Affiliate Disclosure

Affiliate Disclosure

We earn commissions.
Here’s exactly how it works.

Toolspect uses affiliate links. This page explains what that means, what it affects, and what it absolutely doesn’t — so you can decide how to weigh our recommendations before you act on them.

The basics

How affiliate links work on this site

An affiliate link is a tracked URL that tells a vendor’s system a visitor arrived via Toolspect. When you click one and purchase a subscription, the vendor pays us a commission from their own marketing budget. The price you pay is identical to going directly to the vendor’s site — we add no markup.

1
You click a link on Toolspect

If the link is an affiliate link, it contains a tracking code that identifies Toolspect as the referring site.

2
You sign up for a paid plan

The vendor’s system records the referral. You pay the exact same price as going directly to the vendor.

3
The vendor pays us a commission

The commission comes from the vendor’s marketing budget. Zero effect on your cost, and zero effect on our editorial assessment of that vendor.
