Editorial Guidelines

At PriceChangeNews.com focuses on tracking and reporting price changes across software, SaaS platforms, and digital tools.

These editorial guidelines explain how we create, review, and maintain content you can rely on.

They apply to:

  • Editors and staff writers
  • Contributors and guest authors
  • Sponsored and partner content

1. Our Editorial Approach

Editorial Review

Every article goes through an editorial check before publication. We review for:

  • Accuracy of pricing data and claims
  • Clarity and usefulness
  • Relevance to our audience
  • Legal and ethical considerations

We prioritize getting it right over publishing it fast.

Independence and Fairness

We report price changes as they are not as companies want them to be framed.

That means:

  • No promotional bias in editorial content
  • Clear separation between news, informational articles, and sponsored material.
  • No influence from advertisers or partners on coverage decisions

If a price goes up, we say it. If it drops, we say that too without spin.

Accuracy and Verification

Pricing data is only useful if it’s correct.

We:

  • Verify updates using official sources (company websites, announcements, or direct confirmations)
  • Cross-check details like billing cycles, tiers, and regional differences
  • Ensure headlines accurately reflect the content

Where possible, we include:

  • Source references
  • Effective dates of price changes
  • Context (e.g., previous pricing or historical trends)

If we publish an error, it has to be corrected promptly.

Conflicts of Interest

All our contributors must:

  • Disclose any relationships with companies or products mentioned
  • Avoid financial or personal influence on coverage
  • Refrain from accepting incentives that could affect editorial judgment
  • Any relevant affiliations will be clearly disclosed.

Use of AI and Automation

We don’t allow:

  • Publishing of AI Generated pricing data
  • Misleading AI Generated Images or deepfakes

We reserve the right to reject or remove content that does not meet these standards.

2. Privacy and Responsibility

We do not allow publishing:

  • Private personal data without consent
  • Sensitive information without a clear public interest
  • Content that could cause unnecessary harm
  • Content that involves minors or vulnerable individuals

3. Transparency

We believe readers should know where information comes from.

Our articles clearly indicate:

  • The source of a price change (official announcement, pricing page, or verified report)
  • What is confirmed vs. what may still be evolving
  • Any limitations in the available data

4. User Submitted Price Updates

We welcome pricing updates from customers affected by the pricing changes, but they must meet basic standards.

User submitted content guidelines:

  • Articles must focus strictly on pricing-related updates or changes. Content should be original, high-quality, and not AI-generated.
  • News must be current and based on verifiable primary sources, for example, official company emails announcing a price change, subscription price change in-app notices, or direct links to updated pricing pages.
  • Articles must not include links to gambling sites or any prohibited or restricted content niches.
  • Any pricing clarifications or amendment requests must come from official company website email. Submissions from free email providers (such as Gmail, Yahoo, or ProtonMail) will not be accepted.

We may:

  • Edit submissions for clarity and consistency
  • Request supporting evidence
  • Reject content that doesn’t meet our standards

5. Ethical Standards

Our editorial team follows the following standard publishing ethics:

  • No plagiarism
  • Proper attribution of sources
  • Clear distinction between original reporting, gues posts, clarifications, and sponsord content
