Affiliate disclosure
If you buy software through a NorthOffice link that pays a commission, the price you pay does not change. Research is independent. Placement is not paid unless a page says so.
Updated 7 September 2026.
The short version
Links on this site go to official vendor pages. If a link later pays NorthOffice a commission, that does not change the price you pay. It is a reason to read comparisons carefully — incentives exist. The methodology explains how pages are researched and what “best” means.
Canadian advertising rules this page is written against
The federal Competition Act prohibits misleading advertising. Influencer and affiliate endorsements are expected to be clearly disclosed so a reader can see the commercial relationship. Ad Standards Canada influencer guidance says material connections (payment, free product, or commission) should be obvious. This disclosure is meant to be that notice — in plain language, on the site, not buried in a footer only.
What the links are
Product buttons are official Canadian marketing URLs (or the vendor’s public homepage when a Canada-specific URL is the same). They are not tracking URLs. If a tracked link is added later, it still goes to the vendor, and this disclosure still applies.
Where you will see this again
Money pages and the homepage carry a short disclosure near the top. Comparison call-to-action blocks repeat that a commission may apply.
Two products that do not pay here
- Wave. Included as the free invoicing and bookkeeping option. There is no Wave affiliate on this site.
- HubSpot Free and Starter. Typically do not pay a commission. Paid hubs might.
Independence
Vendors do not write these pages. If a future page is sponsored, it will say so at the top in the same plain language as this disclosure.
