Affiliate Disclosure

How we make money

Some of our product cards have a "Go to [product]" button. Purchases or sign-ups made through that button may earn us a commission from the other party, at no extra cost to you. This is one of our main sources of revenue, alongside the Google ads on the page.

Does this affect what we review

It doesn't decide whether we recommend something, or what score we give it. Our process is: actually use the tool first, write down what we found — cons always included, that's an editorial rule, not optional. Whether an affiliate deal exists is something we sort out after the content is written. If there's no deal, or the other party has no affiliate program, we still write the review and the button just links to their official site — we don't skip a tool or score it lower for lack of a commission.

The reverse also holds: having a commission relationship doesn't mean a higher score. When an article compares several tools side by side, the commission may only apply to some of them, but the ranking and ratings follow actual hands-on experience, not who pays.

How to spot these links

Articles with affiliate links show a "Contains affiliate links" note next to the byline and publish date. Articles without that note have none. Technically, these links always route through our own short-link redirect and carry the rel="sponsored nofollow" attribute — that's a technical signal for search engines, telling Google this is an advertising-type link rather than a natural editorial reference.

Other sources of revenue

We also show third-party ads through Google AdSense, which is separate from affiliate links. Details on ads and cookies are in our Privacy Policy, not repeated here.
