Affiliate & sponsor disclosure
Last updated: October 22, 2026
The short version: AIPicker is free and has no paywall. We pay for it in two ways: some tool links are affiliate links, and some brands pay for clearly labeled sponsor placements. Neither one ever changes which tools we pick, how we rank them, or what we say about them.
Affiliate links
Some links to tools are affiliate links. If you click one and later buy a paid plan, the tool's company may pay us a commission. It costs you nothing extra, and the price you pay is the same.
- Affiliate links are marked affiliate link next to the link.
- They carry
rel="sponsored nofollow", the standard way to tell search engines a link is commercial. - We list tools on merit. Most tools we recommend pay us nothing; a tool joining an affiliate program doesn't move it up, and leaving one doesn't move it down.
- When we have no affiliate link for a tool we simply link to its official site.
Sponsors
Brands can pay to appear in placements that are always labeled Sponsored, Featured sponsor or Featured brands, such as the logo strip on our homepage. Sponsored placements are kept visually separate from our picks and are never counted as a match or a ranking. See Advertise for the rules.
What we count
To report results to partners we count clicks on affiliate and sponsor links, and how often a sponsor logo was shown, using anonymous counters on our own server: which link, the page, mobile or desktop, and the date. No cookies, IP addresses or personal data are stored. See our privacy policy.
