Affiliate Disclosure

1. What this disclosure covers

This Site is operated by the Site Operator as an independent review and comparison resource for paid online survey platforms. Some of the links on this Site are affiliate links. This page explains what that means, how affiliate relationships work on this Site, how we pay for the editorial team and the research that goes into each review, and the line we draw between affiliate revenue and editorial coverage.

2. What an affiliate link is

An affiliate link is a tracked URL that identifies the Site as the source of the visit when you click through to a third-party platform. If you sign up for the platform after clicking an affiliate link, the platform pays us a commission for the referral. The price you pay for any service is identical whether you arrive via this Site or directly. Affiliate links are how most independent review sites in this category fund themselves.

3. How affiliate links work on this Site

When you click an affiliate link to a partner survey platform, the destination platform may set a cookie in your browser. If you sign up within the cookie's lifetime (typically thirty to ninety days), the platform's tracking system credits us with the conversion. We do not access your account on the destination platform, do not see your sign-up details, and do not receive any personally identifiable information about you from the affiliate program. We receive aggregate counts and commission amounts.

4. How we choose what to feature

Editorial inclusion on this Site is independent of any affiliate relationship. A platform appears on the Site because it meets our editorial criteria for relevance, payout reliability, geographic coverage, and user experience. A platform offering a higher commission does not receive a higher ranking. A platform offering a lower commission, or no commission at all, can rank above a higher-commission alternative if its scoring justifies it. We have published reviews of platforms that pay us nothing.

5. Editorial independence

We do not accept payment in exchange for favorable reviews, ranking placement, removal of negative coverage, or selective omission of legitimate criticisms. Sponsored content, paid placements, and ghost-written reviews are not used on this Site. If a platform we review is owned or operated by a company we have a commercial relationship with, that relationship is disclosed inline within the review.

6. Pricing and your costs

Affiliate commissions are paid to us by the partner platform out of the platform's own marketing budget. They are not added to your costs. The price, payout rate, and terms you receive on the destination platform are identical whether you arrive via this Site, via a different referral source, or directly through the platform's own homepage.

7. How commissions fund this Site

Affiliate revenue is the primary way the Site is funded. It pays for editorial research, ongoing content updates as platforms change their offerings, hosting and infrastructure, design work, and the operational costs of running an independent review site. Without affiliate revenue, the Site would either need to charge a subscription fee, run banner advertising, or shut down. Affiliate revenue is the model that lets the Site stay free to read while remaining editorially independent of any single platform.

8. FTC compliance

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, codified at 16 CFR Part 255. The disclosure on this page is the Site-wide statement. Individual reviews and comparisons that include affiliate links also carry an inline disclosure on the page where the link appears, sized to be clear and conspicuous to a reasonable reader.

9. Inline disclosures

Wherever an affiliate link appears in editorial content on this Site, the page carries a clearly visible disclosure either at the top of the page, immediately adjacent to the link, or in a permanently visible disclosure block. The disclosure language clearly identifies the link as a paid referral.

10. Third-party practices

Once you click through to a partner survey platform, that platform's own terms of service, privacy policy, payout structure, and dispute-resolution procedures apply. We are not responsible for the practices of any third-party platform linked from the Site. If a partner platform changes its terms, fails to pay out, or otherwise disappoints, your recourse is with the platform directly. We will, however, update or remove the relevant editorial content on the Site if material problems are confirmed.

11. Earnings disclaimer

Earnings on any paid-survey platform vary widely by individual, location, demographic profile, available survey supply, time of day, and many other factors outside our control. Any earnings figure quoted on this Site is an example, an average, or a platform-stated rate. It is not a promise of what you will earn. Survey work is not employment. Treat every figure on this Site as a research input, not a guarantee.

12. No professional advice

Content on this Site is not financial, legal, tax, or employment advice. The Site's editorial coverage is intended to help you compare paid-survey platforms and make an informed decision about which (if any) to try. It is not a substitute for personalized advice from a qualified professional.

13. Changes to this disclosure

We may update this Affiliate Disclosure from time to time as the Site's affiliate relationships evolve. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be flagged at the top of the page for at least thirty days following the update.
