What Makes This Site Different From a Provider's Own Marketing Page

Reading a provider's own page and reading a comparison site are different activities — even when both are honest.

Every provider on this site has its own marketing page, and every one of those pages is, understandably, built to convince you that specific provider is the right choice. Here's the actual structural difference between that and what this site is doing.

What a provider's own page is built to do

Convert you — that's not a criticism, it's just what a company's own marketing page is for. Every design decision, every testimonial, every piece of copy is in service of getting you to choose that specific provider.

What this site is built to do instead

Help you figure out which provider, if any, actually fits your situation — including the possibility that a provider not on this page might be the better fit for you, or that none of them are right for your specific case. We may earn a commission when you click through, disclosed openly on every page, but that commission doesn't determine which providers get listed or how they're described.

Why this distinction is worth remembering

Reading a provider's own marketing page and reading a comparison site are different activities with different built-in incentives, even when both are honest. Understanding which one you're reading at any given moment is useful media literacy — for this site and every other one.
