Partner with ProvenStacks
What this site is
ProvenStacks publishes profession-specific AI software guides for solo professionals: complete working "stacks" for 11 professions (freelance writers, solo consultants, real estate agents, tradespeople, Etsy sellers, freelance developers, recruiters, teachers, video editors, accountants, and therapists), plus head-to-head comparisons and a weekly newsletter. Every recommendation carries verified current pricing, FTC-compliant disclosure, and a "skip this if" warning naming who shouldn't buy.
Why our referrals are worth more than our traffic numbers
We're a young publication and we won't pretend otherwise: the site launched in July 2026 and our audience is compounding through search and email, not bought. What we offer partners instead of volume:
- Pre-qualified intent. A reader on "The AI Stack for Recruiters" is a recruiter with budget, reading your tool's exact price, plan fit, and use case before clicking. Referrals arrive knowing why they need you, which converts to activation and retention, not trial churn.
- Listings that stay accurate. We re-verify vendor pricing monthly and re-test stacks on a 90-day public cycle. When Surfer restructured plans and CompanyCam changed pricing, we corrected within a day and logged it publicly on our re-test log.
- Credibility that transfers. We publish the full commission table, including top picks that pay us nothing. Readers trust the recommendation because the money is visible, and that trust carries onto the tools we endorse.
The rules (they protect you too)
- No paid placements, sponsored reviews, or purchasable rankings. There is no price. This means when we recommend you, readers know it wasn't bought.
- Rankings are locked before commission terms are considered, and they survive them: when one partner's program closed, its ranking didn't move.
- Every claim verifiable. Methodology at how we test; changes logged at the re-test log.
How to work with us
If your tool serves one of our 11 professions: send your program details, current solo-tier pricing, and a trial account if you'd like it considered in a future re-test cycle to contact@provenstacks.com. We pay for our own subscriptions during evaluation. Vendor-gifted accounts don't buy coverage, but trial access speeds up honest assessment. Preferred commission structures: recurring revenue share; we also work with per-signup bounties.
If we already recommend you: check your listing's accuracy. If your pricing or plans changed, tell us before our monthly sweep catches it: contact@provenstacks.com reaches the person who edits the page.
