Affiliate Disclosure

Our Commitment to Transparency

SpotlightTool (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to full transparency about how we operate and how we earn revenue. This page explains our use of affiliate links in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and applicable advertising disclosure laws.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Some of the links on SpotlightTool are “affiliate links.” This means that if you click on one of those links and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may receive a small commission or referral fee — at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is always the same whether or not you use our affiliate link.

Which Programs We Participate In

SpotlightTool participates in affiliate programs offered by various tool vendors, including but not limited to:

• AI writing and productivity tool affiliate programs (e.g., Jasper, Writesonic, Copy.ai, Grammarly)
• Design and creative tool programs (e.g., Canva, Midjourney)
• SEO and marketing tool programs (e.g., Semrush, Surfer SEO)
• Automation and productivity platforms (e.g., Zapier, Make.com, ClickUp, Notion)
• AI chatbot and productivity tool programs (e.g., OpenAI/ChatGPT)
• Other tool vendor affiliate programs we may join from time to time

Affiliate links are typically identified with tracking parameters in the URL (e.g., ?ref=spotlighttool, ?via=spotlighttool, or ?fpr=spotlighttool).

How This Affects Our Reviews

Our editorial independence is non-negotiable. Affiliate relationships do not influence our reviews, ratings, or recommendations. We only recommend tools we genuinely believe provide value to our users. Tools are rated based on features, pricing, ease of use, and real-world performance — not on commission rates.

We may sometimes review tools that have no affiliate program at all, and we will never recommend an inferior product simply because it pays a higher commission.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the FTC’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, SpotlightTool discloses all material connections to the products and services we review or recommend. This page serves as our site-wide disclosure. Individual tool pages and comparison articles may also include inline disclosures for clarity.
