Enhanced Sponsored Profile
Put your product in front of buyers already comparing tools.
An Enhanced Sponsored Profile on BestStacked: clearly labeled Sponsored, a 12-month placement, $1,500 per year. Available by application and subject to editorial approval.
The rule
Sponsorship funds the placement. It never buys a score, a ranking, or a verdict.
Sponsored profiles are clearly labeled and do not influence our independent reviews, rankings, scores, or editorial conclusions.

Placement
Next to our coverage, outside the rankings.
Profiles run in a clearly marked Sponsored profiles section on the BestStacked reviews index. It sits apart from independent reviews and ranked tables, styled as part of the publication but never mistakable for independent coverage.
One profile card, labeled Sponsored
Your logo, product name, category, description and one CTA, in the Sponsored profiles section. Never inside a ranked list, a Best Of list or a review.

Editorial independence
Does sponsorship affect reviews or rankings? No.
Sponsored profiles are clearly labeled and do not influence our independent reviews, rankings, scores, or editorial conclusions.
Sponsored profiles carry a visible Sponsored label and are styled separately from independent reviews.
Profiles never appear in ranked tables or Best Of lists unless the product independently earned that place through a review.
No review or rating structured data is ever attached to a sponsored profile.
Outbound sponsored links use sponsored link attributes.

Questions
Before you submit.
Can we buy a review?+
No. Reviews, scores, and rankings are editorial and are never for sale. An Enhanced Sponsored Profile is a labeled placement that sits outside our independent coverage.
Does paying for a sponsored profile affect review scores or rankings?+
No. A product only reaches a ranked table or a Best Of list by independently earning that place through a real review. Sponsorship has no effect on scores, rankings or verdicts.
How is it labeled?+
Every sponsored profile carries a visible Sponsored label, is styled distinctly from independent reviews, and its outbound link uses sponsored link attributes.
Do all applications get approved?+
No. Sponsored profiles are available by application and subject to editorial approval. We aim to respond within two business days, and if a product isn't a fit we say so instead of running it.
What happens if you reject our submission?+
Nothing is invoiced and nothing is charged. We explain why and, where relevant, suggest a package that would fit better.
How does payment work?+
If approved, we'll follow up with terms and next steps. Nothing is charged on this site, and we never store card details.
What are the asset requirements?+
A square or wordmark logo (PNG, JPG, or SVG) at 512px or larger, plus up to 400 characters of plain-text product description. We don't accept HTML or scripts.
How long does a sponsored profile last?+
12 months from publication. We reach out before the term ends about renewal; if you don't renew, the profile simply comes down at 12 months.

Submit in a few minutes. We'll review the fit and come back within two business days.
