How we make money
SaaS Dealer is free to read and free to be listed in. We earn money when someone follows an outbound link to a vendor and later becomes their customer — the vendor pays us a commission, and the price you pay is unaffected. Not every link earns us anything; many vendors in the index run no partner programme at all.
Outbound links that can earn a commission are marked rel="sponsored" in the page source, which is the standard search engines use.
What money does not buy
- A place on the list. A listing in the index is free and cannot be bought. Nothing you pay us moves a product into the catalogue, up it, into a category, or onto the homepage grid. The site also carries one clearly-labelled sponsor slot above the content and sells a slot in the weekly brief — see sponsorship. A sponsor buys attention and nothing else: not a listing, not a better position in one, not a softer description, not the removal of a competitor, not a followed link. Sponsor links carry rel="sponsored nofollow", and a sponsor's own listing sits exactly where it would have sat anyway. If that ever stops being true, this paragraph changes first. Whether a vendor pays commission has no effect on whether it appears.
- A better description. We write every entry ourselves, in the same plain register, whether or not there is money attached.
- A rating. We publish no star ratings and no review counts, because we have not run the studies that would justify them. Where we show a number, it comes from data on this site.
The one thing money does buy: the leaderboard
There is exactly one ranking on this site that is for sale, and it is sold in the open. On the leaderboard the order is the amount paid: whoever pays most is first, the price to take any position is printed next to it, and the top three also appear in a labelled band on the homepage. You cannot be misled about what a place there means, because the place is the price.
It is kept structurally separate from everything above. A bid is its own record and never a property of a listing, so deleting the entire board would not move a single product in the index. Every row is labelled "Paid placement" in visible text and never styled to look organic, and outbound links carry rel="sponsored nofollow" — a bid buys attention and clicks, never link equity or a search ranking. Nothing appears on the board until the payment has actually cleared, because a board ranking people who have not paid would be publishing a number that is not true.
About prices and offers
Most entry prices here are read by a machine directly from the vendor's own pricing page. Those listings show the date it was read and link to the page it came from, so you can check our working. Where the vendor's page could not be read automatically, the listing says the price is indicative instead of pretending otherwise.
Two honest limits. Vendors change pricing, repackage tiers and move features between plans constantly, so even a checked price is only true as of its date. And many pricing pages carry a monthly/annual toggle that our reader cannot attribute with confidence — on those we say the page did not tell us which rate the figure is, rather than guessing. Always confirm on the vendor's own page before you buy.
We do not invent discount codes. Every offer on the free plans and trials page is one the vendor publishes itself, or one we have confirmed directly. A code that does not work is worse than no code at all.
Corrections
