Affiliate Disclosure

Some of the links on Surfaced are affiliate links. This means that when you click on a product link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer or service provider. This comes at absolutely no additional cost to you — the price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the site.

This affiliate revenue is what allows us to keep Surfaced free, pay our editorial team, and continue discovering amazing products, tools, and content for you every day.

Every product, tool, and service featured on Surfaced has been personally evaluated by our team. We only recommend things we would genuinely use ourselves or recommend to a friend. Our reputation depends on the trust of our readers, and we never take that for granted.

If we are featuring a sponsored or paid placement, we will always label it clearly and prominently. Sponsored content is always marked separately from our organic editorial picks.

Here is a straightforward explanation of the process:

1. You see a product or tool on Surfaced that catches your eye
2. You click the link, which may contain an affiliate tracking code
3. You are taken to the product's website where you can learn more or make a purchase
4. If you make a purchase, the retailer pays Surfaced a small referral commission
5. You pay the exact same price you would have paid without the affiliate link

Common affiliate networks we participate in include Amazon Associates, Impact, ShareASale, and direct brand partnership programs. Each program has its own commission structure, but none of them increase the cost to you.

We commit to the following practices:

• Clear labeling — Affiliate links and sponsored content are always identified
• Honest reviews — We share both pros and cons of every product we feature
• Editorial firewall — Revenue decisions never influence editorial decisions
• Open communication — If you ever have questions about a recommendation, just ask us
