What a Sideperk source check actually means
How I separate personal experience from product research, explain free software and paid plans, and handle old listings and corrections.
A Tyler’s Pick means I use the tool. A source-check date means its published information was reviewed. Those are different things, and I want that difference to stay clear on Sideperk.
I’m a marketer who builds websites and digital projects. This collection grows out of that work, alongside useful products I come across while researching something else. Some pages are firsthand project stories. Others explain a product or compare its terms. A place in the collection isn’t automatically a personal recommendation.
What the product pages cover
The starting point is the provider’s own product information, pricing and relevant terms. The listing brings together what the tool does, the allowance or access on offer, who qualifies, what is paid upfront and what happens afterwards. Restrictions belong beside the benefit they change, rather than hidden at the bottom.
Free software, a free plan and a free trial mean different things here. Software can have no licence charge while still needing a server or a paid model connection. A free plan can have recurring limits. A trial can end in a paid subscription. The label alone doesn’t explain the cost of using it.
What comes from my own work
The project articles describe things I’ve built and the problems I ran into. Where I have a result to show, it belongs in the story: an image, a working page, a short video or an explanation of the change that made something usable. A provider’s feature list doesn’t establish how well that feature worked for me.
I use AI to help with research and drafting. That assistance doesn’t turn reading a pricing page into trying a product, or turn a generated paragraph into a memory. Tyler’s Picks are based on my own use; the reference articles are labelled separately.
Why an older listing can still have a page
A source check is a dated record, not a live promise from the provider. Listings have a review interval. When it passes, the site removes them from current collection grids until they’re rechecked. Their direct pages can stay available with a recheck notice, so an existing link still has somewhere useful to go.
An expired campaign is kept apart from current offers. A change to a product doesn’t automatically rewrite every guide that mentions it; those pages need a separate editorial update. Sideperk isn’t continuously monitoring every price or account restriction.
Corrections and commercial interests
I own and edit Sideperk, which is operated by MorpheOS Ltd. Paid coverage cannot buy an independent recommendation. Where I feature something I make, that relationship needs to be clear too.
Corrections reach me at hello@sideperk.co.uk. The page address and the source showing what changed are useful, especially where a price or condition differs by account or region. A correction is part of keeping the collection useful.
