Editorial Policy

Last updated: August 2026

SaaSPilot publishes software reviews and buying guides. This page sets out how we produce them, what we will and will not claim, and how to correct us. It is a short page because the policy is short: we would rather do a small number of things accurately than a large number of things quickly.

How we research a review

Every article begins with the vendor’s own material — the current pricing page, plan comparison tables, help documentation, and any official announcements about product or plan changes. Where a figure appears in an article, it came from one of those sources, not from another publication’s article about that product.

We treat third-party roundups as a way of finding a vendor’s official page, never as a source for pricing, plan limits or feature availability. A great deal of software content online is other people’s out-of-date numbers copied forward.

Where vendors contradict themselves — and they do, frequently — we say so rather than picking whichever figure is more convenient. If a company’s own about page and its own newsroom give different user counts, our article tells you both and tells you not to treat either as precise.

First-hand use versus research

Every article states, at the top, whether it is based on hands-on use of the product or on research.

Where we have used a tool ourselves, we say so and describe what we did with it. Where we have not, the article is presented as research and says so plainly. We will not write “after testing this for six months” about a product nobody here has opened.

This distinction matters more than it sounds. Software review content routinely describes testing that did not happen, and a reader has no way to tell the difference. Stating it explicitly is the only version of this we are willing to publish.

Dates and corrections

Software pricing changes constantly. Every article carries a publication date, a last-updated date, and a note of the month its figures were verified. If an article says August 2026, that is when a person read the vendor’s pricing page.

We will be wrong sometimes. When we are, tell us and we will correct the article and update its verification date. Corrections are made in the article itself rather than quietly, and we would rather hear about an error than have it sit there. Report anything you find via our contact page.

Ratings

We do not publish star ratings, scores out of ten, or “editor’s choice” badges.

Those numbers are only meaningful if there is a stated methodology behind them, applied consistently, by someone who has actually used the products being scored. We do not currently have that, so we do not publish the numbers. If we introduce a scoring system later, the methodology will be published on this page first, and it will explain exactly what is being measured.

Affiliate links and editorial independence

SaaSPilot intends to earn revenue through affiliate commissions. Our Affiliate Disclosure states exactly which programs we currently participate in and is kept current.

Two commitments govern how that interacts with what we publish.

Commission never determines coverage, ranking or conclusion. We recommend tools that pay us nothing where they are the better answer, and we say plainly when a product is overpriced, poorly suited to a reader, or beaten by a competitor — including products we earn from.

Affiliate links appear only where a reader would want the link anyway: to check current pricing, view plans, or start a free trial. We do not insert links into body text to raise click volume, and we do not add calls to action that the article does not need.

Sponsored content

We have not published any sponsored content. If we ever accept paid placement, it will be labelled “Sponsored” at the top of the article and will be clearly distinguishable from editorial coverage. No vendor has paid for coverage, reviewed an article before publication, or influenced a recommendation.

Who is responsible

SaaSPilot is written and edited by Nabaraj Wagle. Every article carries a byline. You can read more about how the site is put together on our About page, and questions about anything on this page can go to our contact page, where they will be answered directly.
