How Divergent.ie Is Funded
Transparency matters — especially when it comes to health information. Here's exactly how Divergent.ie makes money and how it affects what you see on this site.
Our Revenue Model
Divergent.ie is an independent clinic directory and information resource. We are not a clinic, charity, or government body. We make money in the following ways:
1. Premium Clinic Listings
Every clinic gets a free basic listing on Divergent.ie. Clinics can choose to upgrade to a premium listing for enhanced visibility, including featured placement, verified badges, and detailed profiles. Premium listings are clearly marked. Payment does not influence our editorial content or assessment guides.
2. Lead Referrals
When you use our "Find a Clinic" tools, we may connect you with clinics that match your search criteria. Clinics may pay a referral fee when they receive a qualified enquiry through our platform. We never sell your personal data. We only share the information you voluntarily provide through our forms.
3. Affiliate Links
Some of our guide articles contain affiliate links to products, services, or platforms. If you purchase through these links, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links are always disclosed in the article where they appear.
What This Means for You
Free clinic listings are not ranked lower than paid listings in our directory.
Our assessment guides are written independently and are not influenced by clinic partnerships.
We disclose premium/featured placements wherever they appear.
We do not recommend clinics we haven't verified or that don't meet our listing standards.
Medical disclaimers appear on every page — we are a directory, not a clinical service.
Editorial Independence
Our assessment guides, cost comparisons, and blog content are written independently. Clinics cannot pay to influence the content of our guides. If a clinic is mentioned in a guide article, it's because our editorial team determined it was relevant — not because the clinic paid for inclusion.
