Legal & Compliance

Affiliate Disclosure

Full transparency matter. Here is how GoPickStack maintains editorial independence while generating revenue through referral and affiliate partnerships.

1. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Compliance

In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) 16 CFR § 255.5 guidelines regarding the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising, please assume that any outbound link on GoPickStack leading to a software provider, SaaS tool, or service may be an affiliate link.

When you click on an affiliate link on our site and subsequently sign up for a paid plan or free trial, GoPickStack may receive a referral commission from the software merchant at zero additional cost to you.

2. Editorial Independence & Non-Bias Guarantee

Our editorial scoring rubric, star ratings, pros/cons lists, and side-by-side comparison verdicts are completely independent of affiliate partnerships. Software tools cannot pay to receive a higher rating, hide negative review feedback, or falsify testing results.

  • We test and review both affiliated and non-affiliated software tools equally.
  • A software provider having an affiliate program never guarantees a favorable review or inclusion in our buyer guides.
  • Our recommendation rankings are determined strictly by usability, feature breadth, value, customer satisfaction, and real-world performance.

3. Partner Networks & Tracking

GoPickStack participates in reputable affiliate management networks and link optimization platforms, including:

  • PartnerStack (B2B SaaS Partner Network)
  • Skimlinks (Automated Link Monetization)
  • Impact.com (Enterprise Partnerships)
  • CJ Affiliate and independent SaaS referral programs

When you click on a referral link, these networks may place a standard tracking cookie in your browser to record that your visit originated from GoPickStack. These cookies do not store personal financial details or private identification.

4. Pricing Transparency

Purchasing a product through an affiliate link on GoPickStack will never increase the price you pay. In many instances, our relationship with SaaS vendors grants our visitors access to exclusive discount codes, extended trial periods, or special promo pricing.
