Affiliate Disclosure
We believe in being straight with you, so here's exactly how StackChoice makes money.
The short version
StackChoice is reader-supported. Many of the links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and sign up for or buy a product, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. You pay the same price you would have anyway; the company simply shares a portion of its revenue with us for the referral.
What this does — and doesn't — change
Our promise
- We only recommend tools we genuinely believe are worth your time and money.
- Our rankings are based on real value, ease of use, and ROI — never on commission size.
- We name the real trade-offs and downsides of every tool.
- You never pay more for using our links.
What we won't do
- Rank a worse tool higher because it pays us more.
- Hide a tool's flaws to protect a commission.
- Recommend something we wouldn't use ourselves.
- Let any brand pay for a review or edit our opinion.
Why we use affiliate links at all
Running this site — testing tools, writing honest reviews, keeping everything free to read — costs time and money. Affiliate commissions let us do that without putting our content behind a paywall or plastering the site with ads. When you buy through our links, you're directly supporting independent, honest reviews. Thank you — genuinely.
The FTC bit
In line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidelines (16 CFR Part 255) on endorsements and testimonials, we disclose that StackChoice has affiliate and/or advertising relationships with some of the companies whose products we review, including — but not limited to — the marketing, software, hosting, and security tools featured across this site. Where a link earns us a commission, it is marked with the appropriate rel="sponsored" attribute.
