Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 11 November 2026. ChordFlow is free to use. This page explains how the site pays for itself, in plain language.

How we earn money

ChordFlow is supported in two ways: advertising shown on the site, and affiliate links to instrument retailers and music-learning services. An affiliate link is a link to another website that tells that website a visit came from ChordFlow. If you buy something after following one, we may earn a commission — a small percentage of the sale — at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is the same either way.

What affiliate links never do

Affiliate links never change a diagram, a calculation or a recommendation on this site. A chord is C–E–G whether or not a retailer pays a commission, and a scale formula does not depend on who sells the instrument. We do not recommend a product because it pays a commission, we do not rank tools or guides by commission, and we do not let advertisers or affiliate partners edit our content. Our editorial standards are set out in our Editorial Policy.

Where you will find affiliate links

Affiliate links may appear on tool pages and in guides, where they point to retailers or learning services relevant to the instrument or topic on that page — for example, a guitar retailer from a guitar chord page, or a lesson service from a practice guide. Links to other sites are marked by their context; if you are ever unsure whether a link is an affiliate link, assume it may be one.

Advertising

Advertising shown on the site is placed by advertising partners. We do not control which specific ads appear, and an ad appearing on ChordFlow is not an endorsement of the product advertised. See our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy for how advertising partners may use cookies.
