Affiliate Disclosures & Advertising Policy — SB Tools
Affiliate Disclosures & Advertising Policy
The short version: some links on SB Tools are affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Commissions never change a verdict — they never have, and the rule below is written so they can't.
Our rules, in order of strictness
- No link without a recommendation. Every affiliate-linked tool is one we'd use ourselves; the verdict on the page stands on its own if the link is removed.
- No affiliate link on a tool we rank last or call out as "skip it" — if we don't recommend it, we don't profit from you clicking.
- No partnership is hidden. Where we don't have an affiliate relationship on a page, we say so in the sources section ("no partnership" marker).
- Paid placements, if we ever run them, are labeled at the top of the article and in the meta. We have not run any as of 2026-09-04.
- Pricing is dated. Affiliate status doesn't stop us from quoting the vendor's current price — stale pricing is how these sites lose trust.
Programs currently used (or planned)
As of 2026-09-04, no affiliate links are live on the site — accounts are being applied to during the first two weeks of publishing. Programs we intend to join, as approved: Pipedrive, HubSpot, Freshworks, Tidio, Make.com, n8n, Zapier, Kit (ConvertKit), Jasper, Semrush, Fireflies.ai, QuickBooks (via Impact). Each will be added here the day it's approved, with its rate structure if public.
Privacy
We use cookieless analytics. Affiliate networks set their own cookies when you click through; we can't control that, and we list the networks we use here when live. The newsletter uses double opt-in with one-click unsubscribe; we never sell the list.
Data & corrections
Our test data for any published claim is available on request at hello@sbtools.ai. If a price or claim on this site is wrong, tell us — corrections are made the same day and the "updated" date on the article changes.
