Our product comparisons give you the facts you need to make better decisions for your financial future.
Comparing products individually from providers is time consuming, and it can be confusing when each one highlights a different feature. We directly compare the best products side-by-side against the same criteria to give you all of the information you need in one place.

Education is the first step to making smart financial decisions.
Our aim is to answer your toughest questions and prepare you to take control of your financial future.
Our authors have years of experience researching and writing content for a wide range of finance products. Topics covered range from understanding your credit score to learning how much difference 1% can make over a 30 year mortgage.
Our method of evaluating products is simple, but effective: compare apples-to-apples.
We inspect each product from the consumer’s point of view and highlight the elements that matter most to you. We do like for like comparisons. While the topics we look at change depending on the category, the variables we compare are the same across all providers in that category.
Our expert writers compile the most important information on each product and present it to you in the cleanest possible format. By breaking down the jargon and the fine print, we make it easy to compare products side-by-side to find the best option for you.
We value your trust. We will always provide you with the facts and our honest opinions fueled by research. We aren’t swayed by sponsored products, and our editorial team does not receive direct compensation from our advertisers. Learn more about the LA Times Compare editorial policy here

This may affect which products we write about as well as where and how product offers appear on our website – such as the order in which they appear. This does not affect our ability to offer unbiased reviews and information about these products and all partner offers are clearly marked. Given our collaboration with top providers, it’s important to note that our partners are not involved in deciding the order in which brands and products appear.
