Podezzy is free to use. There is no account, no card and no paywall on anything published here.
Some of the links on this site point to paid software. If you sign up through one of those links, we may earn a commission. That is how the free tools are paid for.
So you can recognise one rather than having to wonder: it is any link or button that leaves Podezzy for a paid studio subscription. In practice that means the Start free button in the header, the See the full studio band at the foot of most pages, the panel that appears when a tool's free allowance is used up, and the note that appears if you ask an image tool for a resolution above the free tier.
Every one of those links carries a campaign parameter identifying the page it came from. That is how the commission is attributed, and it is also how we can see which pages are useful. It tells us the page, not the person.
Links to Etsy's own Seller Handbook, to marketplace policy pages, to the guides and to the tools on this site earn nothing. Neither does a link inside a guide that points at a print provider by name — we mention providers because you need to compare them, not because anyone paid to be compared.
It does not change the data. Every figure in every tool is read from the same marketplace snapshots regardless of who is reading it or where they came from. There is no version of a score that is friendlier to an advertiser.
It does not change what we recommend. Where a guide says a term is a bad bet, that is what the numbers said. Choosing a print provider is the clearest test of this: it works through the arithmetic and concludes that on the visible numbers the cheaper provider usually wins, which is not the tidy answer, and says so anyway.
It does not change the free tier. The allowance is not reduced to push you toward a paid plan, and no tool has ever been moved behind the wall after launch. What sits above the free tier — higher resolutions, batch runs, saved history — is stated on the tool rather than discovered when you try to use it.
It does mean you should read comparisons knowing we have a commercial interest. That is exactly why this page exists, and why the note appears on the pages themselves rather than only here.
We do not sell your email address. We do not run display advertising. We do not accept payment to change a score, remove a competitor, or write a review.
We do not track you across other websites, and we do not run cross-site advertising pixels. What is stored when you use the site is set out in full on the privacy page.
We do not publish sponsored guides. If that ever changes, the guide will say so at the top rather than in a footer.
A one-line disclosure buried in small print satisfies the letter of the rules and none of the point of them. The point is that you can weigh advice properly when you know how the person giving it gets paid — which is the same principle the rest of the site runs on, where every score says what it measures and every figure says when it was read.
If anything on this site reads as though it were written for an advertiser rather than for you, we would genuinely like to hear about it. The contact page reaches the people who write it.
