Affiliate disclosure
Last updated 14 November 2026.
EpiFive (www.epifive.com) is free to read. This page explains every way the site earns money, so you can judge our recommendations with that in mind. It follows the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides and the Advertising Standards Council of India's guidelines on disclosing material connections.
Affiliate links
Some articles may link to software, services or products through an affiliate programme, for example through affiliate networks such as PartnerStack and impact.com. If you click such a link and then buy, EpiFive may earn a commission from the seller. You do not pay anything extra: the price is the same as going to the seller directly.
- How they are marked:an article that contains affiliate links says so near the top, and each affiliate link is labelled “(affiliate link)” next to it.
- Recommendations come first: we recommend a product because it fits the task described, based on its official documentation and pricing. A commission never decides which product is recommended, and we mention free or built-in options (for example features already included in Microsoft 365) whenever they do the job.
- No paid reviews: companies cannot pay to be reviewed, ranked or described more favourably. Advertisers and affiliate partners do not see articles before publication.
- Cookies: when you click an affiliate link, the partner network or seller may set a cookie to record that the visit came from EpiFive. See the privacy policy.
Advertising
Pages may show ads served by Google AdSense. Ads are chosen by Google, not by EpiFive, and an ad on a page is not an endorsement. Some pages, such as tools where you type passwords or personal details, never show ads.
Our own products and services
EpiFive also sells its own digital products (for example Outlook add-ins, the DMARC Monitor and Excel template packs on the products page) and offers IT services on the services page. When an article mentions one of these, it is described as an EpiFive product or service, and the article still explains how to do the task yourself.
Sponsored content
EpiFivedoes not currently publish sponsored articles. If it ever does, the article will be labelled “Sponsored” at the top and name the sponsor.
