How We Make Money
SpannerBot is a free resource. We earn money through affiliate partnerships with some of the software companies we review and recommend.
When you click certain links on our site and sign up for a product, we may receive a commission from that company. This comes at no additional cost to you — the price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the company.
Our Editorial Policy
Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial content. Here's how we maintain independence:
- We test everything ourselves: Every tool we recommend has been tested on real jobs by our team
- We include negatives: Our reviews always cover downsides and limitations, not just positives
- We recommend competitors: If a non-affiliate product is better for your situation, we'll tell you
- We disclose relationships: Affiliate links are marked with appropriate disclosures
Which Links Are Affiliate Links?
Links to the following types of products may be affiliate links:
- Job management software (Tradify, ServiceM8, Jobber, etc.)
- Accounting software (Xero, FreeAgent, QuickBooks)
- Other business tools and services
Affiliate links are typically marked with "Try Free", "Get Started", or similar calls to action, and include rel="sponsored" attributes in the HTML.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Affiliate income allows us to:
- Keep SpannerBot free for all users
- Spend time thoroughly testing software
- Create in-depth guides and resources
- Maintain and update content regularly
