Methodology and Editorial Standards

Last verified: May 18, 2026

This page documents how GodelGuide tests Godel Terminal and competing platforms, how often we update our reviews, how we disclose affiliate relationships, and how readers can flag factual errors.

Affiliate disclosure. GodelGuide earns a commission when readers subscribe to Godel Terminal through our affiliate links. Pricing is identical with or without our links. Full disclosure below.

Who we are

GodelGuide is an independent editorial resource covering Godel Terminal, the financial terminal built by DL Software Inc. We are not affiliated with DL Software or any competing platform.

The site is published by the GodelGuide editorial team. We hold an active Pro subscription to Godel Terminal which we pay for monthly out of pocket. Our experience with financial terminals spans multiple years and includes Bloomberg Terminal, the legacy Refinitiv platforms now consolidated under LSEG Workspace, and most of the under-$200 per month tier of competing products. Every claim we make about Godel Terminal on this site is grounded in hands-on use of the live product, not vendor documentation or third-party summaries.

We disclose our affiliate relationship plainly. GodelGuide participates in Godel Terminal’s official Rewardful referral program under code GUIDE. We earn a 20% recurring commission on subscriptions that begin through our links. The price you pay is identical whether you use our links or not. Godel sets the price; we do not mark it up.

How we test

What we do.

  • All product reviews and comparisons on this site are based on hands-on use of the product under review, not third-party summaries or compiled review aggregations.
  • We verify pricing directly on each vendor’s own site before publication and re-verify weekly on Mondays, which is Godel Terminal’s regular release day.
  • We test commands, features, and workflows against the live product. Documentation alone is not sufficient.
  • Screenshots come from our own active subscription, not from the vendor’s marketing site.
  • Competitor information used in comparison pages is pulled from each competitor’s own current public materials, supplemented by hands-on use where we have an active subscription.

What we do not do.

  • We do not fabricate testimonials, quotes, or case studies.
  • We do not claim hands-on testing we have not performed.
  • We do not publish reviews based solely on press releases or marketing copy.
  • We do not accept payment for review placement or for revised verdicts. The affiliate commission we earn on referred subscriptions does not depend on the content or conclusions of any review.

When we are unable to test a specific claim or competing product directly, we say so in the review.

Update cadence

Every page on this site carries a “Last verified” date near the byline. That date reflects the most recent point at which the page was checked against the live product and against current vendor pricing.

  • Pricing and active commands are re-verified every Monday, which is Godel Terminal’s regular release day.
  • Every review and comparison page receives a full re-read at minimum every 90 days, and more often when the underlying product changes materially.
  • Stale facts reported to us are patched within 24 hours of confirmation.
  • Retired features and broken commands are removed from active pages promptly rather than left as dead references.

Readers can report a factual error through our contact form. We respond to every report.

Affiliate disclosure

GodelGuide earns a commission when a reader subscribes to Godel Terminal through one of our affiliate links. Every page that contains affiliate links carries an FTC-compliant disclosure near the top.

Pricing is identical with or without our links. Godel Terminal sets its own subscription prices; we do not mark them up, and using our link does not change what you pay.

A note on discount codes. Every promotional code for Godel Terminal currently circulating on the internet routes through the same Rewardful affiliate program. GUIDE, NEWUSER, GET30, SHKRELI, TAKE30, and the others all deliver the same 30% off the first month at the time of writing. We use GUIDE because we maintain GodelGuide.

Corrections and complaints

Anyone can flag a factual error on any page. We patch confirmed errors within 24 hours and note the correction at the bottom of the affected page, including the date and a brief description of what changed. We do not silently revise published material. To report an error or send any other feedback, use our contact form.

What we do not cover

GodelGuide is not investment advice. We do not recommend specific securities, trades, portfolios, strategies, or position sizes. We do not hold a view on whether you should be trading at all. We cover one product category — financial terminals, primarily Godel Terminal — and we cover it as well as we can.
