Short version: as of the date on this page, 18BYTE runs no affiliate links and takes no vendor payment. If that changes, this page changes first.

Current position

18BYTE does not currently earn commission on any link on this site. Links to vendor pages exist so you can verify a price or a claim yourself, not to earn us anything.

If that changes

If we introduce affiliate links, all of the following will apply, without exception.

  • Any page containing an affiliate link will say so, near the top, in plain language.
  • A commercial relationship will never determine a verdict, a ranking position, or whether a product is included in a comparison.
  • We will not accept payment for a specific position, a specific score, or the removal of a criticism.
  • Products with no affiliate programme will continue to be recommended where they are the right answer.
  • Vendors will not see a review before publication.

Sponsored content

We currently publish none. If we ever do, it will be labelled sponsored at the top of the page, will not be written by the editorial team, and will not be linked from a review or comparison as though it were editorial work.

One Conductor

One Conductor is a product of 18BYTE Product Studio, which also publishes this site. That is disclosed wherever it appears. It is not ranked and it is not entered into comparisons against products we review. See editorial standards.
