SaaSPilot (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website saaspilot.cloud. This page explains exactly how we make money and what that means for what you read here.
How affiliate marketing works
Affiliate marketing means a company pays a website a commission when a reader clicks through and becomes a customer. If you buy through one of our links, the company may pay us a percentage or a flat fee — at no additional cost to you. You pay the same price you would pay going direct.
Our current affiliate partnerships
SaaSPilot has three active affiliate partnerships: systeme.io, Rytr and Zoho. Bigin is a Zoho product, so links to Bigin fall under the same Zoho partnership. The affiliate links on this site appear only in the articles that cover those products — our systeme.io pricing guide; our best AI writing tools roundup, where Rytr is one of the tools compared; our Zoho CRM pricing guide, our best CRM for small business comparison and our cheapest CRMs for small teams comparison, where Zoho is one of the products covered; and our best SaaS tools for small business roundup, where systeme.io is named as the all-in-one alternative. In each of them the relationship is disclosed at the top, the link is marked where it appears, and the source citations at the bottom are plain links so you can check every figure without going through ours. Every other outbound link on SaaSPilot — every other vendor, in every other article — earns us nothing. Our other applications have either been declined or are still under review, and this page names each new partnership as it is approved.
As that changes, we will list our active partnerships here by name and keep the list current. We would rather tell you exactly who pays us than hide behind a vague statement.
Two things will remain true as we add partnerships:
- We cover products whether or not an affiliate relationship exists, and we will continue to recommend tools that pay us nothing when they are the better choice.
- Any article containing an affiliate link will carry a disclosure at the top of that page, before the content.
How we research what we publish
Our reviews are built from the vendor’s current official documentation and pricing pages, publicly available product information, and — where we have it — direct hands-on use.
We tell you which is which. If we have used a tool ourselves, we say so and describe what we did. If we have not, we say that too, and the article is presented as research rather than personal testing. We will not imply experience we do not have.
Pricing and features in the software industry change frequently. We verify figures against official sources at the time of writing and date every article, but we may miss a change — if you spot something out of date, please tell us and we will correct it.
Editorial independence
Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial opinions, our rankings, or whether we point out a product’s weaknesses. A commission has never been a condition for coverage on this site, and it never will be. Where a tool is a poor fit, overpriced, or beaten by a competitor, we say so — including when the competitor pays us nothing.
Our Editorial Policy sets out in full how we research articles, how we handle corrections, and why we do not publish star ratings.

FTC compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose material connections on any page where they exist. You will see a notice such as: “This post contains affiliate links. If you purchase through our links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.”
Sponsored content
SaaSPilot has not published any sponsored content. Should we ever accept paid placement, it will be labelled “Sponsored” at the top of the article, and it will be clearly distinguishable from our editorial coverage.
