Affiliate Disclosure
Required by the FTC (16 CFR Part 255) and provided in the spirit of transparency.
What This Means
TryRiskFree.com participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click a link on this site and sign up for a product or service, we may earn a commission. This comes at no additional cost to you — you pay exactly the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the company's website.
How Affiliate Links Work
When you click a "Start Free Trial" or similar button on TryRiskFree, you may be taken to the company's website via a tracked affiliate link. If you sign up for a paid plan (after or instead of a free trial), the affiliate network records the conversion and pays TryRiskFree a commission. This is how we fund the site and keep listings free for users.
Affiliate links are marked with rel="sponsored" in the HTML, consistent with Google's guidelines for sponsored links.
Affiliate Programs We Participate In
We work with the following affiliate networks and programs:
- Impact — impact.com affiliate network (software, SaaS, services)
- Amazon Associates — Amazon's affiliate program
- Awin — Awin affiliate network (retail, finance, travel)
- ShareASale — ShareASale network (software, e-commerce, services)
- PartnerStack — B2B SaaS affiliate programs
- Sovrn Commerce — formerly VigLink, automatic affiliate link monetization
- Direct partnerships — individual affiliate agreements with specific companies
Not every listing is an affiliate link. We include non-affiliate listings when they represent a genuinely good option for users.
How This Affects Our Editorial Decisions
It doesn't — or at least, it's not supposed to. Here's how we keep it honest:
- Rankings are not paid — no company can pay for a higher listing position. Order is based on trial quality, terms transparency, and user value.
- Non-affiliates appear alongside affiliates — if a non-affiliate product is better, it gets listed. Commissions are a revenue model, not a curation filter.
- We list what's worth listing — a product that auto-renews users into expensive plans without warning doesn't belong here, regardless of commission rate.
- Cancellation info comes first — our core value proposition is putting cancellation info before the CTA. We don't suppress inconvenient information to protect conversions.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). The FTC requires that material connections — including financial relationships — between a content publisher and a company be clearly disclosed to readers.
