Disclosure

This page sets out every commercial interest that could affect what we publish.

The conflict, stated plainly

We make one of the products being compared. Pages such as vs Vocaroo, vs Audacity and best free online voice recorders are written by a party with an interest in one outcome. Read them with that in mind, exactly as you would a comparison published by any other vendor.

How we try to handle it honestly:

• We name cases where competitors are better. Vocaroo's shareable links are genuinely more useful for sharing. Audacity is unambiguously more capable. Apple Voice Memos records in the background, which a browser tab cannot.
• We describe our own limitations on the same pages rather than burying them — no sharing links, no recovery, no background recording, memory-bound length.
• We tell you how to verify claims yourself rather than asking you to trust us, including the Network-tab check that works on any recorder, this one included.
• We do not claim competitors are unsafe. Uploading is a legitimate design choice that buys real features. It is a trade-off, not a flaw.

This does not remove the bias. It only makes it visible.

How the site makes money

Running costs are low precisely because no audio is stored or processed on a server. Currently the site is funded by its operator, with no external revenue.

If this changes, this page changes first. Should we ever add advertising, affiliate links or sponsored content, it will be disclosed here and labelled clearly on the pages affected, before it goes live rather than after.

How comparison pages are researched

• Competitor features are checked against the product itself or its official documentation, not against other people's reviews.
• Where a claim concerns data handling, we describe what can be observed — whether a network request carries audio — rather than characterising a company's intentions.
• Pages carry a note in the source instructing that competitor facts be re-verified before launch and periodically after, because products change without notice.
• We do not accept payment, free accounts, review units or any other consideration in exchange for coverage.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Vocaroo, Audacity, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Mozilla or any other product named on this site. Product names and trade marks belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only.

Editorial independence

No third party reviews or approves content before publication. Nobody outside the site has ever been given the ability to change, add or remove a page.

Corrections

If a comparison is wrong or has become wrong, tell us and we will fix it. That applies equally to competitors: if you make a product we describe inaccurately, get in touch and we will correct the page.
