Copyright and reuse
Quote us, link to us, share our guides. What we ask is credit and a link — and a yes from us before anyone republishes our work as a whole.
What is ours
The buying guides, comparisons, product write-ups, price records, Deal Meter scores, charts and cover illustrations on realdealmeter.com are written and made by the Real Deal Meter team. © 2026 Real Deal Meter. All rights reserved, except for the uses this page allows.
What you can do without asking
- Quote a short passage — up to about 100 words from any one page — in a review, an article, a forum or social post or a class paper, crediting Real Deal Meter and linking to the page it came from.
- Link to any page, and share it with the title and picture it shows in a link card.
- Print or save a page for your own use.
When you copy text from a page here, your paste ends with a line naming that page. Keep it and you have given the credit this page asks for.
What needs our written permission
- Republishing a whole guide or comparison, or most of one — on a website, in an app, a newsletter, a video script, a store listing or in print.
- Translating or rewording a guide and publishing it as new work.
- Copying our price records, Deal Meter scores or tables in bulk, or collecting our pages by automated means beyond what our robots.txt allows.
- Using our name, the Deal Meter or our logo in a way that suggests we endorse you or what you sell.
Write to help@realdealmeter.com with what you would like to use and where.
What is not ours to give
- Product photos belong to the stores and brands that supplied them. We show them as supplied, under those stores’ terms; ask them.
- Brand names, product names and logos belong to their owners.
- The words we quote from our sources are theirs, and each is linked where we use it.
