How we earn money

Through the shops,
never through the score.

padell.io is free. Here is exactly where the money comes from, and what it can never change.

How it works

  1. 1You click through to a shop

    From a price on a racket page, a list or the price comparison.

  2. 2You buy something there

    At the shop's own price. You pay nothing extra because you came from us.

  3. 3The shop may pay us a commission

    Usually a few percent of the order, and only from shops that have a partner programme.

Where we are now

We have just started. Right now the shop links earn us nothing yet: we are applying to the partner programmes of the shops we track. Until then padell.io costs us money, and that is fine.

What money never changes

The score

Worked out from the brand's specs and independent reviews, the same way for every racket. A shop link plays no part in it.

The order of a list

Top lists and the racket finder rank on score and fit. A racket without any shop link ranks the same.

Which shops you see

Every shop we track that delivers to your country, cheapest first including shipping. Also shops that pay us nothing.

What we write

No paid reviews, no sponsored texts. Brands cannot buy a place or a better word.

Questions

Do I pay more when I buy through padell.io?

No. You pay the price the shop shows everyone. The commission comes out of the shop's margin.

Why do shop links say sponsored in the code?

Search engines ask sites to mark links that can earn money. We mark every shop link that way, also the ones that earn nothing, so nothing is hidden.

Can a brand pay to be on padell.io?

No. Brands can send us specs, a feed or product photos, which helps us be complete. That never buys a score or a place in a list.

Why not just show ads?

Ads get in the way of the thing you came for. A shop link is something you were going to click anyway, and it only pays when you actually buy.
