Editorial Policy & Affiliate Disclosure
Last Updated: January 2026
At BizSoftScout, trust is our most important asset. We want to be 100% transparent about how we make money and how we write our content.
How We Make Money
BizSoftScout is a reader-supported publication. This means:
- Affiliate Links: Some of the links on our website are “affiliate links.” If you click on a link to a software product (like Jobber or Gusto) and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission.
- No Extra Cost to You: This commission comes from the software company, not you. In fact, using our links sometimes unlocks special discounts for you.
Our Editorial Standards
Making money never changes our opinion. We follow a strict code of conduct:
- No Pay-for-Play: Software companies cannot pay us to write a positive review. If a tool is bad, we will tell you it is bad.
- Objective Testing: We judge software based on features, pricing, and ease of use for small business owners.
- Independence: Our writers work separately from our business team.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Running a high-quality website costs money (hosting, research tools, writers). Affiliate commissions allow us to keep our content free for everyone. We do not use paywalls or charge subscription fees.
If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us.
