How we make money

Which links can earn us a commission, what a paid placement looks like, and what money never changes.

Some outbound links on AI Launch Zone are affiliate links. If you sign up for or buy a tool after following one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Commissions never influence rankings, reviews or votes.

What an affiliate link is

An affiliate link is a link to an AI tool's website that lets the maker know the visit came from AI Launch Zone. If you start a paid plan or make a purchase after following one, the maker, or an affiliate network working with the maker, may pay us a commission. The price you pay is the same as if you had gone to the tool's website directly.

How affiliate links are marked

  • Affiliate links are marked with an Affiliate badge.
  • Affiliate links can appear on tool pages, deals and comparison pages. The badge tells you which links can earn us a commission.
  • Members may not post their own affiliate or referral links in tool submissions, reviews, comments, forum posts or the feed.

What commissions do not change

  • The price you pay.
  • Reviews and star ratings, which come from members.
  • Upvotes, and a tool's position in community-ranked lists such as Top rated, Most upvoted and Trending.
  • Which reviews, comments and posts stay up. Negative reviews are never removed for being negative.

Paid placements are labeled

Makers can buy plans that add visibility, such as a Featured slot at the top of a category, a slot in "Alternatives to" rails, a rotating homepage Sponsored spotlight or a newsletter mention. Every paid slot is labeled. Paid plans buy visibility and tools only. They never change a review, a rating, an upvote count or a position in any community-ranked list.

What the Verified badge means

A Verified badge means our team confirmed that the person managing a listing runs the product, either through a code sent to an email address on the product's own website domain or through manual review. It confirms ownership only. It is not an endorsement, a recommendation or a guarantee of quality, safety or results.

Cookies and tracking

When you follow an affiliate link, the tool's maker or an affiliate network may place a cookie or use similar technology to record that your visit came from AI Launch Zone. This is how a sign-up or purchase is credited to us. You can manage or clear cookies in your browser settings. Our privacy policy explains more about the information we collect.

We are not the seller

Pricing, free trials, billing, cancellations, refunds and how your data is used are set by each tool's maker, not by AI Launch Zone. Always read the maker's current pricing and terms before you sign up or pay.

Questions

If you have a question about this disclosure or about a specific link, contact us and we will be glad to explain.

What the labels look like
