GovernBench earns money from Featured listings and entry fees. We earn no commission from any tool we list.

## What is paid and how you can tell

**Featured.** A Featured listing shows at the top of its category, first in the home page's list, first on pages about its rivals and first in search results. Wherever it shows, it carries the label **Featured**. Its facts, score and verdict are the same ones it would have without paying.

**Your place on GovernBench.** A new tool joins GovernBench with a one-time payment, and we research it in full before it goes live. The payment buys no rank and no label: the tool sits where its facts put it, with the same score and verdict it would have anyway.

## Where our links go

A Visit link takes you to the tool's own website. Most go through a short address on GovernBench first, which sends you straight on and adds GovernBench to the web address, so the tool can see where the visit came from.

None of them is an affiliate link, and no tool pays us for a visit or a sign-up.

## What is not for sale

Rankings, scores, verdicts and our data. Every listing is built from the tool's own website, and keeping its facts right is our job either way. See our [editorial policy](https://governbench.com/editorial-policy).

## Changes to a listing

Changes a maker asks for are made only on a paid listing. A listing that has never been paid for shows what our own data says.

Anyone can report a wrong fact with “Report an error” on a listing, at no cost. We fix it once the tool's own website confirms it. Paying buys changes and speed, never accuracy.
