Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: June 2026

I want to be upfront about how this site makes money, because I think you deserve to know and honestly because I'd want to know if I were you.

Some links here are affiliate links

When I write about an AI tool I use, I'll sometimes link to it. A few of those are affiliate links, which means if you click through and end up signing up for a paid plan, I may earn a small commission. It costs you nothing extra. The price is exactly the same as if you'd found the tool on your own.

It does not change what I recommend

This is the part that matters. I only write about tools I actually use, and I'm honest when something disappoints me, even when that tool has an affiliate program and the disappointing-but-no-commission alternative doesn't. Plenty of the tools I recommend most, like ChatGPT, Claude, and Midjourney, don't pay me a cent. I link to them anyway because they're genuinely good.

A commission never buys a good review. If I wouldn't recommend it to a friend, it's not going on this site.

Why I do it this way

Affiliate commissions are what let me keep writing here without stuffing the site with ads or putting everything behind a paywall. If something I recommended helped you and you used my link, thank you, genuinely. It keeps the lights on.

The legal bit

This disclosure is here to comply with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and affiliate relationships. If you ever have a question about whether a specific link is an affiliate link, email me at [email protected]and I'll tell you straight.
