This page explains, in plain English, how affiliate links work on CompareMyAI.io and the firm line we draw to keep our comparisons honest.
What an affiliate link is
Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and sign up for a tool, we may earn a small commission from that provider — at no extra cost to you. It's the same model used by price comparison sites across travel, insurance, and finance. It's how we keep CompareMyAI free to use.
Where they appear
Affiliate links are clearly labelled wherever they appear — typically on “Visit site” buttons and some outbound links to tool providers. Not every link is an affiliate link, and a tool having (or not having) an affiliate relationship with us has no bearing on how it appears on the site.
Our promise
This is the part that matters most. Affiliate commissions never influence:
- Our rankings or the order tools appear in
- The scores we assign
- Which tools we include or exclude
- What we say about a tool's strengths and weaknesses
A tool we earn nothing from is treated exactly the same as one we do. We'd rather lose a commission than lose your trust.
Independence by design
Our independence isn't just a promise — it's built into how the site works. Scores come from structured criteria applied equally to every tool. Vendors cannot pay to rank higher, cannot edit their own listings, and cannot buy their way onto the site.
Questions
If anything about how we earn is unclear, or you think a link isn't labelled correctly, get in touch. We'll fix it.
