Affiliate disclosure

We get commissions for purchases made through links on this site, once a program is approved and the link is live. You do not pay extra.

The Federal Trade Commission expects that sentence near the recommendation, not only in a footer. Monetized articles repeat a short version at the top.The FTC’s endorsement guidesare the reference, including the point that “affiliate link” by itself is not a clear disclosure.

Links that are not affiliate links yet

Most outbound product links currently go to the vendor’s public website, not to an approved affiliate URL. The site is not paid for those clicks. When a program approves the site, the link starts going to the affiliate URL, and the page says a commission may be earned.

What a commission does not buy

• It does not change the verdict. Tools with no program are reviewed anyway.
• It does not let a vendor edit a page.
• It is not a reason to call a product tested. Use is the reason.

Programs the site may use

Inclusion is not a claim that the site has been accepted, and it is not a promise of a rate. Check the vendor’s current terms before applying.

• Lofty — program page. Direct link to the vendor site. Not an affiliate URL yet.
• Sierra Interactive — program page. Direct link to the vendor site. Not an affiliate URL yet.
• HighLevel — program page. Direct link to the vendor site. Not an affiliate URL yet.
• AgentFire — program page. Direct link to the vendor site. Not an affiliate URL yet.
• HubSpot — program page. Direct link to the vendor site. Not an affiliate URL yet.
• Synthesia — program page. Direct link to the vendor site. Not an affiliate URL yet.
• Granola — program page. Direct link to the vendor site. Not an affiliate URL yet.
• DocuSign — program page. Direct link to the vendor site. Not an affiliate URL yet.
• SmartZip — program page. Direct link to the vendor site. Not an affiliate URL yet.
• Zapier — program page. Direct link to the vendor site. Not an affiliate URL yet.

Links this site is not using

• HeyGen. The current creator program is for original video, not a blog by itself. Articles can mention HeyGen and link to the vendor. They do not use an affiliate redirect.
• ElevenLabs. The affiliate terms restrict using the brand in ways that are meant to influence search rankings. Until that is clarified in writing, pages link straight to ElevenLabs and do not put an affiliate redirect on the name.
• Homebot. The published program pays for referring loan officers. This site does not use that link. A commission between an agent and a lender is a compliance question, not a default.
• Slybroadcast. The public referral offer is message credits, not cash. No redirect is set up for it.
• ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Copilot, and Perplexity have no consumer affiliate program this site is using. Perplexity’s Dub partner page has been reported closed.

Compensated access

Nothing on the site is described as a free trial the vendor comped, because that has not been documented. If a vendor later comps a product, the review will say so in the same place as the affiliate disclosure.
