Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 16 August 2026

An affiliate link carries a code identifying AIVerdict as the referrer. If you sign up for a paid plan after following one, the company pays us a percentage of that sale. The price you pay is exactly the same as it would be if you had typed the address in directly — affiliate commission comes out of the vendor's margin, not your pocket.

This is the part that matters, so we will be specific. A commercial relationship with a vendor has no bearing on any of the following:

• The score a tool receives. Scores come from a fixed rubric — output quality, speed, pricing, support and export freedom — applied identically to every tool.
• The order tools appear in. Rankings follow scores. Nobody can buy a position on a list.
• Whether we publish criticism. Every review states what the tool is bad at, including tools that pay us.
• Whether a tool gets covered at all. We choose what to review based on what readers ask about.

Affiliate income creates an obvious incentive to be generous. These are the practical steps we take against it:

• We buy every tool at full retail price on a normal plan. No free press accounts, no vendor-supplied demo environments.
• No vendor sees a review before publication. We do not send drafts for approval or accept corrections to our conclusions.
• We do not sell placements. There are no sponsored posts, paid rankings or "featured partner" slots on this site.
• We recommend tools that pay us nothing. Several current recommendations have no affiliate programme at all.

Affiliate links carry the rel="sponsored" attribute, which is the standard machine-readable signal search engines expect. In the page itself they generally appear as buttons labelled "Try Free" or similar, pointing at the vendor's own site. Internal links to our reviews are never affiliate links.

That is completely fine and it will not cost you anything to say so. Search for the tool directly, or type its address into your browser. You will get the same price and we will earn nothing — the reviews remain free either way.

If anything here is unclear, or you think a specific recommendation looks commercially motivated, tell us. We would rather answer than leave the doubt sitting there — get in touch.
