s current demo offer or promotion is mentioned.
Which companies we choose to partner with. A partnership can lead to a demo button on a page, but it never earns a company a higher spot in our rankings.
What it cannot affect
Our rankings, which are based on evidence you can check: independent customer ratings and how many reviews stand behind them, published prices and plan details, verified features, and how often independent buying guides recommend each option.
Customer ratings and reviews, which come only from independent review sites such as G2, TrustRadius and Capterra, never from a company’s own website.
The prices and plan details we show, which come from each company’s own website.
The drawbacks and limitations we point out for each option.
A company cannot pay us to change what we write about it.
A ranking is our evidence-based assessment on the date shown in each guide. It is not a promise that one company is right for your business, so compare the options against your own needs.
Prices and plan details
Prices and plan details are checked against each company’s own website on the date shown in each guide. Companies can change their prices, plans and promotions at any time, so please confirm the final price with the company before you buy.
We do not cover every company
Telecom Buyer Guide does not include every company or every offer on the market. A company’s absence from a guide does not mean it is a poor choice.
