Affiliate Disclosure
DevCheap is a curated directory of deals, free credits, and discounts for developer tools. To keep the site free and the editorial work funded, some links on this site are affiliate links.
What this means
When you click a "Claim Deal" button on a deal that's part of an affiliate partnership, the link goes to the provider through a tracked URL that identifies the referral as coming from DevCheap. If you sign up, start a free trial, or make a purchase through that link, the provider pays DevCheap a commission or credit. It costs you nothing extra. The price you pay is the same as if you had visited the provider directly.
The deals currently participating in an affiliate program are listed below. Every other deal on the site is a normal, non-affiliate link.
Current affiliate partners

Editorial independence
Affiliate relationships do not change the deals we list, the order they appear in, the rating we assign, or whether a deal is featured on the homepage. The Top Picks for Developers section on the homepage is curated on editorial merit. Affiliate deals are eligible for Top Picks because they are also good deals; they are not selected because they are affiliate deals.
If a deal is part of an affiliate program, the per-deal page footer carries a one-line disclosure and a link to this page. You can always tell which deals are affiliate deals: their per-deal pages have the disclosure line, and the homepage Top Picks that are affiliate deals render with a gradient accent on the left edge.
Tracking and analytics
Outbound clicks on affiliate links are tracked using a first-party endpoint that writes to a server-side key-value store. The endpoint records only the deal ID, the link type, and the timestamp. No personal data is collected. The data is used to measure which deals are useful and to compute affiliate revenue. It is not sold, shared, or used for advertising.
Questions
If you have questions about a specific partnership, want to flag a deal that shouldn't be affiliate, or want to know whether a particular link is an affiliate link, open an issue on the GitHub repository or contact the maintainer.
