Resourify Editorial Policy

Last updated: August 20, 2026

Resourify helps people discover legitimate discounts, free trials, student offers, promo codes, referral offers, startup programs, credits, and other money-saving opportunities across software, AI tools, developer services, subscriptions, and related products.

Our editorial policy is built around accuracy, transparency, and usefulness. Read more about Our Mission and commitment to independent curation.

1. We Verify Offers Before Publishing

We aim to verify every deal using the most reliable information available. Whenever possible, we rely on:

  • Official brand websites and pricing pages (browse our verified Brands Directory)
  • Official promotion or campaign pages
  • Terms and conditions
  • Student or education program pages (see all Student Discounts)
  • Affiliate dashboards and information provided directly by brands
  • Checkout pages and redemption flows
  • Direct communication with the company

We avoid publishing an offer solely because it appears on another coupon or deals website.

2. We Clearly Explain the Real Cost

A deal should not appear “free” when a payment, paid subscription, credit card, or other purchase is actually required. For truly cardless offers, see our verified No Credit Card Required section.

For example, if a free AI subscription requires purchasing another service first, we make that requirement clear instead of simply describing it as a free offer.

Where relevant, we explain:

  • Whether a payment method is required
  • Whether the offer requires a paid plan
  • Whether a free trial qualifies
  • Renewal pricing after the promotional period
  • Eligibility requirements
  • New-user or existing-user restrictions

3. Regional and Eligibility Restrictions Matter

Many offers are limited by country, student status, account type, institution, payment method, or other eligibility criteria.

We try to clearly label restrictions such as:

US only, India only, selected countries, students only, new users only, or existing subscribers only.

We do not assume that an offer available in one country is available worldwide.

4. Promo Codes Are Reviewed for Their Actual Terms

For coupon and promo-code pages, we aim to identify more than just the code itself.

Where possible, we determine:

  • Which plans the code works with
  • Whether it is for new or existing customers
  • Monthly or annual billing requirements
  • Minimum purchase requirements
  • Discount amount
  • Expiration or usage limits

Codes can be changed or disabled by brands without notice, so we encourage users to verify the final price at checkout.

5. Expired and Changed Deals Are Updated

Deals change frequently. Companies may modify pricing, eligibility, redemption methods, or promotional periods without notice.

When we discover that an offer has changed, we aim to update the page, mark the promotion as expired, or remove inaccurate information where appropriate. Check our Latest Deals feed for recent updates.

We also welcome corrections from our readers and brand partners (you can submit or suggest updates directly).

6. Editorial Decisions Are Independent

Resourify may earn commissions when users purchase or sign up through some links on our website (see our full Affiliate Disclosure).

However, affiliate relationships do not determine whether we consider a deal good, legitimate, or worth featuring.

We may feature offers for which we receive no compensation, and we may choose not to recommend an affiliate offer if we believe its terms are misleading or provide poor value to users.

7. Sponsored Content Is Identified

Brands may occasionally sponsor placements, campaigns, or content on Resourify (learn more on our Business & Brand Partnerships page).

Sponsored relationships do not give advertisers the right to change our factual assessment of an offer. Where appropriate, sponsored or promotional relationships are disclosed to readers.

8. We Prioritize Useful Information Over Marketing Claims

Our goal is not to simply repeat a company's marketing copy.

We try to explain the information users actually need before claiming an offer, including limitations, eligibility rules, exclusions, and important conditions that may otherwise be easy to miss (explore in-depth breakdowns on our blog).

9. Referral Offers Are Disclosed Clearly

When an offer uses a referral program, we aim to explain both sides of the referral.

If Resourify or another referrer receives credits, commission, rewards, or another benefit when someone signs up, that relationship should be disclosed rather than presenting the referral benefit as an ordinary public promotion.

10. Pricing and Savings Can Change

Prices, currencies, taxes, exchange rates, discounts, and subscription terms can vary by country and account.

The price displayed by the provider at checkout should always be considered the final price.

11. Corrections and Reader Feedback

Accuracy is important to us, but deals can change faster than a published page can be updated.

If you find:

  • An expired promotion
  • An incorrect price
  • A promo code that no longer works
  • A changed eligibility requirement
  • A regional restriction we missed
  • Any other factual error

please contact us so we can investigate and update the page.

Our Editorial Principle

A good deal page should tell you not only how much you can save, but exactly what you need to do, who is eligible, what the limitations are, and what happens after the promotion ends.

That principle guides how we research, write, update, and recommend offers on Resourify.
