Answer

Because selling them would compromise the ranking. If we profited from every listing, we would have a reason to push the highest-margin option, not the best fit for you.

Staying independent — not selling the tools, and clearly labeling any paid placement — is what lets us rank on evidence and show weak points honestly.

Neutrality is not a side feature; it is the reason a directory is worth trusting. See the independent approach in our directory.
