Editorial policy
Independence
FOMO Labs, Inc. has no review of this site before publication, no approval over anything on it, and no agreement with us beyond a public referral programme that anyone can join. Nobody at Fomo has seen a draft. If that ever changes, it will be disclosed at the top of every affected page on the day it changes, not retroactively.
We have no referral arrangement with Axiom or with any other product we compare against Fomo, which is stated on the comparison pages themselves.
What affiliate money does and does not affect
| Affiliate revenue does affect | Affiliate revenue must never affect |
|---|---|
| Which products get a full review at all, since we cover what we can monetise and say so. | The rating a product receives. |
| How prominently a referral link or code box appears on a page. | Whether a criticism, complaint or failure is published. |
| Which comparison pages we build first. | Which product wins a comparison, or how the losing side is described. |
| How often a page is re-checked, since revenue pays for the time. | Whether an unfavourable fact is buried, softened or omitted. |
A concrete test of this: our own fee pages state that the referral code saves a reader nothing on trades under roughly 210 US dollars, because the minimum fee applies either way. That fact reduces our revenue. It stays because it is true.
Comparisons must state where Fomo loses
- Every comparison page carries a cons list for Fomo of the same weight as its pros list.
- Where a competitor is cheaper, faster or more capable at a task, the page says so plainly and says at what threshold it becomes true.
- Where we have not tested the competitor ourselves, its figures are labelled third party and its wins are still printed.
- A "which should you pick" table must contain rows where the answer is not Fomo.
Evidence rules
Every factual claim is placed in one of four buckets: primary and Fomo's own, measured by us, third party only, or Not verified. The rules and the five things this site refuses to claim are on the methodology page. External sources are listed on the sources page.
Corrections and right of reply
Errors are corrected with a dated public note on the corrections page, not by silent editing. FOMO Labs, Inc. and any other company written about here can dispute a claim by writing to hello@fomofamilycode.com; a documented dispute gets published alongside the claim whether or not we agree with it.
