Affiliate disclosure
Mac Apps Daily is reader-supported. This page explains when the site may earn money from an outbound link and how commercial relationships are kept separate from editorial decisions.
Two kinds of commercial relationship
- Affiliate links may earn Mac Apps Daily a commission. They do not change what you pay and do not affect where or whether an app is listed.
- Sponsored listings are paid placements bought by a developer. They are always labelled “Sponsored” and are governed by our terms of use.
What an affiliate link means
Some links to Mac software developers, marketplaces and distributors are affiliate links. If you follow one and make a qualifying purchase, Mac Apps Daily may receive a commission. This does not increase the price you pay.
How commercial links are disclosed
Affiliate relationships are explained in this site-wide disclosure and in contextual editorial notices where relevant. A normal app listing does not by itself imply a commercial relationship. Paid placements use a visible “Sponsored” label wherever they are promoted.
Editorial independence
The availability or value of a commission does not decide whether an app is listed, recommended or ranked. Many included products have no affiliate programme. Editorial picks are based on usefulness, quality, transparency and fit for Mac users.
Paid placements
Sponsored listings are handled separately, clearly labelled “Sponsored”, and do not become an editorial recommendation. Payment does not guarantee permanent inclusion or favourable coverage. Billing and refund terms are in our terms of use.
How revenue is used
Revenue helps cover hosting, storage, software, research and the time required to maintain listings. It allows the directory to remain broadly accessible without pay-to-win editorial rankings.
