Affiliate Disclosure

The short version: some links pay us, none of them change what you pay or what we say.

Some of the outbound links on this site — the ones that go through a /go/ path — are affiliate links. If you click one and end up buying or signing up, the company may pay us a commission.

What this changes for you

Nothing about the price. You pay exactly what you'd pay going to the tool directly; the commission comes out of the company's side, not yours.

What it doesn't change

Our verdicts. A tool is recommended here because we'd use it ourselves, not because of what it pays — and when a tool has a problem, the problem is written down right next to the link. Nothing that stops being worth recommending stays on the page just because it's an affiliate. We keep the recommendation list short on purpose, and we'd rather lose the commission than send you to something we don't stand behind.

Where the links live

Every affiliate link points through our tools page, which is the one place we keep current. Recommendations change — pricing shifts, reputations sour — and when they do we update that page rather than forty scattered ones. Affiliate links are marked as sponsored in the page's HTML, per FTC guidance.
