Our Goal

Our Mission

Cut through the noise. Find the truth. Make smarter tech purchases.

🎯

One Authoritative Score

Instead of reading 15 reviews to form an opinion, we aggregate them into a single, weighted score that represents the critical consensus.

⚖️

Zero Bias

We don’t take money from manufacturers. We don’t write reviews. We simply collect and aggregate what the most trusted critics are saying.

🔍

Total Transparency

Every score shows exactly which publications we aggregated, their individual scores, and links directly to the original reviews so you can read the full analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you normalize different rating systems?
We convert all ratings to a 100-point scale using a consistent methodology: 5-star systems are multiplied by 20, 10-point systems by 10, letter grades use standard conversion (A=90-100, B=80-89, etc.), and percentages remain as-is. This ensures fair comparison across all sources.
Do you accept payment from manufacturers?
Absolutely not. We are 100% editorially independent. Our revenue comes from affiliate links when users purchase products through our site. We never accept payment to feature products or manipulate scores.
Why don’t some products have scores?
We only publish aggregate scores when we have at least 3 reviews from credible sources. This ensures our scores represent a true consensus rather than one or two opinions. Products with fewer reviews are marked as “Coming Soon.”
How often do scores update?
Our system checks for new reviews every 8 hours. When a new review is published by one of our sources, the aggregate score automatically recalculates within hours. You’re always seeing the most current critical consensus.
Can I submit a publication to be included?
Yes! We’re always looking to expand our sources. Contact us with the publication name, their review policy, and examples of their tech coverage. We evaluate sources based on editorial standards, review depth, and technical expertise.
Do you include user reviews?
Currently, we only aggregate professional critic reviews. We believe expert, in-depth reviews from journalists with hands-on experience provide more reliable guidance than crowdsourced ratings. User reviews may be added as a separate metric in the future.
