OUR PROCESS
How We Make Money
A plain explanation of how this site works: how we choose what to cover, how we test tools, and where the money comes from.
AI Tools Hub is a small, independent site. We write reviews and comparisons of AI tools for writing, SEO, images, video, and audio, and some of the links on this site are affiliate links. This page explains exactly how that works, so you know where our incentives sit before you trust anything else we publish.
We Test Before We Recommend
Every review starts with the tool's own pricing and features page, checked live rather than copied from another site's listicle — those go stale fast, and we've caught real errors doing it this way. Where we can access a tool directly, we use it hands-on before writing about it. Where we can't (a paid enterprise tier, for example), we say so in the article instead of guessing. Prices and plans are rechecked on a regular schedule, and any article that's gone stale gets corrected rather than left as-is.
How We Earn Money
Most of the tools we cover have an affiliate or referral program. When you click one of those links and sign up or buy a plan, the company may pay us a commission — at no extra cost to you; you pay the same price either way. That's currently the only way this site makes money: no sponsored posts, no paid placements, and nothing here was written because a company paid for the coverage.
What We Will Never Do
- Recommend a tool as the best option when we don't genuinely think it is, just because it pays a higher commission
- Accept payment in exchange for a positive review
- Hide or disguise the fact that a link is an affiliate link
- Let an affiliate relationship change a Pros and Cons section or a Final Verdict
Why Trust Our Reviews
Having an affiliate link on a page doesn't mean the review is positive — several of the articles on this site recommend a competitor over the tool with the affiliate link, when that's genuinely the better fit for a given use case.
