Supporting membership
Keep the investigations independent
Verdiktum has no advertising and does not track you. Members pay for the servers and the work, and get a seal, their own statistics and our thanks. Everything that is free today stays free.
What money cannot buy here
A verdict, the weight of a rating, points, a level, the order of cases or evidence, or a moderator’s decision. A member’s vote counts exactly as much as it did before they paid.
Payments are not switched on yet. The levels below show what is planned.

A company or a foundation?
Organisations can fund a topic, a school edition or the service as a whole. The funding is always shown openly and never extends to a verdict about the funder. Parties and politicians cannot be funders.
Questions and answers
Does a member’s opinion count for more?
No. How much a rating counts depends only on the work a person has done here. Paying changes nothing in the meter, the verdicts, the order of cases or moderation.
How do I cancel?
On this page, with the button under your membership. It opens Paddle’s customer page, where you cancel in two steps. The membership then lasts until the end of the period you have paid for.
What does a year cost?
The price of 10 months. The amount is charged once a year and the price never rises without your active consent.
Will I get an invoice? Can a company pay?
Yes. Paddle sends an invoice after every payment, and at checkout you can enter a company name and tax number. Paddle also charges and pays the tax due in your country.
