Affiliate disclosure

Some links can pay us. They do not buy a better score.

Business Stack Index may earn a commission when you click certain links and later buy a product or service. You generally do not pay more because we earn a commission.

How this works

When a recommendation includes an affiliate relationship, we may receive money from the vendor if you become a customer. We identify commercial links in the page context and qualify affiliate links with rel="sponsored" where applicable.

What affiliate relationships do not change

Affiliate status and commission amount are not inputs to the Business Stack Engine. The Category Need Score is calculated first, and the Tool Fit Score is calculated second. Affiliate program data is kept separately from those scoring rules.

That means a tool that does not pay us can rank above one that does. It also means the recommendation can be to skip a software category entirely.

What we do not claim

We do not claim first-hand testing unless we actually performed and documented it. We do not invent customer experiences, reviews, endorsements, security claims, or compliance claims. Product pricing and terms can change, so readers should verify material details with the vendor before buying.
