Affiliate Disclosure
The short version
Last updated: October 10, 2026.
Some links on this site will eventually earn us a commission if you click through and become a paying customer — but none are live yet: the only signup/demo buttons on the site right now — on the head-to-head comparison pages (Follow Up Boss vs Lofty, Lofty vs BoldTrail, and Sierra vs BoldTrail) — are disabled placeholders, so no commission is being earned anywhere on the site right now. Commissions never determine our winners — the five evidence standards do, and every page shows its evidence before its conclusions.
GoHighLevel (HighLevel): affiliate relationship we intend to have
On October 9, 2026 the site owner decided to feature GoHighLevel (HighLevel) with a review, a cost page, four comparisons (vs Follow Up Boss, vs Lofty, vs BoldTrail, vs Real Geeks) and a realtor guide. HighLevel runs an affiliate program that pays commissions on qualifying purchases, so we may earn a commission if you buy through links on those pages. No HighLevel affiliate link is live yet: every HighLevel button is a disabled placeholder. Every GoHighLevel page carries an affiliate disclosure at the top.
How we handle it: we write from HighLevel's official pages and help center only, we do not claim to have used the product, we show no ratings or scores, and we say plainly that it is a marketing-automation platform rather than a purpose-built realtor CRM. This does not change the solo, team and brokerage picks on Best real estate CRM.
Sponsored placements
Some pages carry a clearly labeled Sponsored · Affiliate box promoting HighLevel (GoHighLevel), set apart in a dashed violet frame so it is never mistaken for editorial text. They appear on the homepage, Best real estate CRM, the reviews index, the Follow Up Boss, Lofty and BoldTrail reviews, the comparison index, the budget CRM and switching guides, and the HighLevel pages themselves. A box states only facts from HighLevel's official pages, always includes a caveat that HighLevel is not a native realtor CRM, and links to our review. Placing a box on a page does not change that page's text, picks or rankings. No HighLevel affiliate link is live yet: the button in each box is a disabled placeholder. Once a link goes live it will be marked as sponsored and nofollow, and this page will say so.
How it works
- We're setting up affiliate and referral partnerships with the CRM vendors we cover. Nothing is live yet — the specific programs will be named here as they're finalized.
- A commission affects whether we earn from a link, never which product we recommend — winners are picked on the five evidence standards, not on who pays us. Only vendor signup/demo buttons are affiliate-tracked, and right now every one of them is a disabled placeholder: the only such buttons on the site are the demo links on the three head-to-head comparison pages (Follow Up Boss vs Lofty, Lofty vs BoldTrail, and Sierra vs BoldTrail) — so a commission can never buy placement. Plain reference links (pricing pages, terms of service) go straight to the vendor and earn us nothing.
- You never pay extra for using our links. Right now there are no special deals or trial extensions through them — a link just tells the vendor you came from us, so we get credit for the referral if you sign up.
What's still being set up
Our affiliate links are placeholders while partnerships are finalized. This page will be updated with the specific programs and vendors as they go live — and when a link does earn us a commission, it will be labeled so you can tell at a glance.
Our promises
- We will never rank a product higher because it pays more.
- We will never hide a cheaper or better-fitting alternative because it pays less or nothing.
- Every price we publish is checked against the vendor's own site — or, where a vendor publishes no plan pricing (Lofty, BoldTrail), against a named third-party source labeled as unverified — with the check date shown.
- If a vendor relationship ever constrained what we could publish, we'd disclose it here — and walk away from any deal we couldn't write freely about.
