Affiliate Disclosure

SharpScroll is an independent research publication covering the software stack for email-first creator businesses. To support our research and publishing costs, some links on sharpscroll.com and in our newsletter may be affiliate links.

When you click an affiliate link and sign up for or purchase a product, SharpScroll may receive a commission from the vendor. This comes at no additional cost to you — you pay the same price you would by going directly to the vendor’s site.

What “May Contain Affiliate Links” Means

Pages, newsletter issues, and tracker entries on SharpScroll may contain affiliate links to tools we review or reference. Not every link is an affiliate link. Where affiliate links are present, a short disclosure note appears near the top of that page or section.

Programs We Participate In

SharpScroll participates in affiliate programs including, but not limited to: beehiiv, Kit (ConvertKit), Teachable, Thinkific, Gumroad, Skool, ThriveCart, Lemon Squeezy, Systeme.io, Grammarly, QuillBot, and programs aggregated through PartnerStack and Impact. This list changes as we expand our coverage.

Our Editorial Policy

Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial verdicts. Our research methodology is fixed regardless of which tools carry affiliate programs:

  • We verify all pricing from official vendor pages and date every claim.
  • We test every free plan hands-on and take our own screenshots.
  • We publish a “Who Should NOT Use This” section in every review.
  • We never adjust a verdict to favor a higher-paying affiliate program.
  • We link to free-tier signups even when free plans carry lower or no commission.

Our business model depends on reader trust. A recommendation that isn’t right for you is a reader we lose. That alignment keeps our reviews honest.

No Extra Cost to You

Using our affiliate links does not increase the price you pay. In most cases our links take you to the same pricing page or free trial available on the vendor’s own site. We do not create artificial urgency, fake discounts, or inflated “before” prices.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 C.F.R. Part 255). A short disclosure note also appears on any individual page or newsletter section that contains affiliate links, before the first such link.
