Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency is important to us. Here's exactly how AIDateReviews makes money and how it affects our content.
How We Make Money
AIDateReviews is an affiliate website. When you click on certain links on our site and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may earn a commission from that company. This comes at no additional cost to you.
Specifically:
- Links marked as affiliate links or "Try Free" buttons may earn us a commission
- Commission rates vary by company (typically 20-50% of the subscription)
- Some programs offer lifetime recurring commissions
- We may also earn from display advertising in the future
How Affiliate Relationships DO NOT Affect Our Reviews
Our editorial integrity is non-negotiable. Here's what we commit to:
- Rankings are based on quality, not commission rates. A platform with a 50% commission doesn't get a higher score than a platform with a 20% commission.
- We review platforms without affiliate programs. If a product is good, we'll recommend it even if we don't earn money from it.
- We include negatives in every review. No product is perfect, and we'll tell you the downsides.
- We pay for our own subscriptions. We don't accept free accounts in exchange for reviews.
- We update reviews when products change. If a platform gets worse, we'll lower the score regardless of affiliate relationship.
Our Testing Process
Every platform we review goes through the same testing process:
- We purchase the premium subscription with our own money
- We use the platform for at least 2 weeks
- We score it across 8 standardized categories
- We document specific examples of strengths and weaknesses
- We compare it against competitors we've already tested
How to Identify Affiliate Links
On AIDateReviews, affiliate links typically appear as:
- "Try Free" or "Try [Product Name]" buttons
- Links in comparison tables
- Product name links in review content
If you prefer not to use our affiliate links, you can always navigate directly to the product's website.
