Transparency alternatives to Skimlinks
Other Affiliate and partner marketing vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that Skimlinks does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 39 that differ from Skimlinks on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Skimlinks has 10 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Data location stated, Status page with history, Public pricing, Certifications named, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Notice before subprocessors change. The column “publishes and Skimlinks does not” is the one that closes them.
