Disclosure
TaskReports earns money in two ways, and neither way decides our ranking. This page states that in plain terms.
Sponsored placements
Some placements on this site are paid for by a vendor or an advertiser. Every sponsored placement is labelled "Sponsored" where you see it. A sponsored box is not a recommendation. It is a paid placement, and our editorial team does not let it change the order of a ranked list.
If you see a box marked "Sponsored", treat it as advertising. Read the ranked list beside it as our editorial pick. The two are kept apart.
Affiliate links
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and then buy, we may earn a fee from the vendor. That fee does not change the price you pay, and it does not change our ranking.
Where a link is an affiliate link, we mark it with rel="sponsored" in the page code. In the text, we tell you that we may earn from sponsored placements and that they never change our ranking. You can read our editorial policy for the full rule: paid status never decides rank, and we publish no paid editorial ranks.
What this means for you
We write for operations leads, agency owners and team managers who need facts to decide. A fee from a vendor does not make that vendor a better fit for your team. Our pick is the tool that fits the named buyer on the criteria we publish on our how we score page.
We check prices against vendor pricing pages, and we date each check. If a vendor changes a price, we update the page. Sponsored status does not exempt a vendor from that check.
No paid ranks
We do not accept payment for a rank, a place in a list, or a review score. We do not publish numeric product scores on researched pages. We do not let a sponsor approve our text.
If you have a question about a sponsored placement or a link on a page, contact us through our contact page. Tell us the page and the placement. We will answer and, if we made an error in labelling, we will fix it.
This disclosure follows the plain standard used by the Federal Trade Commission in the United States: if we earn from a link or a placement, we say so where you can see it, in words you can understand.
How we research
We compare tools on the same fixed criteria, from the vendor's own docs and pricing pages.
How we are funded
Some links earn a commission, but it never changes which tool ranks first.
How we keep prices current
Prices are checked against the vendor's own page and dated, so you know when they last changed.
