How We Make Money

Industry Software Guide is free to read. Here’s exactly how we sustain the research.

Affiliate and referral fees

When you click through to some providers and become a customer, we may receive a commission or referral fee. This comes at no additional cost to you and does not change the price you pay.

What this does not do

  • It does not determine which products we cover.
  • It does not buy a better position, rating or best for statement.
  • It does not let a vendor edit or approve our content.

Sponsored content

If we ever publish sponsored or paid placement, it will be clearly labeled and kept separate from editorial positioning. We never blend paid content into our assessments.

Lead forms

Some pages may offer a “find my software” form. We only share your details with providers when you ask us to, and we tell you who receives them.
