StackedDeal participates in affiliate marketing programs. This page explains what that means and how it affects you as a visitor.
What is affiliate marketing?
When we recommend a tool or service on this Site, we often link to it using a special tracking link called an affiliate link. If you click that link and sign up for a paid plan (or in some cases, just register for an account), the company pays us a commission.
This commission is paid by the company — not by you. You pay the exact same price (or in many cases, a discounted price) whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the company’s website.
Why we disclose this
We’re required by the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to disclose any “material connection” between us and the products we recommend. Affiliate relationships are a material connection. So is being paid, getting free products, or having any other financial interest.
We comply with the FTC’s Endorsement Guides and the .com Disclosures guidelines.
Our editorial independence
We want to be very clear about how this affects (and doesn’t affect) our content:
What affiliate relationships DO mean:
- We have a financial incentive to recommend tools we have affiliate relationships with
- We may prioritize covering tools that pay commissions over those that don’t
- Some of our links contain tracking codes
What affiliate relationships DO NOT mean:
- We do not write positive reviews in exchange for higher commissions
- We do not accept payment to feature or rank tools higher
- We do not hide flaws or negative aspects of tools we recommend
- We do not recommend tools we wouldn’t use ourselves
If a tool we cover has limitations, we mention them — both because it’s the right thing to do and because honest reviews are what build long-term trust with readers.
Affiliate programs we participate in
We have affiliate relationships with companies including (but not limited to):
- Direct programs run by software companies (Beehiiv, Descript, Kit, Canva, Notion, ElevenLabs, TubeBuddy, VidIQ, Jasper, Copy.ai, Webflow, and others)
- Affiliate networks including Impact, PartnerStack, Rewardful, ShareASale, and CJ Affiliate
This list may change over time as we add new tools to the Site.
What we don’t do
- We don’t accept payment in exchange for positive reviews
- We don’t accept “sponsored posts” disguised as editorial content (if we ever do publish sponsored content in the future, it will be clearly labeled as such)
- We don’t sell ad placements within our deal pages
- We don’t manipulate the ranking of tools to favor higher-commission partners — our recommendations are based on what’s actually best for the use case
Questions about a specific recommendation?

Using our affiliate links is the best way to support StackedDeal. It’s how we keep this site free for readers and how we have the time to verify every deal we publish.
