The short version
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you buy something through one, we may receive a commission. You never pay more because of it.
Where you will see it
Every article that contains an affiliate link carries a disclosure at the top, before the body text — not buried at the bottom. Where a specific recommendation depends on a paid relationship, we repeat the disclosure next to that recommendation.
What a commission does not buy
- It does not buy a recommendation. We link to tools we have actually used, and we say what we disliked about them.
- It does not buy silence. If a paying tool is worse than a free one for your case, we say so.
- It does not change a measured number. Figures are reported as measured, including when they make the affiliated product look bad.
If we cannot write honestly about a product while being paid to link to it, we drop the affiliate link rather than the honesty.
Advertising
Separately from affiliate links, this site may display advertising. Advertising is sold and placed by third parties, and their appearance is not an endorsement by us. See the privacy policy for how advertising cookies work.
Sponsored content
We do not publish paid posts, sponsored reviews, or guest posts placed for link building. If that ever changes, the label will be at the top of the article and this page will be updated first.
Questions
If a disclosure is missing from an article that needs one, that is a mistake on our side. Tell us and we will fix it. See the contact page.
