Affiliate Disclosure

Transparency is important to us. Here's how we make money and how it affects our recommendations.

The Short Version

TopsFive earns a commission when you purchase products through our links. This doesn't cost you anything extra, and it helps us keep the site running. Our rankings and recommendations are based on our honest assessment, not on which products pay us the most.

How We Make Money

TopsFive is a participant in various affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to retailers. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Amazon Services LLC Associates Program
  • Other retail affiliate programs
  • Direct partnerships with brands

When you click on a link to a product on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help us pay for hosting, research, and the time we spend testing and reviewing products.

How This Affects Our Recommendations

It doesn't. Our editorial integrity is the foundation of TopsFive. Here's our commitment to you:

  • Rankings are never for sale. We don't accept payment to rank products higher or to include products in our lists.
  • We test everything. Products are ranked based on our hands-on testing and research, not commission rates.
  • We recommend what we believe in. If a product isn't good enough, it won't make our Top 5, regardless of potential earnings.
  • We disclose all affiliate relationships. You'll always know when a link may earn us a commission.

Amazon Affiliate Disclosure

As an Amazon Associate, TopsFive earns from qualifying purchases. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of the product.

Product Prices

We do our best to keep product prices up to date, but prices can change frequently. The prices displayed on TopsFive are for reference only. Always verify the final price on the retailer's website before making a purchase.

Our Promise to You

We believe that the best way to build a sustainable business is to earn your trust. That means:

  • Being honest about products, even when it means recommending something that earns us less
  • Clearly labeling sponsored content (which we currently don't have)
  • Updating our reviews when products change or new information becomes available
  • Listening to your feedback and correcting mistakes when we make them
