Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: February 8, 2026

Our Commitment to Transparency

ConsensusGuides participates in affiliate marketing programs with various software and service providers. This means we may earn a commission when you purchase a product or service through links on our website, at no additional cost to you.

We believe in complete transparency, which is why we're disclosing this relationship upfront. Our goal is to provide you with accurate, helpful information while supporting the cost of creating and maintaining these comprehensive guides.

How Affiliate Marketing Works

When you click on an affiliate link on our website and make a purchase:

  1. You are redirected to the product or service provider's website
  2. A tracking cookie is placed in your browser (if you consent to cookies)
  3. If you make a purchase within the cookie duration period, we may receive a commission
  4. Your purchase price remains the same—you pay no extra fees

The commission we receive comes from the product provider, not from you. In many cases, we can even negotiate special discounts for our readers.

Which Links Are Affiliate Links?

We use affiliate links for the following types of content:

  • Tool recommendations within our guides (e.g., "get started with Make.com")
  • Product comparison articles
  • Step-by-step tutorials that involve specific tools

How to identify affiliate links: We include a disclosure banner at the top of any article containing affiliate links. Additionally, affiliate links typically include phrases like "get started," "try free," or "create account."

Our Editorial Integrity

Our #1 priority is providing accurate, helpful information. We would never recommend a tool or service solely because it has an affiliate program.

Here's how we maintain editorial integrity:

  • Consensus-Based Research: All our guides are built from consensus analysis across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. No single source determines our recommendations.
  • Verification Process: Every fact in our guides is verified across multiple AI sources. We track our citation scores (average 8.5/10) to ensure quality.
  • No Pay-to-Play: Companies cannot pay us to be featured or ranked higher in our guides. Our recommendations are based solely on research and consensus.
  • Balanced Coverage: We cover tools whether or not they have affiliate programs. Many tools we recommend have no affiliate relationship.
  • Honest Reviews: We include both pros and cons in our coverage, even for tools with affiliate programs.

Current Affiliate Relationships

We currently participate in affiliate programs with:

  • Make.com (formerly Integromat) — Automation platform
  • Notion — Workspace and productivity tool
  • Loom — Video messaging platform
  • Webflow — Website builder
  • ClickUp — Project management tool
  • Other SaaS and AI tools (updated regularly)

This list may change as we review new tools and add new guides. We will keep this page updated with our current affiliations.

How Commissions Help Us

The commissions we earn from affiliate relationships help us:

  • Keep all our guides 100% free to access
  • Invest in comprehensive research across multiple AI models
  • Maintain and update existing guides with new information
  • Create new guides covering additional tools and use cases
  • Pay for hosting, tools, and operational costs

Without affiliate revenue, we would need to charge for access or implement intrusive advertising. We believe the affiliate model aligns our interests with yours: we succeed when we help you find the right tools for your needs.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure complies with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. The FTC requires us to disclose any material connection between us and the products or services we recommend.

Your Choice

Using affiliate links is entirely optional. You can always navigate directly to a product provider's website instead of using our links. However, using our affiliate links helps support our work at no extra cost to you, and we genuinely appreciate it.
