Fastest Way to Reach Us

For most questions, the form above is the quickest way to get a response — it routes directly to our team without getting lost in a shared inbox. If you'd rather email directly, our address is listed below the form as well.

Report a Correction

Online learning platforms change pricing, catalogs, and certificate programs often enough that something on this site can go stale between our scheduled re-tests. If you've spotted a price, feature, or certificate claim that no longer matches what a platform actually offers, tell us exactly which page and what changed — correction requests are usually the fastest category of message for us to verify and fix, often within a few days.

Partnership & Advertising Inquiries

We hear from platforms interested in advertising, sponsorships, or affiliate partnerships fairly regularly. If that's why you're reaching out, please include the platform name, what kind of partnership you're proposing, and any relevant traffic or audience data — it helps us respond with a useful answer faster. As covered on our Disclosure page, any commercial relationship never influences how a platform is scored or reviewed, so don't expect a partnership conversation to affect an existing review.

Press & Research Inquiries

Journalists, researchers, and students working on projects related to online education sometimes reach out for data, quotes, or interviews. We're generally happy to help — mention your deadline and specifically what you're looking for, and we'll do our best to accommodate it.

"Which Platform Should I Choose?" Questions

We get a lot of messages asking us to recommend a specific platform for a specific situation, and we genuinely enjoy answering these when we can. To get a useful answer quickly, tell us your goal (a certificate for career advancement, casual learning, an academic credit-bearing course, learning to code from scratch), your rough budget, and how much time you can realistically commit weekly. That said, our Best Online Courses topic pages and Compare tool are built to answer exactly this kind of question without waiting on an email reply, so it's often faster to start there.

What to Include in Your Message

Whatever the reason for reaching out, including specifics helps us respond faster and more usefully: the exact page URL if you're flagging an error, the platform names involved if you're asking for a comparison or reporting an issue, and enough context that we don't have to reply asking clarifying questions before we can actually help.

Before You Send That Message

Many common questions are already answered somewhere on the site — our Methodology page explains exactly how scores are calculated, our Disclosure page covers how affiliate relationships work, and the FAQ section on our homepage and on individual Best Online Courses pages answers the most frequent platform-selection questions. Checking there first can often get you an answer faster than waiting for a reply.

What Happens to What You Send Us

Messages submitted through the contact form are used only to respond to your inquiry — we don't add you to a marketing list or share your message with the platforms we review. If your message specifically concerns a correction about a particular platform, we may reference the substance of the correction (not your personal details) when following up with that platform to verify the claim.

Response Times

We aim to respond to most messages within a few business days. Correction requests tend to be fastest since they usually only require a quick verification step; partnership and press inquiries may take slightly longer since they often need more than one person's input before we can give you a useful answer.

If Something Actually Helped You

We also genuinely like hearing when a review or comparison on this site helped someone make a good decision — it's not required, but it's one of the more motivating kinds of message we get, and it does inform which topics and platforms we prioritize testing next.
