How We Make Money
We believe in complete transparency about how PropFirm Scanner generates revenue. Here's exactly how we keep the lights on.
Affiliate Commissions
When you click on a link to a prop firm from our website and make a purchase, we may earn a commission from that prop firm. This is our primary source of revenue.
Important: This commission comes from the prop firm, not from you. You pay the same price whether you use our link or not — and often you'll pay less thanks to our exclusive discount codes.
What This Means for You
What We Do
- Clearly mark affiliate links on our site
- Provide honest reviews regardless of affiliate status
- Include non-affiliate firms in our comparisons
- Offer exclusive discount codes that save you money
- Update our data regularly for accuracy
- Disclose our business model transparently
What We Don't Do
- Accept payment to improve rankings
- Hide negative information about affiliates
- Recommend firms we don't believe in
- Exclude firms because they're not affiliates
- Charge you extra through our links
- Let commissions influence our reviews
Editorial Independence
Our reviews, rankings, and comparisons are based on objective criteria including:
A prop firm's affiliate status does not affect its position in our rankings. We've recommended non-affiliate firms and criticized affiliate partners when warranted.
Our Affiliate Relationships
We have affiliate partnerships with many of the prop firms featured on our site. When you see a "Visit Website" or "Buy Challenge" button, it typically contains an affiliate link.
