Affiliate Disclosure
How blipradar makes money — and the firewall that keeps our rankings honest.
Reader-supported
blipradar is free to use. To keep it running, some of the links to tools on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and sign up or buy, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you.
It never affects rankings
This is the rule we won't break: affiliate relationships have zero influence on how tools are scored or ordered. Rankings come entirely from our public scoring rubric. No company can pay for a better position, a better score, or removal of a competitor.
Not every link earns us anything
Many tools — including most open-source projects and several large vendors — don't run affiliate programs at all. Those are linked normally and earn us nothing. We link to the best tool for you regardless of whether there's a commission attached.
How we label it
Where required, affiliate or sponsored links are disclosed on the page. Paid listings (a company paying to have a tool page created) are also clearly separated from rankings — paying for a listing gets a tool a page, not a position.
