We built InfoShot to make comparison shopping less confusing.
Financial products come with rates, fees, deadlines, exceptions and advertising claims that are easy to skim past. We check the details, show where the information came from, and build calculators around the questions people are actually trying to answer.
The product is InfoShot. The operator is on the record.
InfoShot publishes source-checked comparisons and calculators for consumer money decisions.
A comparison row is withheld when required facts cannot be supported. Compensation does not determine rank.
InfoShot is operated by Blackcore Media, LLC.
How we compare products
The rules behind our comparisons, rankings, and calculators.
How we make money
When InfoShot may earn a commission and what that can — and cannot — influence.
Corrections
How we handle errors, outdated information, conflicting sources, and reader reports.
Privacy
What we measure on the site and the information we choose not to collect.
Terms of Use
Permitted use, intellectual-property protections, and other terms for using InfoShot.
A few rules we do not bend.
Check the important facts
Rates, fees, requirements and deadlines should be tied to a source and a recent check before we publish them.
Remove information we cannot confirm
If an important rate or offer can no longer be verified, we would rather take it down than leave an old number in place.
No paid ranking
A commission or advertising relationship cannot buy a better position in an InfoShot comparison.
Show what the calculator assumes
Projections depend on assumptions. We call out the ones that can materially change the result.
Do not pick the convenient source
When reliable sources disagree, we investigate the difference or stop using the disputed fact until it is resolved.
Keep personal inputs limited
Our calculators are designed to work without collecting the kind of sensitive financial information we do not need.
