By tobyAt Cordcutting.com, we believe that everyone should have free access to cord cutting resources. So our experts are constantly researching new technology and sharing the latest news, tips, and trends in the industry. We see it as a privilege and great responsibility to keep our readers informed. That’s why we adhere to strict editorial guidelines in all that we do. These guidelines are buttressed by our fact-based, objective, and unbiased reporting.
Our Approach
The rich resources we create are the result of hands-on testing of products and services, countless hours of research, and a deep-dive into industry data and trends. We then publish helpful how-to guides, product breakdowns, industry reports, buying guides, news briefs, and more. It’s all centered on new and exciting ways to cut the cord, and it’s communicated in a way that engages and inspires our readers.
We are not beholden to outside interests. In fact, we only cover topics that we believe will help our growing online community find real solutions and enhance their cord-cutting journey. With this in mind, the research we conduct and the resources we create put people on the path to a more enjoyable and affordable experience. Our mission is to help folks snip the cord in a way that makes sense for their budget and lifestyle.

Our Code of Ethics
Some people might think it’s trivial for a cord-cutting company to follow a code of ethics. But considering the digital age we live in, we believe it’s now more important than ever to espouse strong ethical principles. After all, we routinely give advice and make recommendations on which products/services are worth purchasing, and which options to overlook as inferior. If we wish to continue on with a clear conscience (and we do), we must remain committed to the following code of ethics.
Our 6 Guiding Ethics:
- Honesty
- Transparency
- Accuracy
- Reliability
- Trustworthiness
- Authoritativeness

But we also aim to help folks explore their options so that they can make better buying decisions. With this in mind, we go to great lengths to create practical resources and buying guides that are insightful and actionable.
Our team spends countless hours creating specialized tools like our TV Streaming Channel Comparison, price comparison charts, and more. We truly believe this is the future of how people will find and consume home entertainment.

A Free Resource for All
We hold the belief that everyone should have free and unlimited access to our research and resources. So we do not charge readers in any way, shape, or form. Also, in a conscious effort to create a clean and enjoyable user experience, we do not allow any advertisements on our site.
With that said, we must earn revenue if we want to sustainably serve a growing readership well into the future.
Therefore, as explained in our consumer disclosure, we might earn a small affiliate commission when certain links are clicked on or purchased through, and when certain phone numbers are dialed or purchased through. However, this never affects the price you pay. And more importantly, it does not change our editorial approach to the products or services you read about on Cordcutting.com. We would never undermine reader trust by recommending inferior products. Rather, we only favor high-quality solutions that have been shown to improve lives.
