How TapDeals Makes Money

TapDeals is free to read. Here’s exactly how it earns money, and the lines we don’t cross.

Last updated

TapDeals is free to read, with no paywall and no account needed. Here’s where our income comes from.

1. Affiliate commissions

When you click some product or deal links and then buy, the marketplace or vendor may pay us a commission. You pay the same price. This is our main source of income today. Details: Affiliate Disclosure.

2. Sponsorship (in future, always labelled)

We may accept clearly labelled sponsored placements. Sponsors buy visibility, never a verdict, a score or a ranking. Details: Advertising Disclosure.

What we don’t do

  • We don’t charge vendors to be reviewed or to receive a better score.
  • We don’t let vendors approve reviews before publication.
  • We don’t sell your personal data. See our Privacy Policy.
  • We don’t hide that a deal is no cheaper than buying direct, even when it costs us a commission.

Why this model

Affiliate income lets us spend time on careful research — reading pricing pages, comparing tiers and checking what real buyers say — without charging readers. Our Editorial Policy and Review Methodology keep that income from shaping the verdicts.
