Affiliate Disclosure

How we pick partners

Every partner we list has been through an internal evaluation: founder-team review of the actual product (most partners we or someone on the Bedrocka team has used in a real production context), a read of their public documentation and pricing, and a sanity check against alternatives. We decline partnerships with products we would not recommend on the merits — commission rate is never the tiebreaker.

Our affiliate cards are labeled “Editorial pick · Affiliate partner” and always carry the short-form disclosure inline with the card.

Editorial independence

Calculator logic — the algorithms, the field ranges, the dialect validations, the output formatting — is the same regardless of whether a partner would prefer a different output. Affiliate partners have no influence over calculator methodology, FAQ content, or editorial recommendations. If a partner ever asks us to tune a calculator to favor their product, we end the partnership, publicly.

Revenue transparency

The two revenue streams for this site are display advertising (Google AdSense, developer-audience programmatic networks) and the affiliate partnerships listed above. Together they fund the development of new calculators, the quarterly spec reviews, and the ongoing maintenance of the site. We do not accept sponsored posts, sponsored calculator placements, or paid-for editorial content. If that ever changes, we will add a visible disclosure on the specific page and update this policy.
