How we make money

Plain and simple: we recommend things, and sometimes we get paid when you act on them.

The Convergence is free to read. Some links on this site are referral links. If you sign up for or buy something through one, the company may pay us a commission, much like a salesperson who brings a company a customer. It doesn't cost you extra. We only feature tools and products we think are worth a reader's time, and we never accept payment to change what we say about them.

What this means for you

You never have to use our links

You can go straight to any company's website instead. If you do use our link, the price you pay is the same, and it helps keep this site free.

Pages with referral links say so

Any page that carries referral links shows a short note near the top that points back here. Some pages have no referral links at all.

Who pays us

Referral and affiliate programs

These pay a commission when a reader signs up or buys. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. We also take part in the eBay Partner Network. For software and business tools we may join referral programs run directly by the companies or through partner networks.
