Full verdict →How we review
Every tool card prints its review basis — research, docs, or hands-on — plus the date it was last verified. If we haven't touched it, we say so.
Payout reliability, link tooling, pricing fairness, learning curve. Same four axes for every tool, so a 9.2 means the same thing everywhere.
When a tool sunsets, we mark it and tell you where to migrate. ShareASale got a tombstone and an Awin map — not a quiet deletion.
