SiteBartar Editorial Standards
How SiteBartar researches, scores, and recommends tools — and what we refuse to do.
SiteBartar Research · Updated June 2026
Our principles
No paid placement: brands cannot buy a higher rank in quiz results or best directories.
Affiliate links never change match order — commissions are disclosed and separated from scoring logic.
Explainable results only: every recommendation includes plain-language reasons and honest why-not notes for runners-up.
How we score
Prop firms use a constraint engine — hard rules like drawdown type, news restrictions, and payout speed eliminate non-fits before ranking.
Newsletter and website builders use a belief engine — your stated priorities (ownership, monetization, simplicity) weight in-stack tools.
Crypto exchanges use a use-case engine — beginner, US-regulated, low-fees, and derivatives personas map to different fits.
See how-sitebartar-scoring-works for the full breakdown of engines and confidence levels.

Take the Find Your Prop Firm quiz (~2 min)What we verify
Fees, rules, and features come from official documentation — not scraped review aggregators.
Financial vertical content carries an updatedAt date; prop and crypto pages refresh monthly at minimum.
When firms change rules, we update tool attributes and flag affected quiz results.
Limitations
We do not guarantee trading outcomes, returns, challenge pass rates, or payout approval.
This is not financial, legal, or tax advice — consult professionals for your situation.
Out-of-stack tools may appear in competitor-funnel insights but never as quiz recommendations unless added to our active pool.

Do affiliates influence rankings?
No — methodology is rule-based. Affiliate relationships are disclosed and never alter match order.
How often is content updated?
Prop and crypto monthly; newsletter and website builders quarterly — or sooner when pricing or rules change.
Can I trust a single review?
Reviews help context, but fit is personal. Use the quiz for a match on your constraints — then read the compare pages if you're between two tools.
