We think you deserve a straight answer about how a free comparison site makes money. Here it is.
The short version
We earn affiliate commissions when you click through to a tool and sign up. The provider pays us a small referral fee; you pay nothing extra. That revenue keeps CompareMyAI free and independent.
Why this model
We chose affiliate revenue deliberately, because it's the only model that keeps our incentives aligned with yours. We don't charge users. We don't sell rankings. We don't take payment from vendors to appear or to score higher.
That means our only job is to help you find the right tool — because we only succeed when you find something genuinely worth using.
The firewall between money and rankings
There is a hard line between our revenue and our editorial decisions:
- Scores are calculated from consistent, published criteria — applied to every tool equally
- Affiliate relationships have zero influence on rankings, scores, or inclusion
- Tools we earn nothing from are ranked exactly like those we do
- Vendors cannot pay for placement, edit their listings, or influence their scores
What we'll never do
- Accept payment for a better ranking
- Hide an affiliate link
- Let a commission change our verdict
The day we do any of those, we stop being useful — and being useful is the entire point.
