How this site works
Comparison sites have a trust problem: most of them are paid to recommend whatever pays best. Here's exactly how this one works instead — how we rate, how we make money, and what we promise.
How we rate agencies
Every rating is editorial. It's based on: real prices relative to what's delivered, responsiveness and honesty during pre-sale questions, document handling quality, timeline accuracy versus what was promised, language support that actually works, and feedback from real applicants who reach us through check-in emails.
Ratings are never negotiated. No agency can pay to raise a rating, and no agency can pay to remove one. When an agency's behavior changes — better or worse — the rating follows.
How we make money
Some agencies pay us a referral fee when someone we send them signs up. Agencies with an active referral agreement are marked with a 'Partner' badge wherever they appear — on cards, profiles and comparison tables.
Two things referral money cannot do here: it cannot change a rating, and it cannot change your price — you pay the same whether you arrive through us or not.
Why we ask for your email before the quiz result
Two reasons. First, we send your match and the full comparison so you don't lose it. Second — and more important — we check in with you at day 7, 30 and 60 to hear how the process actually went. Those replies go to a real person, and they're the backbone of our ratings. Agencies know we hear directly from their customers; that's what keeps the listings honest.
What we promise
Real price ranges for every listed agency. Disclosed partnerships. Editorially independent ratings. And a comparison built by someone who went through the process himself — not a content farm.
