Affiliate links only appear in our software selection sections:

  • /saas/ — curated software category overviews
  • /compare/ — side-by-side product comparisons
  • /alternatives/ — alternatives to popular tools
  • /reviews/ — in-depth tool reviews

In these sections:

  • Every page with affiliate links displays a visible disclosure line directly beneath the title naming the active programs.
  • Individual affiliate links are clearly marked with a "(paid link)" marker so you always know when a link is commercial.
  • All outbound affiliate links route through sudoai.net/go/... redirect links marked with rel="sponsored nofollow" attributes.

Examples of pages this disclosure covers: Better Stack vs UptimeRobot, n8n Cloud vs self-hosted, and Auth.js vs Clerk vs Supabase Auth.

Where they never appear

We keep a strict line between our discovery directory and commercial reviews:

  • The launches directory: Listings on the launch board are free submissions from creators. They are never paid placements, sponsored slots, or affiliate partnerships, and carry no affiliate links.
  • Maker and submit pages: The submit product page and listing consideration are entirely free. We do not sell priority placement or paid review spots.
  • Free tools: All utilities in our toolkit run locally in your browser and do not require any purchase.
  • Guides and playbooks: Our practitioner playbooks provide educational workflows and do not require software purchases.

Status today

We currently participate in the following affiliate programs:

  • UptimeRobot affiliate program via Reditus
  • Better Stack affiliate program

When you click through our commercial links to these tools and make a purchase or subscribe, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Partnerships may be operated directly by software vendors or managed through affiliate networks (such as Reditus, PartnerStack, Impact, or CJ).

Tools without an affiliate program will still get listed, reviewed, and compared with standard, normal links. We do not omit or ignore relevant software simply because it lacks an affiliate program.

What commissions do not change

Commissions never influence how we evaluate software or what we recommend:

  • Rankings and order: Tools are organized by practical fit and merit, never by commercial relationships.
  • Verdicts: Our conclusions come from our own free-tier testing and research; anything we did not try is marked "not tested".
  • “Who should not buy” notes: Every tool evaluation highlights weaknesses, limitations, and use cases where you should avoid buying.
  • No paid placements: We do not accept payment for placement, rankings, or favorable coverage in our reviews.

Social posts

If we share a commission-earning link across social media or external channels, we label that post clearly with “affiliate” or “ad”.
