Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: May 8, 2026
The plain version
AI Service Atlas participates in affiliate programs. When you click certain outbound links to AI tools and then sign up or purchase, we may earn a commission. This costs you nothing extra. It is how we fund the editorial work of maintaining the directory.
How affiliate links work on this site
- Outbound links to tools we list are routed through our
/go/[slug]redirector, which adds the appropriate affiliate tracking parameter and forwards you to the partner tool's website. - Every affiliate anchor uses
rel="noopener nofollow sponsored"per the FTC's endorsement guidelines and standard search-engine recommendations. - Our Privacy Policy describes what we log on the click event (a salted hash of your IP — never the raw IP).
- Search engines do not index
/go/URLs (per ourrobots.txt) — affiliate redirect URLs do not appear in Google.
Editorial independence
Our tool listings, ratings, and recommendations are independent of affiliate relationships:
- Tools are selected and described based on editorial review, not commission rates.
- We list and recommend tools that do not pay us when they are the best fit.
- We exclude tools from recommendations — even ones that pay commission — when they are not a good fit for the user's stated needs.
- We mark discontinued tools and update descriptions when products change, regardless of affiliate status.
- We do not accept payment for placement, ranking, or favorable review. There is no "sponsored top spot" on this site.
How we make money
- Affiliate commissions from select tool partners when you sign up or purchase via our links. This is our primary revenue model.
- We do not run display advertising.
- We do not sell data. See our Privacy Policy.
FTC compliance
This disclosure is provided in compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255). We have made the disclosure visible in the site footer so it is reachable from every page.
