Affiliate Links
Some links on PhoneCompass are affiliate links. When you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from the retailer or carrier — at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links always point to the same price you would find going direct.
We use affiliate links on phone deals pages, buying guides, plan comparison pages, carrier pages, and comparison tables. They are how we keep the site free to use.
Affiliate commissions are how independent publishers like PhoneCompass cover the cost of research, data maintenance, and keeping the site free — without charging readers or accepting payments from the brands we cover.
Affiliate revenue never influences our Compass Scores, editorial rankings, or recommendations. A phone does not get a higher score or better placement because its retailer has an affiliate program.
Amazon
PhoneCompass is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc., or its affiliates.
Editorial Independence
PhoneCompass is editorially independent. No manufacturer, carrier, or retailer pays to influence a Compass Score or any editorial ranking on this site. Carriers and manufacturers cannot pay to improve their ranking, score, or placement in any PhoneCompass comparison or recommendation.
For a full explanation of how scores are calculated — including source credibility tiers, review weighting, and confidence labels — see How We Score Phones.
Advertising
PhoneCompass is ad-free. If we ever introduce advertising, paid placements will be clearly labeled and kept separate from editorial content.
