Our methodology

Ratings built for decisions, not clicks

We score products the way a careful analyst would: fees, APR, rewards math, eligibility, service quality, and fine-print landmines — then turn it into a clear recommendation.

How we make money
  1. 01

    Collect the data

    APRs, fees, APYs, coverage limits, and eligibility pulled from primary sources and refreshed continuously.

  2. 02

    Model real outcomes

    We run scenario math — spend profiles, loan sizes, credit tiers — so rankings reflect what you’d actually earn or pay.

  3. 03

    Publish a clear pick

    Every product gets a transparent score, plain-English tradeoffs, and a next step that matches your goal.
