Extras they sell
- Sponsored/promoted roundup and gift guide placements

- Partner Offer deal consideration
- An advertiser may pay to have a deal considered. PCMag experts independently decide whether the product and value meet their standards before covering it. No rate is published.
- Made Possible By sponsorship
- Partners can support editorial production across broad topics or categories. PCMag says partners have no editorial control or pre-publication approval and cannot require product inclusion. No rate is published.
- Brand X paid/branded content
