FTC Disclosure.
Affiliate relationships, in plain English.
The short version
Some of the tools we recommend pay us a commission when you sign up through our links. The price you pay is the same either way. We only recommend tools we believe in, and we will tell you when a non-affiliate option is the better fit for your situation.
What an affiliate link means
An affiliate link is a tracked URL. When you click through and become a paying customer of that tool, the vendor pays Priebe Bridge a referral commission. The amount and terms vary by vendor.
Why we do this
Affiliate commissions are how we keep the Schematic consultation free of charge. Our incentives only pay out when a recommendation is actually a fit and the tool continues to be useful enough that you keep paying for it. That alignment is intentional.
How we disclose it
We disclose affiliate relationships:
- In every Schematic blueprint, next to each recommended tool.
- In the affiliate strip below our partner marquee on the homepage.
- Verbally during the consultation, when relevant.
- On request, anytime, for any specific tool we recommend.
Which tools pay us
The active partner portfolio is roughly 19 SaaS tools. Most pay a commission; two currently do not. We will tell you which is which for any specific recommendation. A non-paying recommendation does not get a worse review — if it is the right tool, it goes in the blueprint.
Compliance posture
We follow the FTC's Endorsement Guides for affiliate marketing. For consent-based outreach (SMS, automated calls), we follow TCPA / FCC rules, including the February 2024 one-to-one consent requirement. We do not buy lead lists, and we do not pretend to be a tool we are not.
Questions or concerns
If anything about an affiliate relationship feels unclear or off, email us at team@priebebridge.com. We will explain how the relationship works and rework a recommendation if it does not pass your sniff test.
