Affiliate disclosure

How this site earns money, and the rules that keep money from deciding what we recommend. Updated September 2026.

The short version

Some links here are paid links

If you click a paid link and then subscribe to that tool, we may earn a commission. You pay the same price you would pay going to the company directly.

Paid links are marked where they appear. Every page with a pricing button carries the line "Paid links" beside it, and the buttons are marked as sponsored links for search engines.

What it never changes

What a commission never changes

The order tools appear in. Rankings and "pick this if" verdicts come from the figures on each fact sheet, not from what a link pays.

What a review says a tool is bad at. Every review has that section, and every comparison says where each tool falls down.

Whether a free tool gets recommended. Where a free option does the job at your volume, the page says so.

What we do not do

No paid reviews, no paid placements

We do not accept payment for a review, a ranking or a placement, and no company sees a page before it is published. We do not write that we tested a tool we have not used.
