How Affiliate Commissions Work
We earn a commission when:
- You click an affiliate link on our site
- You sign up for a paid account with the provider
- The provider tracks and credits the referral to us
Commissions are typically paid as:
- One-time payment when you subscribe
- Recurring commission for ongoing subscriptions (more common)
You pay the same price whether you use our link or not. Affiliate commissions do not increase your cost.
Editorial Independence
We maintain strict editorial independence:
- No paid rankings — Tools are ranked by operational fit, not commission rate
- No sponsored reviews — We do not accept payment for positive reviews
- Honest testing — Every tool is tested for 30+ days before we publish
- Full transparency — Affiliate links are disclosed on every page
If a tool pays higher commissions but doesn’t fit the use case, we won’t recommend it.
