Legal
Affiliate disclosure.
Transparency is important to us. Here's how we keep ClarUP free while providing you with the best career guidance.
How We Keep ClarUP Free
ClarUP is free to use because we earn commissions from our education partners when you enroll in courses through our links. This doesn't cost you anything extra — the prices are the same whether you click through our site or go directly to the provider.
What This Means for You
- Same Price: You pay the exact same price as you would if you went directly to Coursera, Udemy, or any other platform.
- Commission to Us: The course provider pays us a small percentage for referring you.
- Clearly Marked: All affiliate links are marked with an external link icon () and include "rel=sponsored" as required by Google.
Our Commitment to Honesty
We never recommend a course just because it pays us more. Our recommendations are based on:
- ✓ Course quality and user ratings
- ✓ Relevance to the specific career path
- ✓ Value for money (we prioritize free options when available)
- ✓ Real student outcomes and reviews
If a course doesn't have an affiliate program, we'll still recommend it if it's the best option for you.

- Coursera Partner Program
