We earn commissions when you sign up through links on this site — at no extra cost to you.
InfraTally participates in affiliate programs with cloud and SaaS providers. This means that when you click certain links on this site and make a purchase or sign up for a service, I may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
I want to be straightforward about how this works and what it means for the content you're reading.
Some of the "Get Started" and "Try Free" buttons on the tools and articles on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and sign up, the provider pays me a referral fee. The price you pay is identical whether you use my link or go directly to the provider's website.
Not every provider I cover has an affiliate program. AWS, for example, does not offer one. I link to AWS anyway because it belongs in any honest comparison of cloud hosting options.
It doesn't. The calculator on this site shows you actual pricing data for every provider, ranked by cost for your specific inputs. If AWS comes out cheapest for your workload, the calculator will say so. If Vultr wins, it says Vultr. The math doesn't care about commissions.
My recommendations in articles are based on research, published pricing, and documented feature comparisons. I have 30 years of IT experience, including deep hands-on AWS work and have done deep research on the other providers covered here. I call out weaknesses alongside strengths because that's what's actually useful to you.
