Why we publish this
AI Maestro is an independent publication. We are not owned, controlled, or paid by any AI company, hosting provider, or tool vendor. To keep the lights on without putting articles behind a paywall, we use a small number of affiliate links — you click, we may earn a commission, you pay nothing extra.
This page tells you exactly how that works, who we are partnered with, and how to spot affiliate links on the site so you can make an informed choice.
What is an affiliate link?
An affiliate link is a tracked URL. When you click one and then sign up, subscribe, or buy something from the linked vendor within their cookie window (usually 30–90 days), AI Maestro is credited with the referral and may receive a small commission from the vendor.
The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our affiliate link or go to the vendor directly. The commission comes out of the vendor’s marketing budget, not your wallet.
How we choose what to link to
We have one simple rule: we only link to tools we have used and would recommend regardless of whether there was a commission.
We test every product we link to. If a tool stops being good — they raise prices unreasonably, the quality drops, the company starts behaving badly — we remove the affiliate link and update the article to reflect that. Our reviews are written first, and the affiliate links are added afterwards. We never write a positive review because of an affiliate relationship.
How to spot affiliate links on AI Maestro
- Every post that contains affiliate links displays a notice at the top reminding you of this disclosure.
- Most affiliate links route through
ai-maestro.online/recommends/— you can hover over a link to see where it points. - Some links go directly to the vendor with a tracking parameter; these are also affiliate links.
Affiliate networks we use
AI Maestro is a member of the following affiliate networks:
- Impact — used for major SaaS partners (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc., where available)
- PartnerStack — used for productivity and content tools
- ShareASale — used for select smaller vendors
- Direct partner programmes — a small number of tools we partner with directly
Editorial independence
No vendor — affiliate partner or otherwise — sees our articles before publication. No vendor has the right to demand corrections, removals, or changes. If a vendor objects to coverage, they can email us like anyone else and we will weigh the feedback on its merits.
Advertising
The site also displays advertising via Google AdSense in some article body and sidebar locations. Google selects which ads you see based on Google’s policies; we do not control individual ads. If you see an ad that violates Google’s policies, please let us know and we will report it.
Questions or concerns
If anything on this page is unclear, or you spot something on the site that looks like a paid placement we have not disclosed, please contact us. We take this seriously — our credibility is the only thing this site has, and we are not going to risk it for a referral fee.
