Affiliate disclosure

DecisionWire is funded by affiliate commissions. We want you to know exactly what that means, where it applies, and — most importantly — why it never changes what we tell you about a product.

When you click a button to visit a vendor's site, the link passes through our own redirector (/go/…) before sending you on. For vendors we have an affiliate relationship with, that redirect carries a tracking code, and a qualifying sign-up or purchase earns us a commission paid by the vendor — never by you. For every other vendor, the same link simply forwards you to their site and earns us nothing. We route all outbound vendor links this way so we can measure what's useful, which means a link may be monetized today, later, or not at all.

We don't hide it. Wherever a page carries affiliate links, you'll find a short disclosure right next to the call-to-action, and this page is linked from the footer of every page. We deliberately don't mark individual links with different styling, because the presence of a commission shouldn't change how you read our analysis — so we tell you plainly, up front, that any outbound vendor link may be one.

Commissions fund the work; they do not buy a place in it. The facts we publish come from primary sources and are verified independently of whether a vendor pays us. Our scores and editor's picks are derived from those facts, not from commission rates, and a vendor with no affiliate program is covered, ranked, and recommended on exactly the same terms as one that pays. You can read precisely how we source, verify, score, and pick on our methodology page.

If anything here is unclear, or you believe a commission has colored our coverage, we want to hear it — that's a bug, and we treat it like one. Reach us through the contact link in the footer, and see the corrections section of our methodology for how we handle fixes.
