How we verify offers

The value of this site is trust. A stale or wrong offer is worse than no offer at all, so we follow a strict process for every figure we publish.

1. Primary sources only

A figure is valid only when we can confirm it on the provider's own site, documentation, pricing page, or official blog/announcement. Third-party blogs and forum posts are leads to investigate, never sources we cite.

2. Every figure is sourced and dated

Each offer records the exact primary source URL and a last-verified date, both shown on the offer. Our data schema makes the source and date mandatory — an offer literally cannot be published without them.

Check our work: the raw data

Everything described here is published as a machine-readable dataset — JSON and CSV, every record carrying the primary sourceUrl it was verified against and its lastVerified date. If you want to audit a figure rather than take our word for it, that is the fastest way in.

3. Uncertain means unpublished

If we cannot confirm a number, we do not guess and we do not publish it. The offer stays a draft, excluded from the live site, until it's verified. You'll sometimes see us state plainly that an amount "could not be confirmed" rather than invent one — that's deliberate.

4. Availability is separate from credit validity

We check whether applications are open, paused, closed, conditional or limited to existing members. Programme dates alone cannot establish availability. An application deadline is separate from how long an awarded credit lasts; a recurring allowance has its own reset. Unknown dates are labelled as unstated, never as unlimited credit. Expired records remain available for context and point to current alternatives.

5. Review ownership and cadence

The editorial team owns source reviews and corrections across each offer’s linked pages. Our review queue targets seven days for changing startup applications and time-limited promotions, and 30 days for more stable terms. These are review targets, not continuous monitoring or guaranteed response times. Source changes can happen between reviews. Automated checks flag overdue reviews; only an actual source read can advance a verification date.

6. No abuse

We list only legitimate offers and claim methods. We never describe fake eligibility, fraudulent multi-accounting, or terms-violating "stacking." Combining distinct free tiers — each used within its own terms — is fine, and we'll say so when it is.

Spotted something out of date? Let us know and we'll re-verify. Freshness is the whole point.
