Database / Affiliate disclosure
Affiliate disclosure
RobotMatchup may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through links on this site. This does not affect the price you pay, and commission relationships do not influence rankings, which are derived from manufacturer-published data.

What this means in practice
Some outbound links to manufacturers and retailers are affiliate links. If you follow one and buy something, the seller may pay RobotMatchup a small percentage of the sale. You pay exactly the same price you would have paid arriving there directly — affiliate commission is taken out of the seller's margin, never added to your total.
As an Amazon Associate, RobotMatchup earns from qualifying purchases. We also participate in other affiliate programmes and networks operated by manufacturers and retailers of home robots.
Why it does not affect what you read
Which models appear in the database is decided by whether they are real, currently relevant products with manufacturer-published specifications — not by whether a commission exists. Plenty of models here have no affiliate link at all, including discontinued ones and models sold only direct.
Ordering in buying guides is produced arithmetically from published specifications, and each guide states the metrics it ranked on. Commission rate is not one of them and never will be. Comparison tables highlight the better published figure per attribute, which is a calculation, not an opinion we can be paid to change. The full mechanics are in the methodology.
Sponsorship and paid placement
There is none. No manufacturer has paid for inclusion, position, wording or a favourable figure, and no listing here is sponsored content. If that ever changes, it will be labelled on the page it appears on, not buried here.
How affiliate links are labelled
Outbound commercial links are marked where they appear, and this disclosure line sits in the footer of every page on the site. Clicking an affiliate link lets the retailer set a tracking cookie in your browser — that is covered in the privacy policy.
Questions
Ask directly: contact@robotmatchup.com. If you would rather not use an affiliate link, search the product name at the retailer instead — the data on this site is identical either way.
