How We Test
What “verified” means on this site
Every guide on CourseEmailStack carries one of two labels:
- Tier 1. Steps verified against the live interface on [date]. We personally walked every click in the current product, on our own test accounts, on that date.
- Tier 2. Pricing and features verified from vendor documentation on [date]. We read the vendor’s own current pricing or help documentation and recorded it, but did not click through the live product ourselves for this specific fact.
A page is never published with a “verified” label that isn’t true. If a procedure changes and we haven’t re-walked it yet, the label stays honest about that.
Placement is never sold
No vendor pays for placement, ranking position, or a more favorable comparison. Commission rates differ substantially between the affiliate programs we use, and that difference is never an input to which tool we recommend. Our recommendation logic and comparison criteria are the same regardless of which program pays more.
We publish the negative
Every comparison on this site names who a tool is wrong for, not just who it’s right for. A guide that only ever says “switch now” isn’t independent. It’s a sales page.
No fake reviews
We do not invent user reviews, testimonials, quotes, or case studies. If a page cites a claim about what users experience, it links to a real, public source.
Questions
For legal or rights notices only: hello@coursemailstack.com. This is not a product support address. For help with a specific tool, contact that vendor’s own support.
How this site makes money
CourseEmailStack earns a commission when you sign up to some of these platforms through a link on this site. It costs you nothing extra, and the price you pay is the same as going direct.
Not every link earns. Some of the programs have accepted us and some have not, so a link that pays and a link that does not look exactly alike, and are ranked exactly alike.
This page and the line at the foot of every page are the only two places the site says this. There is no notice beside the individual links. If you want to know whether a specific button earns us anything, the honest answer is that some do, and that it makes no difference to where that platform sits in any list, chart or recommendation on this site.
