Editorial policy
The standards that govern everything we publish — from tool reviews to blog posts and AI-generated answers.
Core principles
Independence
Our reviews, ratings, and recommendations are written by the AskZyro editorial team. No advertiser, partner, or affiliate relationship can override our editorial judgment or change a verdict.
Transparency
We disclose affiliate relationships on every page where they exist. We label sponsored content clearly. We date-stamp our reviews and pricing checks so you know how fresh the information is.
Evidence over opinion
We prefer to test products directly. When we can't, we cite the source and say so. We don't present marketing claims as facts.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it and note the correction at the bottom of the page. We don't silently rewrite history.
No pay-for-placement
Tools cannot pay to appear in our Discover directory, to receive an AskZyro Pick badge, or to move up in our rankings. Featured Partner badges are clearly labelled and do not affect the review score.

- Copy provider copy without assessment
- Hide pricing changes or errors
- Sell ranking positions in Discover
Sponsored content & Featured Partners
Some tools in our Discover directory may be marked as Featured Partner. This means we have a commercial relationship with the provider. Featured Partners appear in the directory and may receive prominent placement, but the badge does not affect the review score, the verdict, or the pros and cons.
The AskZyro Pick badge is awarded by the editorial team based solely on product quality and cannot be purchased.
AI-generated answers
AskZyro is an AI answer engine. Our conversational answers are generated by AI and may contain errors. We provide source links wherever possible so you can verify information independently. Tool reviews and editorial articles on Discover are written by humans and follow the standards above.
