Become a Criticker Sponsor
Criticker is run by an extremely small team, without any investment or corporate funding. This independence allows us to deliver unbiased recommendations, but means we rely on our users for support.
For just $5 a month, you can become a Criticker Sponsor. You'll enjoy an ads-free version of the site, as well gain access to a slate of statistics and special features made available only to sponsors. Check out all the ways that being a sponsor will make your Criticker experience even better!
Core Benefits
Ads-free Criticker
Although we depend upon advertising for a living, Sponsors can enjoy Critiker without any ads at all, enhancing the overall experience of using the site.
Daily PSI and TCI regenerations
Every single day, we'll rebuild all your Taste Compability Indexes as well as your Probable Score Indicators, so your recommendations will never get stale! If there's a new user at Criticker who matches your taste, we'll find them for you quick! Calculating the TCI for every user in Criticker is resource-heavy, which is why we only offer it to sponsors.
Top 2000 TCIs stored instead of 1000
By doubling the number of TCIs stored for sponsors, it's much more likely that we'll be able to generate predictions for even most obscure titles!
More Similar and Trending Titles
Sponsors get automatic access to the full list of titles which are most similar to the one in question. Not just that, but they can browse the list of 100 top trending titles, while non-sponsors can only see the top 20.
Extra Title-Specific Charts
On every title page, we show a set of charts which reflect real-time rating trends. While everyone has access to the first few charts, only Sponsors can see all of them. Exclusive sponsor-only charts on the Title Information Page include...
Average percentile over time
Has popular opinion of this title changed over time? How highly was it rated when it was first released, and how does that compare to now?
Ratings from your top TCIs
A scatter chart showing how your top users rated the title in question
Ratings grouped by TCI
How do your top 100 and top 1000 TCIs compare to the population at large? Do they like title more or less than those you don't match well with?
But wait... that's not all!
Additionally, Criticker Sponsors have access to a whole suite of features and charts that are totally inaccessible to regular members.
Sample Charts
One-Time TCI & PSI Regeneration
For just $1.50, we also offer the chance to immediately regenerate your TCIs against every user in our database, as well as PSIs against every title. These aren't calculations which we can constantly keep up-to-date for everyone, all of the time, but you can request this one-time update. Please note, this does not give you access to the other sponsor features, such as statistics or the ads-free version of the site.
Criticker is a labor of love, run by an extremely small team without any corporate funding or investment. Your sponsorship helps support the ongoing maintenance of the site, as well as fund new features and improvements. And put food on our plates. If you like what we've built here, please consider supporting Criticker!
