Independence is paramount to our mission at investor.com. We do not accept payment for referrals, and we do not sell visitor data, period. We also refuse to sell banner advertisements, and our tools do not require private, personal information to be shared.

Our editorial decisions are, and always have been, independent and impartial.
Our mantra is simple: people before profits.
We pride ourselves on analyzing products using strict, proprietary testing methods and collecting insightful data to draw comparisons. Our reviews are the result of hundreds of hours of research and testing, and our data is validated by in-house analysts. Some examples of our meticulous processes:
