Affiliate disclosure

How AI Tools Worth makes money — and why it never changes a score.

The short version

Some links on AI Tools Worth are affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. That commission keeps the lab running.

No commission, partnership, or relationship ever changes a score, a ranking, or a verdict. Placement cannot be bought — ever.

How it actually works

We buy and test tools with our own money first, then score them.
Scores come from hands-on use against fixed criteria — never from payouts.
We link to tools we genuinely recommend; if a tool isn’t worth it, we say so — affiliate or not.
Not every link is an affiliate link, and clicks never influence our editorial decisions.

Why we disclose

Because trust is the whole product — and because it’s the right thing to do (FTC guidance agrees). If a recommendation ever reads as bought, email us and we’ll show our testing notes.
