How recommendations work
The Recommended order ranks each product on public signals, never on payment:
- how much moderated public feedback it has, and its average rating where the source rates;
- the value of its strongest offer that is still current;
- how recently its offers were checked at the source.
Research records and offers that have ended are not listed.
Some outbound links are affiliate links, marked next to the link: heap.page may earn a commission when you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. Commission never changes an offer's terms or what we publish about a product, and it only decides the order between products whose scores are tied.
