How Skybreak makes money
Skybreak is free to read. We pay for it with affiliate commissions: when you click through to a tool and sign up or buy, some companies pay us a percentage. It costs you nothing extra, and the price is the same whether you use our link or go direct.
What an affiliate link is
An affiliate link is a normal link with a tag on it that tells the tool we sent you. If you buy after clicking, we get a small cut. Not every link on the site is one. The ones that are get a plain label near them, and every review with affiliate links says so at the top.
What the commission changes (and what it never changes)
Nothing about the money changes a score. We pick the tools, write the verdict, and decide the ranking first, based on hands-on use. A higher commission does not move a tool up the page, and a tool that pays us nothing can still beat one that does. If we wouldn't recommend it to a creator we know, it doesn't get recommended here.
How a tool earns a spot
Every tool we score gets used on real short-form work first: actual edits, actual captions, actual uploads. We read the pricing page, we hit the limits, and we note where it falls short. We never copy a vendor's marketing. If we haven't tested it yet, we say so rather than pretend.
Sponsored or featured placements
Sometimes a company pays to be featured, or sends a tool early. When that happens, it is always clearly labeled on the page. A paid placement buys visibility, never a score and never a kinder verdict. The label is the deal: you always know what you're looking at.
Why we bother telling you
Short-form creators have been burned by fake "best tool" lists before. The whole site only works if you trust the verdict. Being plain about the money is how we keep that. If anything here ever reads like an ad we got paid to write, tell us and we'll fix it.
