Affiliate Disclosure

The Inbox Ledger contains affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and purchase a product, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. Here is how we handle that, transparently.

What is an affiliate link

An affiliate link is a tracked URL that credits us with a referral when you click through and become a customer of the product. The price you pay is the same. The product company pays us a referral fee out of their existing budget.

How affiliate revenue affects our coverage

It does not affect what we recommend. We have a hard rule: we do not promote products we have not tested, and we do not let commission rates influence which tools we cover or how we rank them. When two products are comparable on quality and the commercial terms differ meaningfully, we say so in the review.

When we recommend a product over a higher-commission alternative because we think the lower-paying one is better for the reader, we name both and explain why.

How we mark affiliate links

• Every affiliate link uses rel="sponsored nofollow noopener"
• Most affiliate links route through /go/[slug] for tracking and so we can swap programs without breaking articles
• Articles containing affiliate links display a notice at the top

This disclosure is provided in compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255 guidelines on endorsements and testimonials.
