Affiliate Disclosure — Prompts to Product

Plain-language summary: Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and complete a qualifying signup or purchase at the destination, this site may earn a commission. You pay the same price either way. Affiliate relationships do not change which tool we recommend for a given use case.

What an affiliate link is

An affiliate link is a regular link to a third-party product or service that includes a tracking parameter so the destination vendor knows you arrived via this site. If you sign up for that vendor’s service or buy their product, the vendor pays this site a commission as referral compensation. The price you pay does not change. The discount or offer you receive does not change. The product you get does not change.

Which links are affiliate links

Not every outbound link on this site is an affiliate link. Many are simply citations to vendor documentation, pricing pages, founder essays, or third-party benchmarks. Where a link is an affiliate link, we make this clear in two ways:

Inline near the call-to-action. Block-style buttons that point to an affiliate destination include a small note immediately adjacent identifying the link as an affiliate link.
In the disclosure paragraph at the bottom of every page. The footer disclosure on every page on this site states that some links may be affiliate links.

Current affiliate relationships

The list below reflects affiliate relationships in place at the time of this update. It changes when partnerships start or end. If a link on this site goes to one of these vendors and includes a tracking parameter such as ?via=, ?ref=, or an invite code, you can assume it is an affiliate link.

Lovable

AI app builder. Affiliate links use an invite code in the URL. We may earn a recurring commission on paid plans.

Beehiiv

Newsletter platform. Affiliate links use a ?via=promptstoproduct tracking parameter. We may earn a commission on paid plans.

ShipFast

Next.js SaaS boilerplate. Affiliate links use a ?via=promptstoproduct tracking parameter. We may earn a commission on the one-time license purchase.

Vercel

Frontend deployment platform. Affiliate links use a ?ref=promptstoproduct tracking parameter where present. Commission terms vary.

What these relationships do not do

Affiliate relationships do not influence the editorial position of the site:

We recommend the tool that fits the situation, even when the recommendation is for a non-affiliate competitor.
We do not accept payment from any vendor in exchange for coverage. Affiliate commissions are paid only when a reader chooses to use a vendor’s product, after a purchase decision the reader has made on their own.
We do not allow affiliate vendors to review or approve content before it is published.
Tools we cover that do not have affiliate programs (Cursor, Stripe, Claude, Supabase free tier, and many others) receive the same evaluation criteria as tools that do.

How we research and recommend

For details on how reviews and recommendations are constructed, see our editorial policy. The short version: most articles are research-based, drawing from public documentation, pricing pages, changelogs, and verified user reports. Where any first-person testing occurred, it is identified explicitly in the article.

FTC and other regulatory frameworks

This disclosure is intended to comply with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s endorsement and testimonials guidelines, the U.K. Advertising Standards Authority’s guidance on affiliate marketing, and equivalent rules in other jurisdictions where readers may be located. The principle is the same in each: when there is a material connection between a publisher and a recommended product, that connection should be clear to the reader.

Questions

If you have questions about a specific link, the relationship behind it, or the disclosure on a particular page, see the contact page. We are happy to answer.
