How We Earn Revenue
3D Printer Prices is a free service. We do not charge users for access to our comparison tools, buying guides, or data. To keep this site running and continue improving our tools, we earn revenue through two channels:
- Amazon Associates Program — We earn a small commission when you purchase a product through our affiliate links.
- Display Advertising — We display advertisements through Google AdSense.
Amazon Associates Program
3D Printer Prices is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
When you click a product link on our site and make a purchase on Amazon, we may receive a small referral commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go to Amazon directly.
What This Means for You
- You pay the same price — Our affiliate links do not add any markup or hidden fee to the product price.
- It supports our work — The small commission we earn helps cover hosting costs, data processing, and continued development of free tools.
- You are not obligated — You can always search for the product directly on Amazon if you prefer. We will never pressure you to use our links.
Editorial Independence
This is the most important part of our disclosure:
Affiliate commissions have zero influence on our product rankings, scores, or recommendations.
Here's why you can trust our data:
- Every product in our database carries the same affiliate tag. There is no financial incentive for us to rank one product higher than another.
- Our ranking algorithm evaluates products based on objective criteria: price, user ratings, review count, specifications, and feature analysis. The algorithm has no knowledge of commission rates.
- We do not accept paid placements. Manufacturers and brands cannot pay to appear in our top picks or receive favorable scores.
- Our scoring methodology is fully documented and transparent. You can see exactly how scores are calculated.
Advertising
This site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Ad content is determined by Google based on your browsing activity and interests. We do not control which ads appear, and displaying an ad does not constitute an endorsement of the advertised product or service.
Product Data Accuracy
Product prices, ratings, and availability information displayed on our site are sourced from Amazon and are subject to change at any time. While we update our data daily, we cannot guarantee real-time accuracy. Always verify the current price on Amazon before making a purchase decision.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on affiliate marketing and endorsements. We believe in full transparency about how we earn revenue, and this page is intended to clearly disclose our material connections with Amazon and other advertising partners.
