About Boripes and how we make money

Boripes helps small business owners find clear answers and choose the right tools.

Who is behind Boripes

How we make money

Boripes is free to read. We earn a commission when you click a link to a company and then buy or sign up. It costs you nothing extra and does not change the price you pay.

Our commercial relationships do not decide what we write or how we compare options. We explain who each type of product suits and who it does not.

How we review

We start from the job a business needs done and compare options on the same questions: ease of use, cost at different team sizes, limits on free plans, support, and who it is not right for. We base our guides on each company’s published plans, terms and help pages. Where we have not tested a product ourselves, we do not claim that we have. We update guides and show the date.

Corrections

If something is wrong or out of date, email and we will review it.

Not professional advice

We are not lawyers, accountants, tax or insurance advisers. Check important decisions with a qualified professional where you live.

Affiliate disclosure

How Boripes is funded, and how that does and does not affect what you read.

In plain words

Some links on Boripes are affiliate links. If you click one and then buy or sign up, we may earn a commission from the company. You pay the same price either way.

Why we do it

Commissions fund our free guides, tools and research. They are the reason we can keep Boripes free to read, with no paywall.

What stays independent

Commissions do not decide what we write. We explain who a product suits and who it does not, and we update guides when things change. If a better option pays us nothing, we still tell you about it.

Not officially connected

Boripes is an independent site. Unless we say so, we are not owned by, employed by or officially speaking for any company we mention. Company names and logos belong to their owners.

What we ask of you

Treat our guides as a starting point. Check the company’s own site for current prices, availability and terms before you buy.

Questions

Write to and we will answer.
