Our Promise
How We Stay Independent
The robotics industry is full of manufacturer-funded “reviews” and pay-for-placement marketplaces. Robotomated exists because buyers deserve better. Here is exactly how we maintain editorial independence.
No pay-for-play. Ever.
No manufacturer has ever paid for a RoboScore, search placement, or favorable review. Every score is earned through our transparent, repeatable methodology. If a manufacturer offered us $1 million to change a score, we would refuse and publish the offer.
No affiliate commissions on purchases.
We do not earn commissions when you buy a robot through our links. Our revenue comes from Pro subscriptions and RoboWork marketplace fees. This means our recommendations are never influenced by which robot pays us more — because none of them pay us.
Public methodology.
Our entire scoring methodology is published at /methodology. You can see exactly how we weight Performance (25%), Reliability (20%), Ease of Use (15%), Intelligence (15%), Value (10%), Ecosystem (8%), Safety (5%), and Design (2%). No black boxes.
Any manufacturer can challenge a score.
If a manufacturer believes their robot's RoboScore is inaccurate, they can submit a formal challenge with supporting data. We will re-evaluate the score using our published methodology and publish the result — whether it goes up, down, or stays the same.
Revenue model transparency.
We make money from: Pro subscriptions ($49/month), Enterprise accounts ($299-$2,499/month), and RoboWork marketplace fees (8-15% of job value). That's it. We will never sacrifice editorial independence for revenue. Our independence is our moat.
