Monetization policy
How Kefiw Makes Money
Useful first. Monetized second.
Kefiw may earn money from affiliate links, partnerships, ads, sponsored placements, or software referrals. Calculator results are not changed based on affiliate relationships.
The rule
Help first. Recommend second. Disclose always.
- Sponsored or affiliate recommendations should be disclosed near the recommendation, not hidden in a footer.
- Kefiw does not publish fake reviews, fake ratings, or invented testimonials.
- Kefiw may recommend categories of tools before recommending specific products.
- High-risk tax, payroll, worker-classification, cloud, SaaS, and AI pricing pages use source verification and visible assumptions.
