Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: August 7, 2026

The short version

Some links on LeanStackLab are affiliate links. If you click one and then buy a subscription or product, the company pays us a commission. This costs you nothing extra — the price you pay is exactly the same, with or without our link.

What is an affiliate link?

An affiliate link is a special tracking link. When you use it to visit a tool's website and make a purchase, the vendor knows we sent you and shares a small percentage of the sale with us. It is one of the most common ways independent review sites fund their work, and it is how LeanStackLab pays for the tool subscriptions we test.

How you'll recognize them

We never hide which links are affiliate links:

• Every article containing affiliate links displays a disclosure notice at the top, before any link appears.
• Every affiliate product box is labeled"Affiliate link — we may earn a commission" and"Collaboration commerciale" directly on the box.
• Affiliate links are marked with a rel="sponsored"attribute, the standard way to identify paid links to search engines.

Our promise: commissions never change verdicts

Every review on this site is based on hands-on use of the tool — real workflows, real data, real invoices. We recommend tools we would pay for ourselves, and we publish the downsides alongside the strengths. If a tool is not worth your money, we say so, whether or not it has an affiliate program.

Affiliate relationships never influence a rating, a ranking or a recommendation. Vendors do not review, approve or edit our articles before publication, and they cannot pay for a better score.

Why we disclose

This disclosure follows the United States Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255), which require anyone earning commissions on recommendations to say so clearly and conspicuously. We also apply the European and French transparency rules for commercial collaborations ("collaboration commerciale").

Questions?

If anything about how we make money is unclear, ask us — we'd rather over-explain than leave a doubt. You can reach us through the waitlist form on the home page.
