How we make money

Factory Metrics is an independent research initiative supported by industry partners. Here is exactly how it is funded.

Affiliate links

Some outbound links to vendors are affiliate links, and Factory Metrics may earn a commission if you sign up. Commissions never influence rankings or scores — every platform is scored on the same published rubric (Features 40% · Ease of use 30% · Value 30%), and affiliate links are marked rel="sponsored".

Advertising & partnerships

We run display advertising and disclosed vendor partnerships. Sponsors cannot buy a ranking, a score, or favourable wording.

Independence

Editorial decisions, rankings, and the verification process in our Editorial process are made independently of any sponsor or partner.
