Affiliate Disclosure
Last Updated: February 14, 2026
StackPicked.com is a participant in various affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click certain links on this site and make a purchase, I may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
What Are Affiliate Links?
An affiliate link is a special tracking URL that lets companies know when a sale came from my recommendation. If you purchase a product or service through one of these links, the company pays me a small percentage of the sale.
Here’s what’s important:
- It doesn’t cost you extra. The price you pay is the same whether you use my affiliate link or go directly to the company’s website.
- I only recommend tools I’ve used or thoroughly researched. A high commission rate doesn’t make a bad product worth recommending.
- I disclose affiliate links clearly. Every article containing affiliate links includes a notice at the top. Links are also marked contextually where appropriate.
Affiliate Programs I Participate In
StackPicked.com is currently enrolled in the following affiliate programs:
- Hostinger — Web hosting (direct affiliate program)
- ShareASale — Affiliate network with access to various software and SaaS companies
- Impact — Affiliate network for tech and business tools
- CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction) — Affiliate network
- Amazon Associates — Physical products and some software
- Various direct affiliate programs with SaaS companies (e.g., project management tools, productivity software, design tools, email marketing platforms)
This list is not exhaustive and may change as I add new product reviews and partnerships.
How This Affects My Recommendations
My editorial integrity is not for sale. Here’s my commitment to you:
- Honest reviews. If a tool has limitations, I’ll tell you. If there’s a better free alternative, I’ll mention it even if it means earning no commission.
- Real experience. I test products myself whenever possible. When I haven’t personally used a tool, I clearly state that and base my analysis on thorough research, user reviews, and official documentation.
- Comparison integrity. In “best of” lists and comparison articles, rankings are based on genuine evaluation, not commission rates. A tool offering 50% commission doesn’t automatically get ranked #1.
- Balanced coverage. I include non-affiliate options when they’re legitimately the best choice for certain use cases.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure complies with the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) requirements for affiliate marketing and online endorsements. The FTC requires that I disclose any material connection between myself and the companies whose products I recommend.
In plain English: if I earn money from a recommendation, you have a right to know.
Your Trust Matters
StackPicked is a new blog (launched February 2026), and trust is everything. I’d rather make less money and maintain credibility than compromise my recommendations for short-term affiliate commissions.
If you ever feel that a review is inaccurate or biased, please contact me. I take feedback seriously and update articles when I get new information or realize I made a mistake.
