At Avilo, we believe in complete transparency about how we operate. This page explains our affiliate relationships, how we earn commissions, and our commitment to honest, unbiased recommendations.
When you click on certain tool links in our directory and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may earn a commission from the tool provider. This is called an affiliate partnership, and it's a common practice across the internet that helps us keep Avilo free for SMEs.
These commissions come at no extra cost to you—you pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the tool's website. In fact, we often negotiate exclusive discounts for our community members.
Avilo operates on a hybrid revenue model designed to keep our platform sustainable while serving SMEs:
Users pay $49/month for premium features, sector-specific tools, and advanced resources.
We earn a commission when users sign up for tools through our affiliate links.
This dual approach allows us to offer a robust free tier while investing in research, content creation, and platform improvements.
Our Promise: Affiliate relationships do NOT influence our recommendations.
Tools are evaluated based on features, user reviews, pricing, and real-world effectiveness—not commission rates.
We highlight both strengths and limitations of every tool. If a tool isn't right for SMEs, we'll tell you—even if it has a high commission.
Many tools in our directory have no affiliate program. We list them anyway because they're valuable for SMEs.
Our forum and review system allows real users to share experiences, providing unfiltered perspectives beyond our editorial team.
Before any tool appears in our directory, it goes through a rigorous evaluation:
Does this tool solve real problems for small and medium enterprises? Is it affordable and accessible?
Our team tests the tool's core features, user interface, and customer support quality.
We compare it against alternatives to ensure it offers genuine value, not just marketing hype.
We monitor user reviews and feedback to ensure ongoing quality and relevance.
No. You pay the exact same price whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the tool's website. The commission comes from the tool provider's marketing budget, not from your pocket.
All external links to tool websites in our directory may be affiliate links. We track clicks to measure which tools our community finds most valuable. This data helps us improve our recommendations.
Absolutely. Our reputation depends on providing honest, helpful guidance. We only recommend tools we genuinely believe will help SMEs succeed. If a tool doesn't meet our standards, we won't list it—regardless of commission potential.
No. Tool providers cannot pay to be listed in our directory or to receive higher rankings. All placements are earned through merit, user reviews, and our editorial evaluation process.
We welcome feedback! If you believe a tool is misrepresented or doesn't meet our quality standards, please contact us at [email protected]. We review all concerns seriously.
We're always looking to discover new tools that can help SMEs succeed. If your product aligns with our mission and quality standards, we'd love to hear from you.
