Partners

Tools we use, and get paid to recommend.

This page lists the tools that keep MonkeeTools running and that we recommend to freelancers. Some links are affiliate links: if you sign up through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

The honest bit Every tool below is one we use ourselves, on a plan we'd pay for if there were no affiliate program. We turn down partnerships for tools we wouldn't use. Affiliate links are marked so you always know.

UptimeRobot

Uptime monitoring that watches our site every 5 minutes and emails us if it goes down. The free tier covers 50 monitors, which is more than a solo operation needs.

Why we list it: it's literally watching monkeetools.pages.dev right now. When something breaks at 2am, we hear about it before our users do.

We're in the process of partnering with a few more tools we use or recommend for freelancers: Toggl Track (time tracking), Wise (international payments), FreshBooks (accounting), Bonsai (contracts), and Notion. Links land here as each partnership is approved.

Free tier exists. Freelancers shouldn't have to pay to try something.
Freelancer-relevant. It solves a problem our audience actually has.
