Affiliate policy: what we earn and what it does not change

Of the 28 tracked entities, 1 is tied to us by an affiliate program, and 27 are direct links. An affiliate link pays us if you buy after clicking, at no extra cost to you. It changes neither the order of the tables, nor the figures we read, nor whether a firm appears on the site. As of 20 September 2026.

How affiliation works

An affiliate program is an agreement between us and a firm or a vendor: if you click from fundedyield and buy, we receive a commission, often a percentage of the amount paid, sometimes recurring. The price you pay is the same as if you had landed on the firm's site directly, and a discount code, where one exists, makes it lower. This is the model that funds hand-checking without selling courses or running advertising.

The five rules we hold ourselves to

They are written here so they can be held against us: each one is checkable from the site's public pages.

  1. 1.The order of a table or a ranking never depends on affiliation. It follows the criterion stated at the top of the page, computed from database fields, and the reader can re-sort on whichever column they like.
  2. 2.A figure is never rounded, removed or presented differently because the firm is a partner. A documented weakness stays on a partner's record.
  3. 3.No firm is added to or removed from the site for a commercial reason. A firm with no affiliate program is compared exactly like the others, with a direct link.
  4. 4.We only use codes assigned to us or public on the vendor's site. Never another comparison site's code: it belongs to their partnership, and using it would divert their commission.
  5. 5.Every affiliate link is flagged where it appears and carries the matching technical attributes. Entities on direct links are listed on this page alongside the partners.

The list is produced from the database, not written by hand: it moves when the records move.

How to check what we claim

Hover over an outbound button: the address starts with /go/, our tracked redirect, and the code's page says whether the link is an affiliate one. Then compare a ranking's order with the sortable columns of the table: the criterion is written at the top of the page and the calculation is described in the methodology. Finally, the compatibility matrix can be downloaded as JSON and CSV: if a figure on the site looks arranged, the export lets you recompute it.

Affiliation: frequently asked questions

Does going through your links cost me more?

No. The price is the one the firm displays, and an active discount code brings it down. The commission comes out of the firm's margin, it is not added to your basket.

Does affiliation influence your rankings?

No. The order is computed from typed database fields, criterion by criterion, and the calculation is public. Of 28 tracked entities, 1 are covered by an affiliate program: if the order followed the money, they would all sit at the top, which takes a minute to check on our tables.

Which links are affiliate links today?

1 entity is tied to us by an affiliate program: Phidias Propfirm. All the others are direct links that earn us nothing.

Do you ever turn a partnership down?

Yes, in two cases: when the firm makes the partnership conditional on favourable editorial treatment, and when its public terms are too contradictory for us to verify. In the second case the firm stays compared on the site, with a direct link and its verification status.
