Transparency

How We Keep This Site Running (And Trustworthy)

Transparency matters. Here's how CreateMySaaS operates, how we make money, and how we keep editorial standards high.

Affiliate Relationships

How affiliate links work here

Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you purchase through these links, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

What this means in practice:

  • We only recommend tools we've actually used or thoroughly evaluated
  • Affiliate relationships never influence our reviews or recommendations
  • We disclose affiliate links clearly (look for "affiliate link" labels)
  • If a tool pays us more but a competitor is better, we recommend the better tool

How We Choose What to Recommend

Our recommendation process

We don't recommend tools just because they have affiliate programs. Our process prioritizes your needs over our revenue.

01

We use it ourselves

Or have used it on a real project

02

We evaluate alternatives

And explain why we prefer one option

03

We consider the reader's context

Different tools fit different stages and budgets

04

We update recommendations

When better options emerge or tools change

Sponsored Content

When we do accept sponsors

We occasionally publish sponsored content. When we do:

  • It's clearly labeled as "Sponsored" or "Partner Content"
  • We maintain editorial control over the content
  • We only accept sponsorships from companies we'd genuinely recommend
  • Sponsored content is held to the same quality standards as our regular guides

Display Advertising

How on-page ads are handled

  • Some pages include third-party display ads served by Adsterra
  • Ad placements are labeled as "Advertisement" and positioned to avoid blocking core content
  • Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies for delivery and measurement

Editorial Independence

Our relationship with Heck Design Group

CreateMySaaS is produced by Heck Design Group. Our guides sometimes reference HDG's services, but we don't manufacture recommendations to drive business.

If an HDG service is relevant, we'll mention it—the same way we'd mention any useful resource. If it's not relevant, we don't force it in.
