The short version
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you sign up or buy through one, we may receive a commission. It costs you nothing extra, and it does not change what we recommend.
How you will know
Any article containing affiliate links carries a disclosure at the top, before the content — not buried at the bottom. Affiliate links themselves are marked in the page’s code with rel="sponsored nofollow", as search-engine and advertising rules require.
What a commission does not buy
- A recommendation. We recommend tools we would recommend without a programme, and we say plainly when a free alternative is better.
- A position in a list. Rankings follow the criteria stated in the article.
- Silence about problems. Limitations, fees and risks are described whether or not we earn from the link.
If a partner asks us to remove criticism, we end the partnership rather than the criticism.
Programmes we participate in
[PLACEHOLDER — list every affiliate programme and network you actually join, e.g. “Amazon Associates”. Several programmes, including Amazon’s, require specific disclosure wording — use theirs verbatim where their terms demand it.]
