Editorial Guidelines
How SaveIQ researches products, checks prices and writes its guides — and the rules that keep them independent.
Last updated: September 18, 2026
What we publish
SaveIQ publishes buying guides, comparisons and price-history analysis to help shoppers in Canada decide whether, what and when to buy. Our job is to explain the trade-offs clearly, not to push a purchase.
Independence
- Retailers, brands and affiliate networks do not pay for placement, rankings or verdicts, and they do not review or edit our content before it is published.
- Our Buy / Wait / Fair verdicts come from a fixed set of rules that use price and price history as inputs. Commission rates are not an input, so a higher commission cannot produce a better verdict.
- We may earn a commission when you buy through a link on this site. That relationship is explained in full on our Affiliate Disclosure page.
How we research
We do not lab-test products or receive products for review, and we do not present research as hands-on experience. Our guides and verdicts are built from:
- Specifications and features published by the manufacturer or the retailer.
- The price history we record at Canadian retailers, including the 90-day high and low.
- Independent measurements and test results from third parties, which we name whenever we rely on them.
When we are unsure of something, or a figure comes from a single source, we say so rather than smoothing it over.
How we handle prices
- A price is a snapshot from the date shown. Always confirm the current price at the retailer before you buy.
- No invented “was” prices, no fake discount percentages, no countdown timers and no fake stock scarcity.
What we do not do
- We do not list coupon codes, vouchers or cashback offers.
- We do not publish sponsored content presented as independent advice.
- We do not sell, ship or take payment for products. Every purchase happens on the retailer's own site under its own terms.
Financial topics
- We compare fees and terms that companies publish, and we cite the official page and the date we checked it.
- We only feature crypto platforms that appear on the Canadian Securities Administrators' list of platforms authorized to do business with Canadians.
- We do not tell readers to buy, sell or hold any asset, and our content is not financial, investment, tax or legal advice. See the risk warning in our Affiliate Disclosure.
