How We Make Money
FeesWizard is free to use and free to run for you. Here is exactly how it pays for itself — and the hard line between that and what we tell you.
Affiliate links
Some of the links to brokers on this site are affiliate links. If you open an account after clicking one, the broker may pay us a commission. Those links are marked in the page's HTML with rel="sponsored", so both you and search engines can see which ones they are. Not every broker link is an affiliate link — some point straight to the broker's own site.
It costs you nothing extra
You pay the same price whether you use our link or go to the broker directly. The commission comes from the broker's marketing budget, not from you. No fee, no markup, no worse deal.
The line commission never crosses
Money can pay for a link. It cannot buy a result. Rankings, scores, and fee figures are computed from the fee dataset — our methodology explains how. When a comparison names one broker cheaper than another, that verdict came out of the numbers, not the payout. A broker that pays us the most can still be ranked last, because the data put it there.
The proof: brokers that pay us nothing
The clearest test of independence is whether we recommend brokers that earn us zero. We do. Freetrade, for example, has no affiliate programme at all — there is no commission for us to earn — and it is listed purely on merit, wherever the data puts it. If rankings followed the money, a broker that pays nothing would never appear near the top. It does. That is verifiable proof the two are separate.
Why an affiliate model at all
Collecting and re-verifying fee schedules by hand takes real work. Affiliate commissions fund that work without putting the site behind a paywall or selling your data. It aligns our incentive with yours: we only earn when we send you somewhere you actually chose to go.
