Our core principles
We do not rank products purely by commission, payout or partnership availability. Commercial terms can determine whether we promote a product, but they do not answer whether the product is useful.
1. Product and audience fit
We start by defining the user, the job they are trying to complete and the constraints that matter. A product can be excellent for a small agency and a poor choice for a solo operator. “Best” without context is usually not useful.
2. Onboarding and conversion friction
We look at what happens after the click: account creation, free tiers or trials, setup requirements, payment steps and the time to a meaningful first result. A smooth demo can hide a difficult production workflow.
3. Real economics
We consider entry price, plan limits, renewal pricing, usage-based charges, seat expansion, refunds and cancellation. When a launch price is materially lower than renewal, we treat the renewal price as part of the buying decision—not fine print.
4. Terms and restrictions
Partner rules matter. Paid social, search advertising, brand bidding, direct linking and use of trademarks can each have different restrictions. We do not assume permission from the presence of an affiliate program.
5. Evidence and corrections
We use public product information, partner documentation, pricing pages and direct product use when available. If a detail cannot be verified, we prefer to label it as uncertain rather than fill the gap with a confident guess.
Commercial relationships
ScaleCurrent may receive compensation through affiliate or partner programs. That relationship is disclosed. We may also use paid media to introduce relevant users to products, subject to the partner’s traffic rules and applicable advertising policies.
Updates
Software changes quickly. Pricing, features, affiliate terms and geographic availability can change after publication. We revise material when we identify a meaningful change, but users should verify current terms on the provider’s website before purchasing.
