This page explains how we earn money from some outbound product links, where commercial relationships can affect listings and table order, and what stays under editorial control. It also covers the limits of scores, pricing accuracy, and the adults-only scope of this site.
How a link on this site works
You click a visit link on one of our pages.
Our /go/ redirect sends you on to the vendor's own site.
If you sign up or buy, the vendor may pay us a commission. The vendor sets the price.

How commissions work
In shortIn short: some outbound product links can earn us a commission if you sign up or buy after leaving this site.
This site is an editorial review directory. When you use certain product links here and then sign up or make a purchase on a third-party site, we earn a commission.
Product links leave this site through our own redirect path before sending you to the third party. After that point, the other company’s own terms and privacy policy apply to your visit, account, purchase, and any data you choose to provide.
We do not sell products directly on this site. We do not process your payment details, and this site has no user accounts, logins, comments, or checkout of its own.
Because this is a statically hosted site, no form on the site sends data to a server. If you need to contact us about this document, you can write to hello@aicompanion.tools.
What money does not decide
In shortIn short: commercial relationships can affect listings and order, but not the scores, drawbacks, or written verdicts.
Commercial relationships can influence which products are listed on this site and where they appear. That includes whether a tool appears in coverage at all.
What those relationships do not decide is the editorial judgment we publish about a product once we review it. Our scores, noted drawbacks, and bottom-line verdicts are set by our editors.
That means a product can appear on this site and still receive a lower score, a mixed write-up, or a clear downside. If a tool held up in testing, we say so. If it fell short on memory, voice quality, privacy options, pricing clarity, or another criterion, we say that too.
Pinned positions at the top of comparison tables can reflect a commercial relationship. Those placements can affect table order, but they do not change the score or the review text attached to a product.
Placements and labels
In shortIn short: some comparison tables can place tools in pinned positions for commercial reasons, and readers should not treat table order as the same thing as a score.
You should treat placement and scoring as separate things.
Some tools are pinned to the top of comparison tables because of a commercial relationship. As a result, the order of those tables can reflect that relationship rather than a pure highest-to-lowest editorial ranking.
A pinned position does not mean a tool received the strongest review, the highest score, or the fewest trade-offs. It means placement and review are handled as different parts of the page.
When you evaluate a listing, read the written review, the stated drawbacks, and the score itself rather than assuming the first position is the strongest editorial pick for every reader.
Scores and product changes
In shortIn short: scores are editorial opinions at a point in time, and products can change after we review them.
Every score and verdict on this site is an editorial opinion based on what we observed at the time of review or re-test. Products change over time. A tool can add or remove features, change limits, revise pricing, alter billing descriptors, tighten or loosen moderation, or redesign its free tier after our review is published.
That means a score is not a permanent fact. It is our assessment of the product as tested at that point in time.
We re-check products, including during our last full re-test in November 2026, but no review can guarantee that every setting, feature, or paywall remains exactly the same after a vendor update.
You should treat reviews here as informed editorial guidance, not as a promise about future product behavior.
Pricing and corrections
In shortIn short: pricing and feature details can go out of date, and you can report an error by email.
We try to describe pricing, free-tier limits, feature access, and platform support as clearly as possible, but those details can become outdated. A product can change its monthly price, move a feature behind a paywall, alter what appears on a billing statement, or revise deletion options without notice to us.
For that reason, you should confirm current terms on the product’s own site before you buy.
If you notice a factual error on this site, you can email us and we will review it. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to ask for access to, correction of, deletion of, or objection to the use of personal data. Contact us and we will respond.
This site also uses Google Analytics in general website-traffic measurement, loads web fonts from Google Fonts, and sets a first-party age-confirmation cookie named ai-companion-tools-age-ok with the value 1 for 365 days. Clearing cookies removes that cookie and shows the age gate again.
Adults 18+ only
In shortIn short: this site is intended only for adults, and access is gated with a first-party age-confirmation cookie.
This site is for adults 18+ only.
To limit access, the site uses an age-confirmation gate. When you confirm that you are an adult, the site sets a first-party cookie named ai-companion-tools-age-ok with the value 1. It lasts for 365 days and uses SameSite=Lax. It stores no personal data.
If you clear cookies in your browser, that cookie is removed and the age gate will appear again on your next visit.
Other than that age-confirmation cookie, this site does not set other cookies of its own. It does not use advertising or tracking pixels. Technical request data needed to deliver pages, fonts, and analytics can still be processed by the hosting provider, Google Fonts, and Google Analytics as part of serving the site and measuring general traffic.
