At Skrumble, we believe you deserve to know exactly how we generate revenue and how it might (or might not) influence what you see on our platform. This page explains our business model in plain English — no fine print, no hidden agendas.
Editorial independence comes first. We make money through partnerships, but we never let those relationships influence our expert ratings, reviews, or recommendations. Our job is helping you find the right crypto platform for your needs, not the one that pays us the most.
When you click a link to a platform from our site and sign up, we may earn a commission. This doesn’t cost you anything extra — it’s paid by the platform as a marketing expense.
What this looks like:
Important: Commission rates vary between platforms, but this never influences our expert scores. Higher-paying partnerships don’t result in better ratings.
Some platforms pay for premium placement or banner ads on our site. These are always clearly marked with labels like “Sponsored,” “Ad,” or “Promoted.”
What this includes:
What this doesn’t include:
Our newsletter occasionally features sponsored content or mentions. These are always clearly disclosed and separate from our editorial recommendations.
We may create sponsored guides or educational content in partnership with platforms. This content is always labeled as sponsored and doesn’t affect our independent reviews.
Our editorial team (who write reviews and assign ratings) operates independently from our business team (who handle partnerships). Reviewers don’t know commission rates when evaluating platforms.
All expert ratings follow our published methodologies. We test every platform using the same criteria, regardless of business relationships.
Platforms cannot pay for better ratings, guaranteed coverage, or removal of negative feedback. They can pay for advertising, but not editorial influence.
Anything influenced by a business relationship is clearly labeled. If you see “Sponsored,” “Ad,” or “Promoted,” that content involves payment.
We currently have affiliate partnerships with platforms including:
We also review platforms where we have no affiliate relationship. Some platforms don’t offer affiliate programs, others we haven’t partnered with yet. This doesn’t affect how we rate them.
We follow Federal Trade Commission guidelines for affiliate disclosure, including:
We adhere to review industry standards including:
We’re selective about partnerships and prioritize:
Having an affiliate relationship doesn’t guarantee positive coverage — it just means we may earn a commission if users choose your platform after reading our honest review.

While we don’t publish exact revenue figures, here’s our general breakdown:
This may change as we grow, but affiliate partnerships will likely remain our primary revenue source.
Check our methodology pages and compare our ratings across different platforms. You’ll see our scores are based on our published criteria, not business relationships. We also regularly review platforms with no affiliate relationships and maintain the same standards.
Affiliate relationships are standard in the review industry — from tech blogs to financial comparison sites. What matters is transparency and editorial independence, which we maintain rigorously.
Absolutely. If a platform doesn’t meet our standards or fit a user’s needs, we’ll say so, regardless of any business relationship.

We make money when our recommendations help you find a crypto platform you love. Our business succeeds when we provide honest, helpful guidance that leads to good matches between users and platforms.
Our promise: We’ll always be transparent about our business relationships and maintain editorial independence in everything we publish. If you ever feel we’ve fallen short of this standard, please let us know.
