How We Rank
Every review on AffiliateCMS.com follows the same process, so our ratings are consistent and comparable. This page explains how we research products, how our ratings work, and how we stay independent.
Our research process
We build each review from public product information and trusted third-party sources. Our AI research assistant, Atlas AI, helps gather and summarize this information, compare features, and flag pricing and plan details. A human editor then reviews, verifies, and edits every article before publication. We do not publish AI-generated content without human review.
How our ratings work
Each product receives an Editor’s rating on a scale of 1.0 to 5.0. Where relevant, we also score individual criteria, which vary by category:
- Affiliate networks: commission rates, payment reliability, platform and tracking, support, and program selection.
- Tools: value for money, features, ease of use, support, and integrations.
- Hosting providers: performance, uptime and reliability, value for money, ease of use, and support.
- Advertising platforms: earnings potential, reliability, ease of use, support, and value for money.
Ratings reflect how good a product is for publishers, marketers, and online businesses, not how much we might earn from it.
User reviews
Where available, we display ratings and reviews submitted by real users, separate from our own Editor’s rating. We do not fabricate or generate user reviews.
Keeping reviews current
Products change often. We update reviews as pricing, features, and plans change, and we show a last updated date on each review.
Editorial independence
AffiliateCMS.com is reader supported and earns affiliate commissions, as described in our Affiliate Disclosure. A company cannot pay for a higher rating, a better ranking, or a more favorable review. If you spot an error, tell us at [email protected].
