How We Make Money

StackPick is free to use. We make money when our recommendations help you choose software — and only when that choice is honest.

Affiliate commissions (primary)

Some outbound links are affiliate links (/r/{tool}). If you sign up or pay through one, the vendor may pay us a commission. You pay the same price as going direct.

Programs we track include Brevo, Systeme.io, and others listed in our disclosure. Many comparison pages link to tools with no active affiliate program (Mailchimp, Zapier, etc.) — we still show them when the data supports it.

Commissions do not change scores. Ratings come from structured JSON fields, not from who pays us.

What we do not sell

• No pay-for-placement rankings
• No sponsored “#1 tool” badges
• No paid reviews
• No data brokerage (we do not sell your email)

Email list

The footer and calculators offer price-drop alerts and stack audits. We store emails on our own server to notify you when tracked vendors change pricing — not a weekly marketing blast.

Future (only if demand proves it)

Possible later: paid API access to our pricing index, agency stack audits, or sponsorship of alert emails once the list is large enough. Nothing paid is live today.
