Affiliate disclosure
How StatementBench earns money from affiliate links, how those links are labeled, the rules that keep commissions away from results, and the current list of relationships.
The short version
Some links on StatementBench may be affiliate links. If you click one and buy, the vendor pays StatementBench a commission, at no extra cost to you. Every such link is labeled "(paid link)" right beside it, and any page with one says so at the top, before the first link.
Current relationships
This list is generated from the same partner registry the site uses to build its links, so it always matches what the pages do.
| Vendor | Relationship | Network |
|---|---|---|
| DocuClipper | None: links are plain, unpaid links | |
| Docparser | None: links are plain, unpaid links | |
| FreshBooks | None: links are plain, unpaid links | |
| Zoho Books | None: links are plain, unpaid links | |
| QuickBooks Online | None: links are plain, unpaid links | |
| PandaDoc | None: links are plain, unpaid links | |
Rules
- Labels sit beside the link. Every paid link carries a visible "(paid link)" label next to it and is marked
rel="sponsored"for search engines. "Affiliate link" in a footer is not enough, and the site doesn't rely on it. - Commissions don't decide results. Benchmarks follow the published methodology, and the same scoring code runs on every tool whether or not it pays a commission. A vendor that pays a commission can still finish last, and the result will say so.
- No paid placement. Vendors cannot pay to be included, ranked, reviewed or left out.
- Recommendations come with their conditions. Where a page says a paid tool is worth it, it also says when it isn't, and the free alternative is on the same page.
- No fake reviews. StatementBench doesn't publish testimonials or reviews from anyone other than its author, and never uses AI-generated ones.
- Free tools stay free. The converters and calculators on this site don't require an account or a purchase, and they never upload your files.
These rules follow the US Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides and the FTC rule on consumer reviews and testimonials (16 CFR Part 465).
Questions
If a link isn't labeled when it should be, please report it through the about page. It will be fixed and the fix noted.
