## Summary

Independence: how wavesocial.net chooses its picks, why rankings cannot be bought and how the editorial team is funded.

**Editorial** · Updated November 2026· Editorial ratings

## Independence

How WaveSocial keeps rankings independent.

WaveSocial rankings come from our own review process: dated prices from each provider’s site, the features they publish, and the five criteria in [how we test](https://wavesocial.net/how-we-test/). Raidpop ranks #1 and FollowersPanda #2 on those results.

## Not for sale

No brand can pay for a review, a score, a rank or a label such as Editor’s Choice.

## Brand partners

Brands can buy a partner listing that appears only on our [partner page](https://wavesocial.net/partner/), never inside reviews or rankings. Some outbound links may be commercial.
