One AI Guide earns revenue in three ways: affiliate links on some outbound buttons, clearly labelled sponsored placements, and Lumi Pro subscriptions. This page explains each one and how they are kept separate from editorial decisions.
Some outbound buttons carry affiliate tracking parameters. When you click through and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships never influence editor ratings, which tools are listed, or how they are ranked. We disclose all affiliate relationships.
Tool makers can pay for a sponsored placement that raises their listing's visibility inside its category page or the homepage spotlight. Sponsored placements are always labelled with a visible Sponsored badge. They never change an editor rating, the strengths and weaknesses text, or editorial picks.
Editor ratings, strengths, weaknesses, and best-for scenarios are written before any commercial terms are considered. A tool cannot pay for a better rating or to have negative feedback removed. This policy applies regardless of affiliate or sponsorship status.
