How we make money

Last updated November 2026

PeopleOps Guide is free to read. To pay for it, some links to software on our site are affiliate links: if you click one and later buy, the company may pay us a commission. It costs you nothing extra.

What this means for our rankings

  • Tools are ordered by our published scoring method. We score tools before we look at whether they have an affiliate program.
  • We include tools that don’t pay us when they deserve a place, and we say when a tool without a program is the better choice.
  • Every tool gets honest cons, including the ones that pay us.
  • Companies can’t pay to be included, to rank higher, or to review a page before it’s published.

How to spot affiliate links

Any page that contains affiliate links says so near the top, before the first link. Templates and guides usually contain none.

Advertising

We don’t run display ads or sponsored posts today. If that changes, this page will say so, and sponsored content will always be labeled.
