Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: October 30, 2026
OnlyCrates is reader-supported. Some links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you subscribe or buy through them, including through Cratejoy and other partner programs. This never costs you more, and it doesn't change how we list or rate boxes: rankings are based on reviews, value and our own research.
How this works
OnlyCrates is a directory. When you leave through a Subscribe Now button or another affiliate link and then subscribe or buy, the merchant or its affiliate network may pay us a commission. That commission is paid by the partner. It is not added to your price, and you can subscribe on the merchant's site without using our link.
Which programs
We participate in affiliate networks and merchant programs, including Rakuten Advertising and Cratejoy, along with other partner programs and tracked links from individual subscription-box brands. Not every outbound link earns a commission. When it does, the link is an affiliate link.
How links are marked
Affiliate links, including every Subscribe Now button, are marked
rel="sponsored" (and nofollow, opening in a new tab). A short
commission line sits directly under each of those buttons, and guides and collection
pages that recommend boxes carry a brief note near the top. The same disclosure is in
the footer of every page.
Rankings
An affiliate relationship does not buy a better spot. We list and rate boxes using reviews, value, and our own research. A box we do not have a partnership with can still rank above one we do.
