Extras they sell
- Award badge licensing
- Optional paid licensing for using The Verge Reviewed or The Verge Recommends badges across brand channels. A Reviewed badge requires a review published within the last 12 months and a score of at least 6/10. Rates are available by request; licensing does not buy coverage.
