Affiliate disclosure

The short version: some links on this site earn us a commission. Here is how that works and what it does and does not change.

How we make money

This site runs on two things: affiliate commissions and paid placements.

Affiliate commissions. Some of the programs in the directory pay us when a visitor signs up through our link. The commission is paid by the program at the same rate any other affiliate would earn, so joining through us never costs you more. Links that can earn us money carry rel="sponsored nofollow" and pass through a redirect on our own domain so we can count clicks.

Paid placements. Programs can pay to be featured on the site. Every paid placement carries a visible FEATURED label wherever it appears. Placement buys position and visibility, nothing else. The details and prices are on the pricing page.

What money cannot buy here

A Program Score. The score is our editorial read of a program's terms: commission, cookie window, recurring payouts, network. It is applied the same way to programs that pay us and programs that do not, and there is no price at which it changes. If a score ever moves, the change shows up on the public changelog, so a quiet edit in anyone's favour would be on the record.

What this means for you

• You never pay more by using our links. Commissions come from the program's acquisition budget.
• Rankings and grades are based on the terms a program offers affiliates, not on whether it pays us.
• Paid placement is always labeled. If it does not say FEATURED, nobody paid for it to be there.
• We do not sell user data, run disguised sponsored posts, or publish fake ratings.
