Why we use affiliate links
Researching, testing, maintaining, and updating app reviews takes time.
Affiliate commissions are one way DropshipStack may fund ongoing research, website maintenance, product testing, and content updates.
Affiliate relationships do not determine rankings
An app does not need an affiliate program to be included, reviewed, compared, recommended, or ranked.
The availability or size of a commission does not determine:
- whether an app is included;
- its score;
- its position in a ranking;
- the winner of a comparison;
- the advantages or disadvantages we publish;
- our final editorial recommendation.
Apps without an affiliate program are evaluated under the same editorial principles.
How affiliate links are identified
Pages containing affiliate links should include a clear disclosure near the relevant recommendation or call to action.
A typical disclosure may say:
“Affiliate link — we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.”
This policy page provides additional detail, but it does not replace disclosures placed near affiliate recommendations.
Affiliate terms can change
Affiliate programs are controlled by third-party companies or networks.
Commission rates, attribution windows, eligibility rules, payout terms, supported countries, and program availability may change without notice.
We do not guarantee that any affiliate program or commission structure will remain available.
Free products, access, and commercial relationships
If an app provider supplies free access, an extended trial, a product sample, travel, payment, or another material benefit connected to coverage, that relationship should be disclosed where relevant.
Receiving access does not guarantee positive coverage.
Sponsored content
Sponsored content is different from normal editorial coverage.
Any paid placement, sponsored profile, sponsored newsletter placement, or paid campaign must be clearly labeled.
A sponsor may purchase visibility, but cannot purchase:
- a score;
- a ranking position;
- a comparison result;
- removal of legitimate criticism;
- a guaranteed positive recommendation.

Your purchase decision
DropshipStack provides independent research and editorial guidance, not a guarantee that a particular app will meet every merchant's needs.
Before subscribing, confirm current pricing, plan limits, compatibility, billing terms, cancellation rules, and other important details with the app provider.
