About CPA Launchpad
CPA Launchpad is an independent publication about CPA marketing — the cost-per-action corner of affiliate marketing, where you are paid for a lead, an install or a signup rather than for a sale. We review the tools sold into this market and publish guides on the parts of the job that actually decide whether anyone makes money.
Why this site exists: search for any CPA product and you will find twenty near-identical "reviews" published within days of launch, all praising it, all written by affiliates who never opened it. That is not review, it is repetition. We write the version that tells you what a product does not do.
How we review
Every product assessment on this site follows the same process:
- Read the entire funnel. Front end and every upsell page, because the advertised price is rarely the real price.
- Verify the vendor. Marketplace account age, product history, refund policy. A decade-old account with an intact record means something; a three-week-old one means something too.
- Verify the pricing. Cross-checked against the vendor's own pages, and stated in full including the bundle maths.
- Separate the promise from the mechanism. What does the software physically do, and which of the buyer's actual problems does that solve? Those are usually different questions.
- Say what we did not do. If we have not run the product, the review says so in plain words, at the top.
What we will not do
- Publish fabricated income screenshots, invented testimonials or made-up case studies.
- Claim we tested something we did not test.
- Quote a statistic we cannot source.
- Remove a legitimate criticism because it costs us commission.
- Recommend a purchase to a reader whose actual problem a purchase will not fix.
How we are funded
Affiliate commission. If you buy a product through one of our links we earn a percentage, at no additional cost to you. This is disclosed on every page and in full on our affiliate disclosure page. It funds the site and it does not influence a verdict — the clearest evidence of which is that several of our pages conclude by telling readers not to buy anything yet.
Who writes this
Articles are published under the CPA Launchpad Editorial byline. We are a small research-led team rather than a single named personality, and we would rather be judged on whether the reasoning holds up than on a headshot. Where a claim depends on something specific — a price, a launch date, a policy — we cite where it came from so you can check it yourself.
Corrections
Prices change, products get updated, and we get things wrong. When that happens we update the page and log the change on it rather than editing quietly. If you spot an error, email [email protected] — corrections with a source get made the same week.
