TRANSPARENCY

Disclaimer & Affiliate Disclosure

Honest, upfront, and detailed. Here’s exactly how Ladabo makes money — and where our content ends and your decisions begin.

Last updated: May 2026

⚠️ THE SHORT VERSION

Ladabo earns commissions from affiliate links. Our reviews are research-based syntheses of public sources — not personal hands-on tests. We only recommend tools we genuinely think are useful based on that research. Our content is educational, not financial advice. Always do your own research before making financial decisions.

1. Educational Content Only

Everything on Ladabo — articles, guides, reviews, calculators, comparisons — is for educational and informational purposes only.

Ladabo is NOT:

  • A licensed financial advisor or planner
  • A registered investment advisor
  • A tax professional or accountant
  • A legal advisor
  • A broker or lender

If you need personalized advice for your specific situation, consult a qualified professional licensed in your jurisdiction.

2. No Financial Advice

Reading content on Ladabo does not create a fiduciary, advisory, or professional relationship. We:

  • Do not provide investment recommendations
  • Do not predict market movements or product performance
  • Do not guarantee returns, savings, or financial outcomes
  • Do not know your personal financial situation

Past performance is not indicative of future results. All financial decisions involve risk.

3. Calculator Disclaimer

Our free calculators are simplified tools designed for general illustration. Results are estimates only and depend on the data you enter. They:

  • May not reflect tax laws in your country or region
  • Do not account for fees, market volatility, or unexpected events
  • Should not be used as the sole basis for major financial decisions
  • Are no substitute for professional advice tailored to your circumstances

4. Affiliate Disclosure

4.1 How Affiliate Links Work

Ladabo participates in affiliate programs with various AI finance software providers. When you click an affiliate link and sign up or make a purchase, we may earn a commission — at no additional cost to you.

4.2 How We Choose What to Recommend

Our recommendations are based on systematic research synthesis. For each tool we review, we analyse:

  • Official documentation and pricing pages
  • App Store and Google Play user reviews and ratings
  • Trustpilot, Better Business Bureau, and ConsumerAffairs feedback
  • Reddit community discussions and user reports
  • Expert reviews from established publishers (NerdWallet, The Penny Hoarder, FinanceBuzz, The College Investor, and others)
  • Privacy practices, ownership structure, and business model
  • Comparison against competitor positioning

We do NOT personally test these tools with our own bank accounts. Our reviews are research-based syntheses, transparently labelled. See our full review methodology for the weighted scoring system we use.

We do NOT rank tools higher because they pay higher commissions. Many tools we recommend are free, with no affiliate compensation. We sometimes recommend tools that have no affiliate program at all when they’re the best option.

4.3 Affiliate Programs We May Participate In

These include (but are not limited to):

  • Direct affiliate programs with individual SaaS companies
  • Impact.com network
  • PartnerStack network
  • ShareASale network
  • Other established affiliate networks

4.4 How to Identify Affiliate Links

Affiliate links are clearly marked where used. Look for:

  • Buttons labeled “Try [Tool]” or “Get [Tool]”
  • Disclosure notes near reviews and tool cards
  • “Sponsored” tags on any sponsored content

5. Tool Reviews

Our tool reviews are research-based syntheses of public sources, not personal hands-on tests. This means:

  • We do not personally connect our own bank accounts to the tools we review
  • Our scores are judgments derived from analysing public information (App Store, Trustpilot, BBB, Reddit, expert publishers, official documentation)
  • Tools change frequently — features, pricing, and policies may have updated since publication; always verify on the provider’s official site
  • Your experience may differ from the aggregate patterns we describe
  • Our reviews surface complaint patterns and praise patterns, not measurements from controlled tests

This approach is common among personal finance publishers and is described in detail on our review methodology page. We choose to be explicit about it because transparency about how we gather evidence is part of being honest.

6. Third-Party Content

Ladabo links to third-party websites and references third-party services. We:

  • Are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of external sites
  • Do not endorse all content on linked sites
  • Cannot guarantee the continued availability of linked tools or services

7. AI-Generated Content Disclosure

Some content on Ladabo may be assisted by AI tools as part of our editorial process. All content is reviewed by a human before publication. We maintain editorial responsibility for everything published on Ladabo.

8. Errors and Updates

We strive for accuracy but cannot guarantee that all content is error-free. If you spot an error, please email herrvalentinepereira@gmail.com and we’ll correct it promptly.

9. No Investment Solicitation

Nothing on Ladabo constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any financial product, service, or investment.

10. Jurisdictional Limitations

Ladabo’s content is written for a global audience. Specific financial, tax, and legal rules vary by country, state, and individual circumstance. Information may not apply to your jurisdiction. Always verify with local professionals.

  • Financial losses from acting on information from this website
