How we work
How we make money
We earn affiliate commissions from some vendors when readers sign up through our links. Here is every vendor we track, what its program pays, and whether we have joined it.
23vendors run an affiliate program
8have none (we earn nothing)
8unclear or not found
0programs we have joined
Current status (2026-10-03): we have not joined any affiliate program yet. Every outbound link on this site goes straight to the vendor without tracking parameters. When we join a program, links to that vendor will route through /go/, be marked as affiliate links, and this table will say so.
Why commissions cannot change a ranking
The scoring code receives each CRM's facts with the affiliate fields removed, and a check before every build randomizes all affiliate data and fails if any score or position changes. See the methodology.
You can see the effect in our own rankings: of our ten highest-scoring general CRMs, 2 have no confirmed affiliate program (Twenty, Attio), and they rank exactly where the facts put them.
What we do not do
- No paid placements, sponsored rankings or "featured" slots.
- No payments for reviews, and no free accounts in exchange for coverage.
- No display ads or tracking cookies.
Every vendor's affiliate program
