Revenue model

1. Affiliate Commissions: The company earns affiliate commissions when users click through to streaming service providers or purchase streaming devices through tracked links. This includes participation in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program where fees are earned by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.

2. Provider Compensation: CordCutting.com is compensated by certain providers listed on the site for featured placement and referrals. The company states this compensation never influences editorial reviews, rankings, or recommendations.

Core offering

CordCutting.com publishes free editorial content — reviews, how-to guides, buying recommendations, and consumer research — covering streaming services, streaming devices, and internet access, aimed at consumers who want to replace traditional cable or satellite TV. The site monetizes through affiliate commissions on streaming subscriptions and device purchases, plus compensation from providers for featured placement, rather than selling a product or subscription directly to readers.

Product overview

CordCutting.com is an editorial content platform (not a SaaS product) that provides free cord-cutting resources including streaming service reviews, streaming device reviews and buying guides, how-to-watch content for specific events and shows, entertainment recommendations, and consumer research. The platform is operated by Centerfield Media and generates revenue through affiliate partnerships and advertising. It covers major streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, Sling TV, Philo, DIRECTV, fuboTV) and streaming devices (Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Tablo). The company does not sell a software product but rather publishes editorial content to help consumers make decisions about streaming services and devices.

Broad incumbents

• CNET: One of the largest tech and entertainment review sites, with extensive streaming service and device coverage. Overlaps directly with CordCutting.com's editorial categories and SEO targets.
• Wirecutter: NYT-owned product review site covering streaming devices and services. Highly comparable editorial methodology and affiliate monetization, with vastly superior brand authority.
• The Verge: Major digital media publisher covering streaming entertainment, devices, and tech. Competes for the same consumer audience and ad/affiliate dollars through editorial coverage.
• PCMag: Established technology publisher covering streaming hardware, services, and internet providers. Comparable content scope and affiliate-driven business model, with much larger reach.
• Tom's Guide: Major tech publisher covering streaming devices, services, VPNs, and broadband. Significantly larger editorial team, but directly competes for the same cord-cutting keywords and affiliate commissions.

Direct peers

• Streamable: Streaming-focused publication covering streaming services, live TV alternatives, and cord-cutting guides with affiliate-driven monetization. Closely comparable audience and editorial scope.
• Flixed: A cord-cutting focused review and comparison site that earns affiliate commissions from streaming services and devices. Directly comparable in niche focus, content format, and revenue model.
• ChooseTV: Compares streaming and live TV services for cord-cutters via affiliate referrals. Mirrors CordCutting.com's content-led, affiliate-monetized approach to the same consumer segment.

Regional players

• Cord Cutter Weekly (The Washington Post): Washington Post's streaming and cord-cutting newsletter and coverage. Competes in the same niche within a U.S. consumer audience but operates under a major news brand.

Emerging players

• CordKiller: Smaller cord-cutting resource site providing streaming comparisons and reviews. Niche competitor with similar affiliate-driven editorial model but lower brand recognition.
