Affiliate Disclosure
The Short Version
Yes, we use affiliate links. If you click a link to a tool we review and make a purchase, we may earn a commission. This comes at no extra cost to you.
The Long Version
Open Rate Club is an independent publication. We are not owned by any email marketing giant, and we don’t have venture capital money burning a hole in our pocket. To keep the site running, pay our writers, and fund our testing (those test emails don’t send themselves), we rely on affiliate commissions.
How It Works
- We Test: We put tools through the wringer. Deliverability, UI, API checks—the works.
- We Write: We publish our honest findings. Good, bad, and ugly.
- We Link: When we mention a product, we often use an affiliate link.
Our Promise to You
We never sell our opinion.
- We do not accept payment to write positive reviews.
- We do not rank products higher just because they pay better commissions.
- If a tool has terrible deliverability, we will say so, even if they offer the highest payout in the industry.
Our reputation is our currency. If we recommend garbage, you stop trusting us, and our business dies. It is in our best financial interest to tell you the truth.
