A live hardware publication
Original, useful PC component content on a normally indexed site with a clear editor or owner contact.
Invite-only · first cohort
Keep a hardware article useful after publish day.
Selected hardware publishers receive 12 months of Creator access for one domain after their first Comparator widget is installed.
This is an early-partner program with clear commitments—not a permanent free plan and not free white-label. Read the Program Terms →
Who it is for
A relevant placement matters more than a huge audience.
An existing article with a real use
A review, comparison, buyer guide or value-focused article where a GPU, CPU, SSD, RAM or motherboard widget answers a reader question.
Willingness to ship and learn
You can install one embed within 30 days, keep attribution visible, and share practical feedback from the first placement.
What you receive
Creator tools for one real publishing workflow.
- One-domain Creator license for 12 months
- Your approved affiliate IDs where supported
- Custom colors with “Data by The Comparator” or co-branding
- Live widgets using the latest available dated market snapshot
- Static snapshot exports by request during the pilot
- Share images where the format is available

What we ask
A real install, attribution and useful feedback.
- Install at least one widget in a genuine editorial placement
- Keep “Data by The Comparator” or agreed co-branding visible
- Send implementation and reader-experience feedback
- Allow the public placement to appear in our gallery or a case study
- Keep methodology, freshness and affiliate disclosures intact
- Where editorially natural, consider a link to the methodology or tool
No paid-link condition.
We do not require a dofollow link in exchange for access. Full white-label is not part of the program.
Live example
A decision tool inside the article, not another banner.
Example: US market · USD · New condition · latest available market snapshot. Value Score is a relative estimate based on the selected preset, current dataset and methodology—not an official product rating.

FAQ
Clear boundaries before the first install.
Is this a free Creator plan?
No. It is a limited, named partner program for selected publishers who complete a real installation and participate in feedback and case-study work.
Do I have to give you a dofollow link?
No. We may suggest a methodology or tool link where it genuinely helps the article, but access is never sold as a dofollow-link purchase.
Is white-label included?
No. The widget keeps “Data by The Comparator” or agreed co-branding. White-label is available only through a short written trial, Publisher Pro, or a separate strategic agreement.
Are prices real-time?
No. Widgets use the latest available dated market snapshot. Every price must show when it was checked, and readers should confirm the final price at the retailer.
What happens after 12 months?
Before expiry we review the placement and results together. The publisher can move to a current paid plan, a separately agreed partnership, or the public branded embed terms then in force.
