About LedgerLine

Peer-reviewed and regulator-checked. Always.

LedgerLine is an independent publication about AI personal-finance tools. We are not owned by, affiliated with, or paid by any tool we cover, and we never sell rankings.

Why we exist

Money topics are different from other content: getting them wrong hurts people. That is why every page follows a stricter rule — financial claims must come from regulators, academic research or official disclosures, never from vendor marketing.

One rule governs everything we publish: if a claim can't be traced to a named source — a vendor's pricing page, a regulator's guidance, or a reputable study — it doesn't get published.

How we review

  • Hands-on testing. We create accounts, read the fee schedules and disclosures, and compare the same tasks across every tool we cover.
  • Source hierarchy. Tier 1: SEC, FINRA and CFPB materials, academic finance research, and official fund documents. Tier 2: vendor pricing pages and Form ADV filings, each with an "as of" date. Tier 3: reputable press, for background only.
  • Expert review. Every guide is reviewed by a registered investment professional before publication, against the primary literature.
  • Corrections. We fix errors, note them on the page, and you can report one any time.
