Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 17, 2026
In Plain English
Some links on Exit-Saas.io are affiliate links. This means if you click on a link and sign up for a service (like hosting), we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep the site running and continue providing free, high-quality content.
Full Disclosure Statement
Exit-Saas.io is a participant in various affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to third-party websites and services.
This means that when you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may receive a commission. This commission comes at no additional cost to you and, in many cases, you may even receive exclusive discounts or credits through our affiliate partnerships.
Our Affiliate Partners
We currently participate in affiliate programs with the following companies:
DigitalOcean
DigitalOcean is a cloud infrastructure provider. When you sign up through our referral links, you receive $200 in free credits, and we earn a commission when you become a paying customer.
Hetzner
Hetzner is a European hosting provider known for affordable dedicated servers and cloud services. We may earn a commission when you sign up through our links.
Other Partners
We may partner with additional hosting providers, software tools, and services in the future. This page will be updated to reflect any new partnerships.
Our Commitment to You
We want to be completely transparent about how we operate. Here are our commitments:
- Honest Recommendations: We only recommend products and services that we believe provide genuine value. Our recommendations are based on quality, not commission rates.
- No Extra Cost: Using our affiliate links never costs you extra. In most cases, you'll receive the same price or better discounts than going directly to the provider.
- Editorial Independence: Our content and tool recommendations are not influenced by affiliate relationships. We evaluate all open-source alternatives based on their merits.
- Clear Labeling: We strive to clearly indicate when content contains affiliate links through disclosure banners and statements.

FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255 guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising, we want to make it clear that we may receive compensation for links, posts, and product reviews on this website.
