How this site makes money
Last updated
The short version
WillsVerdict is free to read and carries no ads. It is paid for by affiliate commissions: if you click certain links and then buy a will, trust or membership, the service may pay us a fee. You pay the same price either way, and we never see your documents or your answers.
Which links can earn a commission
Links that take you to a will or trust service go through an address on this site that starts with /go/, and every page with such a link says so near the top, before the first one. Not every /go/ link earns anything: some services have no affiliate program, and others have not approved us. We route them all the same way so the pages work the same whether or not a deal exists.
Links to a service's pricing page or terms, next to a number we quote, are plain source links. They earn nothing.
What a commission never changes
- The prices and terms we report. They are read from each service's own pages and shown with the source and the date.
- The order services are listed in. It is fixed by how established each service is.
- Who we say a service suits, and who we say should skip it.
- Whether we tell you a free will is enough, or that your situation needs a local attorney rather than any online package.
What you should weigh anyway
We are more likely to write long reviews of services we can link to commercially, because that is what keeps the site running. That is a limit on what we cover, not on what we conclude, but you should know it. It is also why every number here links to the page it came from: you can check any of it in a minute.
What services get from us
Services do not see pages before they are published and cannot pay for a position or a review. They receive nothing from us that identifies you. See the privacy policy.
