Commercial transparency

Advertising and affiliate disclosure

ToolScorecard may earn revenue from advertising and qualifying purchases. That commercial relationship does not purchase inclusion or preferred placement.

The short version

If a reader uses a qualifying affiliate link, ToolScorecard may receive a commission at no additional cost to the reader. Advertising may also appear on the site.

Revenue sources

Affiliate links

Qualifying purchases

Some outbound product links may use affiliate tracking. A commission may be earned when an eligible purchase or subscription follows that link.

Advertising

Display placements

Google AdSense or another disclosed advertising service may place ads on eligible pages.

Amazon Associates statement

ToolScorecard is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate, ToolScorecard earns from qualifying purchases.

Editorial boundary

  • No purchased inclusion: a commercial relationship does not guarantee that a product appears on a page.
  • No preferred placement for commission: product order in rebuilt guides is alphabetical.
  • Source rules still apply: commercial relationships do not convert marketing material into verified product fact.
  • Reader price: an affiliate commission normally does not add a separate charge to the reader, but the vendor controls current pricing and terms.

Reader checks

Before purchasing, confirm current price, renewal, cancellation, refund, privacy, security and support terms with the vendor. Contact ToolScorecard if a commercial relationship appears unclear or a disclosure is missing.
