Commercial relationships should be obvious.
Tooldex may earn money from some referrals or sell clearly labeled sponsored visibility. Those relationships help fund the directory, but they do not purchase editorial rank or a positive opinion.
Affiliate links
Some outbound links may contain a referral identifier. If you click one and later start a trial or make a purchase, Tooldex may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate-capable links are marked in context when the relationship could affect how a reasonable reader interprets the recommendation.
Sponsored placements
Paid placements use labels such as Sponsored or Featured partner. Sponsorship can purchase defined visibility for a defined period. It cannot purchase an organic ranking, a fabricated rating, an unearned verification badge, or removal of a better editorial option.
Priority review
A priority-review fee pays for a faster editorial decision. It does not guarantee inclusion. Products must still satisfy the same usefulness, safety, clarity, and accessibility standards described in the editorial policy.
Pricing and product claims
Third-party pricing, plans, availability, and features change frequently. Tooldex aims to date material comparisons and link to primary sources, but the official product website remains authoritative for a purchase decision.
Corrections
If a commercial relationship is missing, unclear, or inaccurate, please use the contact page. Disclosure issues are treated as priority corrections.
