Honest reviews of online programs, before you pay
Online courses and guides are easy to buy and hard to judge from a sales video. We read the fine print, check the price and the refund terms at checkout, and tell you plainly who a product is for and who should skip it.
We are an independent review site, not the seller of any product. Some links earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. Details
How we review, in 3 steps
1. We read everything the seller publishes
The sales page, the terms, the refund policy, the FAQ and the small print at the bottom. We note who actually sells the product, what is included, and what the seller promises.
2. We check what can be checked
The real price and any upsells, the length and conditions of the refund window, whether the author's name and credentials can be confirmed, and what independent sources say about the main claims. When we have bought and used a product ourselves, we say so. When we haven't, we say that too.
3. We write it down plainly
What you get, what it costs in total, the pros and the cons, who it suits, who it doesn't, and how to ask for a refund. We point out claims we could not verify instead of repeating them.

What you won't find here
- Fake "official site" pages. We are never the official site of a product.
- Invented discounts, countdown timers or "today only" prices.
- Made-up experts, pen names or stock photos posing as our team.
- Promises that a product will work for you. Results vary, and we say so.
