How We Get Paid
How Inventory Ready makes money, and what money does not change.
Our Revenue Model
Right now, every listing is free. No vendor has paid for extra visibility. Our method sets out how deeply each listing is reviewed.
We may later offer enhanced profiles with extra visibility features. If we do, they will be clearly marked, the assessment method will stay identical for free and paid listings, and we will update this page.
Promotional banners on this site
You may see promotional banners on vendor pages, category pages, and content pages. These are house ads. Inventory Ready promotes its own services through them: RFQ matching through /get-matched, free tools like the Cost Estimator and Readiness Quiz. Every banner is visually separate from editorial content.
No manufacturer has ever paid for a banner placement, and no external advertiser appears anywhere on this site. If that changes, we will:
- Update this page before any paid banner runs.
- Disclose it visibly on the paid banner and on each affected vendor’s profile.
- Keep the assessment method identical for free and paid vendors.
What Money Does Not Affect
- Assessment method and criteria: the same review, and the same bar for independent confirmation, recency, and sourcing, apply to every manufacturer, free or paid
- Limitations disclosure: paid manufacturers keep the same "What We Couldn't Verify" section, and the same link to the limits that apply to every listing
- Listing removal: if a manufacturer no longer meets our standards, the listing comes down regardless of payment status
Disclosure in Practice
If a manufacturer has any business relationship with Inventory Ready beyond a free listing, you'll see it on their profile, above the review. No footnotes, no fine print.
