Affiliate disclosure
Last updated
Some links are affiliate links. We may earn a commission if you buy through them — at no extra cost to you. Our verdicts are based on evidence, pricing, fit, limitations, and tradeoffs — not commission size.
How affiliate links and commissions work
Verdictify is reader-supported. When we recommend a product, the outbound link often routes through a tracked redirect so the partner can attribute a resulting sale to us and pay a commission. This is a standard affiliate arrangement: the price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go to the vendor directly, and the commission comes out of the vendor's margin, not your pocket.
Affiliate links carry a rel="sponsored" attribute so search
engines and AI systems can identify them as monetized. Where a link is a
neutral citation — for example, a source we reference for a pricing figure —
it is a plain link and earns us nothing.
Editorial independence
Commission has no seat at the table when we rank products. Our ranking is commission-blind: we do not sort, weight, or promote a product because it pays more, and we routinely recommend alternatives — including free tools and products we earn nothing from — when they are the better fit.
Every verdict names who a product is not right for, because no product is right for everyone. If a partnership ever conflicts with an honest verdict, the verdict wins.
Scope
This disclosure is written to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission endorsement standard and applies across our markets — the United States, New Zealand, and Australia.
