How this site is funded
Plain language, no hedging. If a link pays us, this page says so.
The short version
Reechly takes no payment for reviews, placement or rankings. As of the date on this page we are not yet accepted into any affiliate programme, so nothing on this site earns us a commission today. We have applied to several, and if we are accepted those links would pay us at no additional cost to you. Commissions would not change our scores, our rankings or our verdicts.
Why we say this before it is true
Most sites add a disclosure only once the money starts. We would rather publish the policy first, so you can hold us to it, and so nothing about how we are paid changes quietly. This page is updated the day any programme accepts or rejects us.
What an affiliate link is
An affiliate link is an ordinary link with a tracking code attached. When you click it, the company you land on records that you arrived from us; if you then create an account, it credits that signup to us and pays a fee out of the budget it would otherwise spend on adverts.
You are not signing up to anything different, and you are not giving us your details. We never see your name, your email address or your card — only a count of signups in a dashboard.
Which links on this site pay us
Every link that could ever earn us money goes through a path beginning /go/, such as /go/brevo/. That is deliberate: one visible pattern means you can spot a commercial link before you click it, and we cannot quietly slip a paid link into a paragraph. Those links also carry rel="sponsored nofollow", the machine-readable version of this disclosure.
Buttons like “Try Brevo free” are the links that would pay us once a programme accepts us; today they are plain outbound links to the vendor. Links to our own pages, such as our Brevo review, never pay us.
What Brevo pays us, and how
Brevo runs its affiliate programme through PartnerStack, a third-party platform handling tracking and payouts. Brevo does not pay us directly and does not see our content before publication.
It pays on two events: a fixed amount when someone we referred creates a Brevo account, and a larger fixed amount when that account becomes a paying subscription. Brevo’s published affiliate page states a 90-day cookie window, so a signup can be credited to us up to three months after the click. Rates are set by Brevo and change, so we describe the model rather than a figure that may already be stale; current terms are on Brevo’s affiliate programme page, and we cover the programme in our guide to it.
We have applied to the same programme we write about, and our application is pending. That is a conflict of interest whichever way the decision goes, and we would rather name it than have you discover it.
Which programmes we are actually in
What this costs you
Nothing. The commission comes from the vendor’s marketing budget, not your bill. You are not charged more or offered a worse plan because you arrived through us.
Links that earn us nothing
We link to platforms we have no commercial relationship with whenever they are the right answer, and to vendor documentation and research as plain links with no tracking. If the honest answer to “which should I use” earns us nothing, that is the answer we publish.
How we keep money out of the scores
- The rubric was fixed first. The weighted categories and disqualification criteria in our testing methodology were published before any scoring. We do not adjust weightings after seeing how a platform performs.
- Scores were set before we applied to any programme. Scores for every platform here were recorded before applications went in, so approval or rejection could not move them.
- A “where it falls short” section is mandatory. Every review names real weaknesses — and will continue to once some of them pay us. A page with no criticism does not get published.
- Commission rate is never an input. We do not rank by payout or compare programmes when deciding an order.
- No paid placement. We do not sell rankings, sponsored posts or link insertions — see what we tell vendors who ask.
Who we are, and the experience behind these judgements, is on our about us page. Good intentions are not a process; these rules are.
When this arrangement changes
If we join an affiliate programme, leave one, or change how we are paid, we will update this page and date the change. If it affects a particular review’s independence, that review will say so too.
Frequently asked questions
Do I pay more if I use your link?
No. You get the same price as typing the vendor’s address into your browser yourself. The vendor pays the commission; your bill is unaffected.
How do I tell an affiliate link from a normal one?
They point at a path beginning /go/ and carry rel="sponsored nofollow". Hover over a button and check your browser’s status bar. Every other outbound link is plain.
Does Brevo see or approve your review before it goes live?
No. No vendor sees our drafts, suggests edits or learns a score before publication. Disputes afterwards are treated as correction requests and checked against primary sources.
Why is the highest-paying product not automatically your top pick?
Because the ranking comes from a weighted rubric with no commission input: deliverability 30%, pricing and value 25%, automation 20%, ease of use 15%, support 10%.
