Affiliate Disclosure
Effective Date: July 20, 2026
FTC Compliance and Partner Links
In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, this page explains how StacksGeek monetizes its reviews, comparison tables, and tutorial guides.
You should assume that many links leading from StacksGeek to external software products, platforms, or hosting services are **affiliate links** (also referred to as partner links).
How Affiliate Links Work
When you click on a partner link on our site (for example, `/go/make-com`) and sign up or purchase a subscription, the service provider pays StacksGeek a small referral fee or commission.
This commission does not cost you anything extra. In fact, because we partner directly with these platforms, we are sometimes able to secure special discount codes, free trial extensions (such as 1-month free Core plans), or credit offers that you wouldn't get directly from the homepages.
Our Editorial Standards
We value our readers' trust above all else. Editorial integrity is the cornerstone of StacksGeek.
- We only recommend tools we have actively tested, evaluated, and used in real-world tech stacks.
- We write honest pros and cons. If a tool has terrible customer service, lacks basic features, or charges predatory pricing, we state it clearly.
- Affiliate commission rates do not influence our ratings. We frequently give higher ratings to self-hosted, open-source, or non-paying tools (like n8n self-hosted) over commercial alternatives if they offer superior developer value.
Questions?
If you have any questions regarding our affiliate relationships, or would like to confirm if a specific link on our site is tracked, please email us at hello@stacksgeek.com. We typically respond within 24–48 hours.
