Pikkero

Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: April 25, 2026

Pikkero is a participant in affiliate programs run by some of the SaaS tools we cover. When you click an outbound link to a vendor and sign up or pay, we may earn a referral commission at no extra cost to you. This page explains exactly how that works and how we keep our verdicts independent.

How affiliate links work

Some "Visit", "Try", and pricing-page links on Pikkero pass through our affiliate URL with the vendor. The price you pay is the same as if you went to the vendor directly. The commission, when it applies, is paid out of the vendor's marketing budget — not your pocket.

Not every link is an affiliate link. We only sign up for affiliate programs with vendors we'd recommend regardless of the commission. When a tool belongs in a comparison and the vendor doesn't have an affiliate program, we link to them anyway.

Commissions don't move the verdict

Our editorial independence is the only thing of value we have. So:

  • Rankings are based on the criteria stated in each article (price, features, fit), not on commission rate.
  • If a non-paying vendor wins a category, we say so. There are pages on Pikkero where the top recommendation pays us nothing.
  • If a vendor stops paying, the article doesn't change. If a vendor offers us a higher commission to climb the ranking, we say no.
  • We never accept payment for a positive review or for omitting criticism.

How to spot an affiliate link

Affiliate links typically:

  • Pass through pikkero.com/api/out/ on click.
  • Include a tracking parameter (e.g. ?ref=pikkero) on the destination URL.
  • Are labelled "Visit X", "Try X", or appear next to the per-tool deep dive.

Internal links between Pikkero pages are not affiliate links.

FTC and disclosure compliance

This page satisfies the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's endorsement guides and similar transparency rules in other markets. Individual articles also note the affiliate relationship at the top when material to the verdict.

Questions

If you spot a link that looks like a paid placement disguised as a verdict, or you have any other concern about our independence, email [email protected]. We'll respond and, if there's a problem, fix it publicly.
