What Is a Conflict of Interest in a Review?

A conflict of interest includes reviews from current or former employees, family members, or reviewers with a financial stake in the vendor’s company and fraudulent reviews.

We check all reviews submitted to ensure that there isn’t a conflict of interest. We do not publish reviews with a conflict of interest.

Clutch defines a conflict of interest as:

• The reviewer currently works for or has worked for the service provider
• The reviewer has a familial tie to the service provider
• The reviewer has a financial stake in the service provider’s company
• The review is fake or fraudulent
