Affiliate disclosure

The short version

• We may earn a commission when you click some links on this site and then buy or sign up.
• It never changes the price you pay. Any commission is paid by the company, not by you.
• We recommend tools we believe will genuinely help you. We never accept payment for placement.

Why we use affiliate links

FIVE PICKED is an independent site. Affiliate partnerships help fund our research and keep the site free to read, without subscriptions or intrusive ads. We focus on tools that are genuinely useful to our readers and that we are happy to recommend.

How affiliate links work

Some companies run affiliate programs. When you follow a link from FIVE PICKED to one of these companies and then make a purchase or create a paid account, they may pay us a commission.

How we label them

Every “Visit website” button opens the tool’s site in a new tab. Where a link is an affiliate link, it is marked as “sponsored” in the page code, in line with search engine guidelines. Some tools we recommend have no affiliate program at all, and we link to them in exactly the same way.

Our promise

We do not accept payment for placement, sponsored rankings or favorable coverage. Our goal is simple: help you find the right tool faster. You can read how we evaluate tools on our How we choose page.
