Work With H View
We do not sell advertorials or paid opinions. Instead, suggest your product, app or service, and if it fits our readers we will test it and publish an honest, independent review.
In short
- Suggest, don’t payTell us about your product. Reviews cannot be bought.
- Real testingWe use it in everyday situations and score it with our Review Method.
- Honest verdictStrengths and limits are both published. You do not approve the story.
- Clearly disclosedReview units and access are always mentioned in the article.
1Why reviews instead of ads
Readers come to H View to decide what is worth their time and money. A paid advertorial would break that trust. An honest review does the opposite: if your product is good, an independent verdict is far more convincing than an ad. That is why we only offer editorial review consideration, never paid coverage.
2What we review
- Gadgets and technologyPhones, laptops, audio, wearables and home tech.
- AI tools and softwareApps, AI assistants, SaaS and productivity tools.
- Online servicesLearning platforms, finance apps, subscriptions and marketplaces.
- Business toolsTools for small businesses, creators and teams.
- Lifestyle and experiencesProducts and experiences that matter in everyday Indian life.
We give priority to products that are available in India and useful to a broad group of readers.
3How it works
- Suggest your product through our contact form with the details listed below.
- We check the fit with our readers and our current coverage, and reply whether we will review it.
- You share access: a review unit, a trial or test account, and a contact for technical questions.
- We test it in real situations over enough time to see beyond the first impression.
- We publish a full review with an H View Score, pros, cons and who it suits, with a clear disclosure.
- We keep it current and update the review when the product, price or policies change.
4What we promise, and what we never do
| We always | We never |
|---|---|
| Test fairly, using our published Review Method | Accept payment for a review, score or ranking |
| Publish strengths and limitations honestly | Let a brand approve or edit a story before publication |
| Disclose review units, trials and partnerships | Guarantee positive coverage or a minimum score |
| Correct factual errors you point out | Remove fair criticism because a brand asks |
| Explain who the product is right for | Sell links, hidden ads or “dofollow” backlinks |
If a product does not meet our standards, we may publish an honest review or decide not to cover it. Either way, the decision is editorial.
5What to include in your suggestion
- Product name, a short description and who it is for
- Price in India and where people can buy or sign up
- Launch date, and any embargo date we should respect
- What you can provide: a review unit, trial length or a test account
- A contact person for technical questions
Physical review units are returned on request at the brand’s cost, or kept for long-term testing and updates. We say which in the review.
6Other ways to work together
- Expert input: founders and specialists can offer expert comments for our explainers, credited by name.
- Corrections: if an existing story about your product has a factual error, use the corrections form.
- Writing for H View: see the writing option on our contact page.
Frequently asked questions
Can we pay for a review on H View?
No. Reviews cannot be bought. You can suggest a product, and if it fits our readers we review it independently.
Will you show us the review before it is published?
No. To keep reviews independent, brands do not see or approve stories before publication. We will correct any factual error you point out afterwards.
What if our product gets a low score?
The score reflects our testing. We explain the reasons and who the product may still suit, and we update the review if the product improves.
How long does a review take?
It depends on the product. Most reviews take two to four weeks from receiving access, so we can test beyond the first impression.
Do you sell sponsored posts or backlinks?
No. We do not sell sponsored posts, advertorials or links.
Tell us what it is and who it is for. We reply to every suggestion that fits our readers.
