Affiliate Disclosure & FTC Compliance
What Is an Affiliate Link?
Some links on SaaS Expert are affiliate links. This means if you click the link and purchase a product or service, we may earn a commission. You pay the same price — there's no extra cost to you. The commission helps support this site and allow us to continue publishing independent reviews.
How We Use Affiliate Links
We participate in affiliate programs run by software vendors and affiliate networks including:
- PartnerStack
- Impact
- ShareASale
- Direct vendor affiliate programs
Affiliate links are identified with the label "sponsored" in the HTML (rel="sponsored").
In many cases, we also include a call-to-action button clearly marked to indicate that the link
will earn us a commission.
Affiliate Relationships Do Not Influence Our Reviews
This is important: we do not recommend a tool because it pays us. Our reviews are based on independent research, hands-on testing, and honest analysis of whether the tool actually solves the problem it claims to solve.
If a tool has a generous affiliate program but isn't genuinely useful, it won't get a positive review. If a tool has no affiliate program but is excellent, we'll still recommend it.
Our verdicts and ratings are our honest opinion. Affiliate commissions don't change that.
Tools We Don't Have Affiliate Links For
Some tools don't have affiliate programs, or we haven't applied yet. Those articles contain no affiliate links — just honest reviews and comparisons. We treat them the same way as any other review.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure complies with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. All affiliate relationships are disclosed clearly and prominently.
If you're unsure whether a link is an affiliate link, look for:
- A "Get started" or "Try now" button marked with a call-to-action
- HTML attribute:
rel="sponsored" - Context in the article mentioning affiliate relationships
