Affiliate Disclosure
Some articles on this site contain affiliate links, meaning that if you click through and sign up for or purchase a product, WealthyGrove may earn a commission. This costs you nothing extra; the price you pay is the same whether or not you use the link.
Where this shows up
Any article containing an affiliate link carries a visible note near the top of the piece, before you reach the link itself. There are no hidden or undisclosed affiliate placements on this site.
How this affects recommendations
The intent is to only link to products or services that would be mentioned anyway, on their merits. In practice, that means:
- A product isn't recommended purely because it pays a commission. Plenty of tools we like don't have an affiliate programme at all, and won't be linked with one.
- Where a recommendation and an affiliate relationship happen to overlap, that overlap is disclosed rather than left implicit.
- If a better free or lower-cost option exists for the same job, the article says so.
Why this matters to us
A finance site that quietly optimises for commission over usefulness stops being worth reading. It also stops being worth trusting with decisions that involve your money. Disclosure here isn't a legal formality; it's the whole basis on which this site is worth your time.
