Affiliate Disclosure
The DAM Republic is independent and vendor-neutral. Our coverage, scores, and the Neutrality Index are produced without payment from the vendors we write about. This page explains how we use affiliate links and the commitments that come with them.
1. What affiliate links are
Some links on our site — on certain vendor profiles, articles, guides, and resource pages — are affiliate links. If you click one and then sign up or buy, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the vendor.
We use any affiliate income for one purpose: to keep The DAM Republic free, independent, and free of intrusive advertising. That is the entire reason these links exist.
2. Our promise to you
Affiliate relationships never influence our ratings, rankings, or what we choose to cover. A vendor that pays us nothing receives the same honest, structured profile as one that does. Our scoring is produced independently of whether an affiliate program exists.
We only add an affiliate link where a genuine program exists. The absence of a link does not signal anything about a vendor's quality — many excellent platforms simply do not run affiliate programs. We do not gate coverage on payment, and we do not accept paid placement disguised as a review.
Where a page contains affiliate links, we mark it so you always know. Transparency is the point.
3. Questions
