    Transparency in Our Revenue Relationships

    Updated: December 2025

    Our Commitment to Transparency

    At DESKING, we believe that trust is the foundation of any professional relationship. This disclosure outlines how we generate revenue through affiliate partnerships while maintaining our editorial independence and commitment to unbiased analysis.

    Key Principle

    Our affiliate relationships never influence our editorial content. Reviews and recommendations are based solely on technical merit, user experience, and practical business value.

    Understanding Affiliate Links

    What They Are

    Affiliate links are special URLs that track referrals from our site to software vendors and service providers.

    How They Work

    When readers purchase through our links, we may receive a commission from the vendor at no additional cost to you.

    Cost Impact

    These commissions do not increase the price you pay. They are part of the vendor's marketing budget.

    Our Affiliate Relationships

    DESKING participates in several affiliate programs relevant to our content focus areas:

    Software Platforms

    Important: We evaluate and select affiliate programs based on their relevance to our audience and the quality of their products/services. Being in an affiliate program does not guarantee positive coverage.

    Editorial Independence Guarantee

    No Pay-for-Play

    We do not accept payments for positive reviews or preferential coverage. Our evaluation criteria remain consistent regardless of affiliate status.

    Rigorous Testing

    All software and tools undergo the same four-pillar evaluation process, whether they have affiliate programs or not.
