Our reviews are hands-on, independent, and built to be useful even when we earn nothing.
We focus on the tools that keep people safe and organised: hardware and software wallets, security tools, and crypto tax software. That’s where we can give hands-on, genuinely useful guidance — and it’s the only place we use affiliate links.
We do not run affiliate reviews of exchanges or trading products, and we never place “sign up and trade” calls to action. Where we mention an exchange, it’s editorial context, not a promotion — a deliberate choice under UK financial-promotion rules.
We judge a product on the things that actually matter to a normal user: security and track record, ease of setup and everyday use, transparency of the company behind it, genuine value for money, and the quality of support and documentation.
Where we can, we test hands-on. Where we can’t — or where something is too new to judge fairly — we say so, rather than dressing up a spec sheet as experience.
A score is our honest summary of those criteria, not a popularity contest and never a paid placement. No company can buy a review, a score, or a higher ranking. Affiliate commissions don’t move the number, and affiliate links are always marked as sponsored.
If we wouldn’t recommend something to a friend, a commission won’t change our minds — we’ll just tell you why we’d skip it.
Products change, and so do our views. We update reviews as things improve or degrade, and we correct genuine mistakes promptly under our Fact-Checking & Corrections policy. If you think a review is unfair or out of date, tell us.
