FilterSpecs earns nothing today. No affiliate programme is approved, no link on this site is monetised, and no merchant pays us anything when you buy. The intention is to earn affiliate commissions, and this page will name every rate when one exists.
What we earn on
Nothing, at present. We hold no affiliate relationship with any merchant, so every buy link on this site sends you to the merchant's own product page with no tracking parameter attached and earns us nothing.
The links still run through our redirect so that we can count clicks. What that records is on the privacy page, field by field.
What that does not influence
Scores are produced from the scoring model before any commercial data is attached to a product. The four components, certified coverage, claim integrity, cost of ownership and practical fit, contain no revenue term. A product's score is identical whether we earn nothing on it or earn the highest rate we have.
- We do not accept payment for inclusion, for a higher score, or for placement in a ranked list.
- We do not accept free products from manufacturers. We do not test products at all; we verify certifications against certifier databases.
- We do not allow manufacturers to review a page before it is published.
- Merchant order within a buy block is by price, lowest first, not by commission rate.
Where the conflict actually sits
The honest risk is not that we would inflate a score. It is that we have more reason to publish pages about products that are sold with a commission than about products that are not. We publish the uncertified and the unavailable anyway, and the claimed-but-not-certified block on every product page exists for that reason, but a reader is entitled to know where the pressure points.
Commission rates by merchant
There are none to publish. As of 21 Sep 2026 we hold no approved affiliate programme, so there is no rate, no merchant and no category to disclose. When that changes, the full table appears here before any link is monetised.
