Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated November 13, 2026

This disclosure is provided in line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255).

The short version

We may earn a commission if you sign up through links on this site, at no extra cost to you. Every article that contains affiliate links shows a disclosure notice at the top of the page.

SearchStackLab participates, or may participate, in affiliate programs run by software companies or by affiliate networks (such as Impact) on their behalf. This may include the Semrush affiliate program. When you click an affiliate link and then buy a subscription or start a qualifying plan, the vendor or network may pay us a commission. The price you pay is the same whether or not you use our link.

Affiliate links on this site are marked in the page code with rel="sponsored". Links to vendor pricing pages and documentation that we cite as sources are ordinary links unless they are clearly presented as a sign-up or trial button.

What affiliate relationships do not change

  • They do not buy a positive review. Vendors cannot pay to change a verdict, remove criticism or approve an article before publication.
  • They do not decide what we cover. We compare products whether or not they have an affiliate program, and we recommend cheaper alternatives when they fit a reader's needs better.
  • We are independent. SearchStackLab is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Semrush or any other vendor we review.

Free trials are not coupons

Where a vendor offers a free trial, we describe it as a free trial with the vendor's stated terms. We do not publish coupon codes or claim discounts that the vendor does not officially offer.
