TrueComb is reader-supported. Here's exactly how that works, what it means for you, and what it doesn't change about our editorial standards.
TrueComb is free to use. We earn revenue through affiliate commissions: when you click a product link on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer at no extra cost to you. This commission helps fund our editorial research, product reviews, and ongoing site development.
Amazon Associates Program: TrueComb is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Our affiliate tag is truecomb-20.
This disclosure applies to all product links across TrueComb, including links in the Honey Finder, buying guides, recipe pages, honey type pages, and articles. Where applicable, affiliate disclosures appear near product recommendations and links throughout the site.
When you click a product link on TrueComb and purchase something on Amazon, we may earn a commission. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or navigate to Amazon directly — our affiliate relationship adds no cost to your purchase.
You are never obligated to use our links. If you prefer, you can search for any product we mention directly on Amazon or at any other retailer.
Products featured on TrueComb are selected based on editorial research, ingredient transparency, labeling clarity, and sourcing information. Brands cannot pay to appear in our recommendations.
Every product in our Honey Finder and buying guides is evaluated using the same criteria — our published scoring methodology — regardless of whether an affiliate link exists for that product. If a product scores well but has no affiliate link, we still feature it.
Our affiliate relationships have no influence on our editorial content. Specifically:
No paid scores. No brand can pay for a higher TrueComb Score. Scores are calculated using our published methodology across five weighted factors.
No paid placements. Products are featured based on editorial merit, not commission rates. A product with a higher affiliate commission receives no preferential treatment.
No paid badges. The TrueComb Select designation is earned through our editorial criteria — labeling transparency, clear sourcing, and quality disclosures. It cannot be purchased.
Equal commission rates. Amazon affiliate commission rates are standardized by product category, not by individual brand. We have no financial incentive to recommend one honey brand over another within the same category.
Our full editorial methodology, scoring rubric, and independence policy are published on our Editorial Standards page.
