Frequently asked

Questions, answered

Everything you might want to know about how we review, how we make money, and how to reach us.

Are your reviews really independent?
Yes. We never accept payment for a review, a ranking, or a positive verdict. Some links are affiliate links that may earn us a commission, but they never influence our scores or which tools we recommend.
How do you test each tool?
We sign up and use every tool on real projects, then score it on value, ease of use, features, and support using one consistent framework — so every review stays comparable.
Do the tools you review pay you?
We may earn an affiliate commission when you buy through some of our links, at no extra cost to you. That revenue keeps the site running — it never buys a better review.
How often are reviews updated?
Pricing and features change often, so we re-check our reviews and refresh verdicts over time. Each review reflects the most recent hands-on testing we have done.
Who writes the reviews?
Every review is written by Aqib Khushk, founder and lead reviewer, who personally tests the tools and replies to reader questions within 48 hours.
Can I suggest a tool to review?
Absolutely. Email info@toolgrowth.com with the tool you would like us to test and we will add it to our review queue.
