Affiliate disclosure
Last updated
The short answer
Some links on Solo Tool Bench are affiliate links. If you click one and then buy, we may earn a commission. You pay the same price. Commissions don’t decide which builders we recommend or how we score them.
How affiliate links work here
When you click an affiliate link and then sign up for a paid plan, buy a domain or buy hosting, the company may pay us a commission. The price you pay is the same as if you’d gone to the company’s site directly.
This is how we pay for the site, the tools we use to test, and the time it takes to keep prices and results current.
How to spot an affiliate link
- Top-of-page notice. Any page with affiliate links shows a short disclosure near the top, before the first affiliate link.
- Marked buttons. Buttons that are affiliate links say “(affiliate link)” next to or under them.
- /go/ addresses. Our affiliate links go through addresses starting with
solotoolbench.com/go/, then forward you to the company’s site. - Non-affiliate links say so when it’s useful to know, for example: “We don’t earn from this link.”
What commissions don’t change
- Rankings and scores. Scores come from the fixed weights on our How We Test page. Commission isn’t one of the criteria.
- Who gets recommended. We recommend builders that don’t pay us when they’re the better fit for you.
- Downsides. We list the main downside of every builder we recommend, including the ones we earn from. We say when a builder we earn from isn’t the best choice.
- Access. Companies can’t pay to be reviewed, to change a verdict, or to see a page before it’s published.
Other income
We don’t run display ads and we don’t publish sponsored reviews. If that ever changes, sponsored content will be clearly labelled as sponsored, and this page will be updated first.
