Affiliate disclosure
At the time of writing, not a single link on this site earns us anything. We have applied to no program yet and been approved by none.
Nothing you pay changes because of a link on this site.
How this site is meant to make money
By referral fees from software vendors when a reader signs up after following a link from here. The reader pays the same price either way; the vendor pays us out of its own marketing budget.
The conflict of interest, stated plainly
The vendors that pay the most are not the cheapest. A site funded this way has a standing incentive to push readers toward expensive products, and you should assume every site in this category has that incentive, including this one.
What we do about it is structural rather than a promise: every ordering on this site is by computed monthly cost, ascending, and nothing else. There is no score we could quietly weight. Roughly a third of the vendors we list have no affiliate program at all, and they are ordered by the same rule as the rest — several of them sit at the top of their tables. The method page gives the sort key in full.

How links are labeled
A link that earns us a fee carries rel="sponsored nofollow". A link that does not carries rel="nofollow" only and is marked Unpaid link next to it. Source and citation links are never marked sponsored, because they are not commercial.
Placement is not for sale
No vendor has paid, or can pay, to appear on this site, to be ordered above another vendor, or to have anything about it removed. We do not sell listings, badges, awards, sponsored posts or “AI visibility”.
The sort key that replaces editorial judgment is set out on the method page, the full dataset including every source URL is at data.json, and the vendor list shows which vendors have no affiliate program at all.
