Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: July 2025
Streaming Builder is committed to transparency about how we earn revenue. This page explains our affiliate partnerships and how they support our free service.
Our Core Principles
Transparency
All affiliate links are clearly marked and disclosed
Honest Reviews
Our opinions are never influenced by commission rates
User First
We recommend what's best for you, not what pays most
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special URLs that allow us to earn a small commission when you sign up for a streaming service through our site. This doesn't cost you anything extra - the price remains exactly the same whether you sign up through our link or directly.
How It Works:
You click a "Sign Up" or "Learn More" button on our site
You're redirected to the streaming service's official website
If you sign up, we may earn a small commission from the service
You pay the same price and get the same service
Important: Affiliate commissions never affect the price you pay. The streaming service covers this cost as part of their marketing budget.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Affiliate commissions help us keep Streaming Builder completely free for users while covering our costs and funding improvements to the service.
What We Fund:
- Website hosting and maintenance
- Database and server costs
- Regular price and feature updates
- New features and improvements

What We Don't Do:
- Charge users any fees

- Favor services that pay more
- Hide non-affiliate options
- Inflate pricing or ratings

We partner with streaming services that offer affiliate programs. Not all services have affiliate programs, but we include them all in our comparisons regardless.

Coverage Promise: We include all major streaming services in our comparisons, whether they have affiliate programs or not. Your choice should be based on value, not our revenue.
How We Maintain Editorial Independence
Equal Treatment
All services get equal prominence in our comparisons. We don't prioritize affiliate partners in our recommendation algorithm or featured placement.
Honest Recommendations
Our wizard and comparison tools recommend based on your needs and preferences, not commission rates. We'll recommend Netflix over an affiliate partner if it's better for you.
Clear Labeling
Every affiliate link is clearly marked with visual indicators and disclaimers. You'll always know when a link earns us a commission.
Regular Reviews
We regularly review our partnerships and may drop affiliate relationships if they conflict with providing honest, user-focused advice.
