How we earn
CinchStack is free to read and carries no advertising. It is funded by affiliate commissions: when you sign up for some tools through a link on this site, the vendor pays us a share of what you pay them. You pay the same price either way.
How to tell which links pay us
- Amber buttons are affiliate links, and each carries a “Paid link” note beside it. If you sign up through one, the vendor may pay us.
- Plain buttons and ordinary text links do not pay us anything.
- Any page with an amber button says so near the top, before the first link.
Affiliate links carry the rel="sponsored" attribute, as search engines ask.
The programs
This table is generated from the same file that controls the links, so it is always current. A vendor’s links turn amber only once we have been approved by its program and hold a working link.
| Vendor | Status | Links on this site | What the program pays |
|---|---|---|---|
| GoHighLevel | Approved (19 August 2026) | Amber affiliate buttons | 40% of every recurring subscription a referred customer pays (HighLevel plans, the White Label Mobile App, certifications, AI Employee and other recurring add-ons) for as long as they keep an active paid subscription; 5% on second-tier referrals. |
| HubSpot | Applied, waiting | Plain links, no commission | We have not joined this program. |
| Shopify | Not joined | Plain links, no commission | We have not joined this program. |
| Systeme.io | Approved (27 September 2026) | Amber buttons on Systeme.io's own pages only; plain links elsewhere, as its terms require | 60% of every sale, recurring for as long as the customer stays subscribed; a lead who signs up through our link stays ours for life (last-cookie attribution). |

Rules we hold ourselves to
- Commission never sets a price, a score or a pick. Prices come from the vendor’s own page. When a tool pays us, or runs a program we have joined or may join, we publish the lower of our two independent scores, as described in our method.
- A paid pick is never shown alone. Wherever we recommend a tool that pays us, the highest-scored alternative is shown beside it.
- We recommend tools that do not pay us whenever they are the better fit, and we say when you need no paid tool at all.
- No earnings claims and no invented discounts. We never promise that a tool will bring you income or customers, and we only mention an offer when the vendor publishes it.
Wording some programs require
Some affiliate programs require us to publish specific wording. It appears here and on every page that links to that vendor with an affiliate link.
HighLevel (GoHighLevel) affiliate program:I am an independent entity from HighLevel. I am not an agent or employee of HighLevel and have no authority to make any binding commitment on behalf of HighLevel.
