Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this site earn us a commission. This page explains exactly which ones, what that pays for, and what it cannot buy.

1. How this site is funded

SuiteProbe is an independent publication. It is funded by affiliate commissions: when a reader follows a link to a software vendor from this site and later buys a subscription, the vendor pays us a referral fee through an affiliate network.

We do not sell advertising space, we do not publish paid guest posts, and we do not sell reader data.

2. Which links are commercial

Commercial links go through /go/ and are marked with rel="sponsored" in the page source. Every page carrying one shows a disclosure notice above the first such link, before you can reach it.

Ordinary links — to a vendor's own documentation, to a standards body, to a competitor's product page — carry no commission and are not marked.

3. What the commission does not buy

• A better score, a softer caveat, or a removed criticism.
• Placement in a comparison where the product does not belong.
• Silence about a limitation we found during testing.

Where we could not test something — most often a paid feature we hold no licence for — the page says so instead of describing a result we do not have.

4. Cost to you

Nothing. The price you pay is the vendor's price; a commission is paid out of it, not added to it. We do not claim discounts that do not exist, and we do not use countdown timers or urgency devices.

5. Regional restrictions

The affiliate programme we work with restricts certain traffic and we respect that technically. Requests to commercial links from restricted regions are refused by the server rather than redirected, so no commission is earned from them.

6. The rules behind this page

This disclosure is written to satisfy the US Federal Trade Commission's endorsement guides (16 CFR Part 255), the UK Advertising Standards Authority's CAP Code on affiliate marketing, and the Canadian Competition Bureau's guidance on influencer and affiliate marketing. If you believe it falls short of any of these, write to our compliance desk and we will fix it.
