Affiliate & sponsor disclosure
How this site is paid for, in plain terms.
Our products and sister brand
The paid spreadsheet templates on /templates/ are sold by us; Tideline Press books and Tideline Studio Etsy templates come from our sister brand. They are never ranked against vendor tools.
Paid links
Some links to software vendors may be affiliate links. If you click one and then buy, the vendor may pay us a commission. You don't pay more because of it. Some listing pages also have a “Book a demo (paid link)” button: that is a referral link, and the vendor may pay us a referral fee if you book a demo or become a customer through it.
We currently have paid or referral links for:
Wherever a paid link appears, the button says “paid link” and the page shows a short disclosure near the top, before any link, so you can see it before you click. Paid links carry rel="sponsored".
Featured listings
Listings on this site are free. We are not selling featured spots or category spotlights right now. If we offer labeled sponsored placements later, they will be marked “Sponsored” and listed here. See For vendors.
What money doesn't change
- Comparison verdicts, feature tables and guide recommendations are written from the vendors' official websites. A commission or a future featured listing never changes what we say.
- Prices are only quoted when we read them on the vendor's official pricing page, and we label them with the month we checked.
- Vendors with no paid relationship are listed and compared the same way as those with one.
Why we tell you
The US Federal Trade Commission asks sites that earn commissions from links to say so clearly, close to the recommendation. See the FTC's Endorsement Guides: What People Are Asking.
