We believe in being upfront about how we make money, so there are no surprises.
How we may earn
In addition to our subscription plans, Contractor Back Office may earn a referral fee, commission, or revenue share when you sign up for or use certain third-party products and services that we recommend or integrate — for example, payment processing, financing, insurance, or tools that work alongside the Service. These are sometimes called "affiliate" relationships.
What this means for you
- It usually costs you nothing extra. Where we earn a referral fee, it typically comes from the partner, not from an added charge to you.
- We recommend things we'd actually use. A partnership doesn't buy a recommendation — we aim to suggest products that genuinely help contractors, and we'll tell you when a link is a partner link where it matters.
- You're always free to choose. You can use your own tools and providers where your plan allows it; our recommendations are suggestions, not requirements.
Why we do it
Affiliate and partner income helps us keep the core product affordable and invest in building more of the back office for you. It aligns with our model: we do best when you do well.
