Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: October 2026

Utility Matrix is designed to use affiliate links only after a program has approved the relationship and a tracking destination has passed our activation gates. Utility Matrix currently participates in the UptimeRobot and Better Stack affiliate programs, the Railway referral program, and the EmailListVerify, HelpSite and systemHUB affiliate programs: clearly labeled links to these providers may earn Utility Matrix a commission, at no additional cost to you, if you sign up or buy. Other programs are added only under the same rules.

Potential program relationships

Candidate programs under evaluation include deployment and infrastructure providers (such as DigitalOcean), endpoint and IT management (such as NinjaOne), security tooling (such as 1Password), and related software services. Naming a candidate does not mean Utility Matrix has been accepted by, represents, or currently earns from that vendor. When a relationship becomes active, the relevant tool page and outbound action will carry a disclosure label.

How affiliate links work on this site

Affiliate call-to-action buttons on tool pages are clearly labeled. When a slot is active, clicking the button routes through utility-matrix.com/next/ before redirecting to the vendor's site. This routing path records the referral. Signed first-party attribution cookies named __Host-um_acq and __Host-um_pump may be set after an attributed continuation or an arrival from an embedded Utility Matrix widget link (a registered embed, or a WordPress site whose administrator turned on the optional link back); each expires after seven days and contains limited source and owned-asset attribution, not tool inputs or personally identifiable information. Third-party vendors may apply their own cookies and policies after the redirect.

Editorial independence

Affiliate relationships do not influence which tools are built, how they are implemented, or what technical information is presented. The tools on this site are browser-local, open-formula implementations — they produce outputs based on documented specifications, not vendor preferences. Affiliate programs are selected based on alignment with the tools we already publish, not the reverse.

Free tier and no-cost tools

All tools on Utility Matrix are free to use and require no account. Calculations run in your browser; if you explicitly create a share-result link, Utility Matrix stores the displayed result and limited numeric/boolean fields for up to 30 days so that link can load. Affiliate vendors do not receive your tool inputs from us. The affiliate revenue model is entirely independent of the tool functionality.

Not a recommendation

Affiliate links on this site are not recommendations. The presence of a provider link does not constitute endorsement, certification, or verification of that provider's quality, reliability, or suitability for your use case. Provider links are provided for informational convenience. Any decision to engage a provider is entirely yours.
