Partnership types
Choose the right path.
| Path | Best for | What it can include | Disclosure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Affiliate program | Software with tracked referral or partner links. | Outbound affiliate links in relevant coverage. | Affiliate disclosure where material. |
| Free listing | Tools seeking directory consideration. | Standard review queue and product profile eligibility. | No paid placement label. |
| Featured launch | Products that need temporary visibility. | Priority processing and disclosed featured placement. | Featured or paid placement where applicable. |
| Sponsored review | Teams that want a produced review article. | Disclosed review with honest pros, cons, fit, and limitations. | Sponsored review label required. |
Editorial boundary: Affiliate eligibility, payment, or sponsored work does not buy a positive review, inflated rating, comparison win, or guaranteed recommendation. Read the Affiliate Disclosure, Editorial Policy, and Review Methodology.
