How this site earns money

The short version

Some links to tools and courses are affiliate links. If you buy through one, the vendor pays Lowkey Paid a commission at no extra cost to you. Pages that contain affiliate links carry a disclosure box above the first link.

What we control

• Rankings are decided before we check whether a program exists.
• A tool with no affiliate program can outrank one with a 50% commission.
• Disclosed links carry rel="sponsored nofollow" and open in a new tab.
• We never publish a review of a tool we have not used.

The rail rule

A commission you cannot withdraw is not income. Before recommending any tool we confirm the payout rail: network, method, minimum, currency and hold period. Programs that settle only through a partner-controlled Stripe account or a payment rail unavailable to Nigerian residents are treated as zero income — we may still teach the tool, but we will not count the commission and we will tell you why.

Programs we are part of

A live list is maintained in the repo at /affiliate-payout-rails.csv until the public table ships. Program participation changes monthly.

Advertising and sponsored content

There is no display advertising on this site and no paid placement. If that ever changes, it will be labelled as advertising on the page it appears on, and it will not affect rankings inside a comparison.

Courses we sell

Our own courses are sold through Selar. Links to them are not affiliate links, they are our own checkout. Where a course teaches a tool we also earn commission from, the page says so next to the module that teaches it.

Complaints

If a recommendation turns out badly, tell us — [email protected]. Pages that get contradicted by reality get a dated correction, not a silent edit.
