How compensation works
Some outbound provider links can be affiliate links. If an eligible signup or purchase happens through one of those links, AutomationCosts may receive a commission from the provider.
Legal
Affiliate disclosure
AutomationCosts can earn commissions from some provider links. Commercial relationships are kept separate from workload modeling and stored pricing data.
The short version
A provider may compensate AutomationCosts for a referral.
The provider controls its own offer and purchase terms. AutomationCosts controls the calculator model and disclosure of the relationship.
What compensation does not change
Affiliate status does not change workload formulas, provider billing units, stored plan prices, fit logic, or the rule that unknown tiers remain unknown.
How links are disclosed
Pages with affiliate outbound links include nearby disclosure text. A provider can also appear on AutomationCosts without an affiliate relationship.
Editorial independence
The comparison should still make sense if the affiliate link is removed.
Pricing references are intended to reflect published provider information and the site's documented workload assumptions. An affiliate relationship does not guarantee a provider favorable placement, a lower modeled cost, or an automatic recommendation.
