Editorial & disclosure policy

How Kodbe decides what to publish, how we stay independent, and how we handle sensitive topics.

Get started: See our affiliate disclosure

In plain English

We publish practical, honest, day-2 guidance. Our recommendations are never bought, we cite sources instead of inventing tests, and we treat security, payments, and legal topics with extra care and clear "hire a pro" thresholds.

Independence and the editorial firewall

Kodbe owns no tool, host, or platform. When we recommend something, it is because it genuinely fits the reader, and we are just as willing to recommend skipping a tool or hiring a professional.

Money never buys a verdict. Kodbe carries no affiliate links or sponsorship today; if that changes, they will never change our assessments, and sponsored content will be clearly labeled.

Accuracy and sourcing

  • Tool facts come from official documentation and changelogs; we label our method as documentation review and do not invent hands-on testing, benchmarks, ratings, or prices.
  • We do not publish fake testimonials, case studies, awards, or metrics.
  • Tool comparisons and ratings carry a last-reviewed date, and we correct errors and note the update when we find them.

AI-assisted writing and human review

  • AI tools may help us draft, but a person reviews every page for accuracy, tone, and safety.
  • Security, payments, privacy, and other high-stakes topics stay within current official documentation, make no case-specific promises, and tell you when to hire a professional.

How we handle security content — Security guidance is detection-first. We help you find and reduce risk; we do not publish working exploits or unsafe shortcuts, and we always point to a professional for anything involving payments, logins, or personal data.

Educational, not professional advice — Our content is general education. It is not legal, security, financial, or other professional advice for your specific situation. Verify specifics with a qualified professional.

Policy FAQ

No. A recommendation is never determined by payout. If a tool is not a good fit, we say so, affiliate or not.

Do you test products hands-on?

We review official documentation and changelogs and label our method accordingly. We do not fabricate testing or benchmarks.

How current is your content?

Tool comparisons and ratings carry a last-reviewed date. Tool facts and security guidance change, so treat any date as a prompt to check the current documentation yourself.

Can I trust the security guidance?

It is written to be conservative and detection-first, with clear "hire a pro" thresholds on sensitive topics. It is education, not a guarantee.

How do I report an error?

Contact us with the page and the issue. We investigate, correct, and date the update.
