## How we make money

Lander Report is free to read and reader-supported. Here is exactly how it pays for itself.

### Affiliate commissions

Some of our links to the tools we cover are affiliate links. If you click one and sign up, we may earn a commission. It costs you nothing extra, and the price you pay is the same as if you had gone to the vendor directly. That commission is what funds the research.

### What it does not buy

A commission does not move a tool up the ranking, add it to a list, soften a verdict or remove a drawback. We rank the same way whether a tool has an affiliate program or not, and some tools we cover pay us nothing. When a tool has no affiliate link, we simply do not link out to it, and the page still has to read correctly.

### How it is marked

Affiliate links carry a sponsored tag, and every page that has one shows a disclosure line above the first link. You never have to guess which link earns us a commission.

The full standards behind this are in our [editorial policy](/editorial-policy).

We may earn a commission when you buy through links on this page. It never affects our rankings.
