Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: April 2026

Our Commitment to Transparency

PluginMatch is committed to full transparency about how this site is funded and how that funding relates to the content we publish. This page explains our affiliate relationships and sponsored content policies in plain language.

What Is an Affiliate Link?

An affiliate link is a tracked URL that identifies PluginMatch as the source of a referral. When you click an affiliate link and subsequently purchase a product or service, we may receive a commission from the seller. This commission comes at no additional cost to you — you pay the same price you would if you visited the site directly.

Which Links on PluginMatch May Be Affiliate Links?

Links to plugin developers' websites, premium upgrade pages, or third-party marketplaces may be affiliate links. We attempt to label these clearly. When in doubt, assume a link to a commercial product may be an affiliate link.

Links to WordPress.org plugin pages are not affiliate links. WordPress.org does not operate an affiliate program.

Does Affiliate Status Affect Our Reviews?

No. Our editorial process — AI-assisted draft plus human expert review — is carried out independently of any commercial relationships. The presence of an affiliate link does not mean we recommend a plugin more favourably than we otherwise would.

If we believe a plugin has significant weaknesses, we say so in the comparison regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with the developer. Our reviewers are instructed to flag factual inaccuracies and to ensure verdicts reflect the actual plugin quality.

Sponsored Content

PluginMatch may publish sponsored comparison pages or feature sponsored plugins in category listings. All sponsored content is clearly labelled with a "Sponsored" badge. Sponsored content follows the same editorial structure as organic content but is paid for by the plugin developer or their representative.

Sponsorship of a page does not guarantee a favourable verdict on that page.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255) and equivalent regulations in other jurisdictions. We believe readers deserve to know when a financial relationship exists between PluginMatch and a product we discuss.
