Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure

ToolHund is independent. Here's exactly how we make money, and how we keep that separate from what we recommend.

How we make money

• Affiliate links. Many outbound links to AI tools include an affiliate tag. When you sign up or pay, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you.
• Sponsored placements. Tools can pay to be featured in clearly marked "Sponsored" or "Featured" slots. These never change a tool's ToolHund Score or category ranking.
• ToolHund Pro. Optional Pro subscription ($9/mo) for ad-free browsing, alerts and exports.
• Newsletter sponsorships. One sponsor per issue, disclosed at the top of the email.

Editorial firewall

Rankings, ToolHund Scores, reviews, and AI Advisor recommendations are generated from the same public data and methodology for every tool — paid or not. Advertisers can't see or influence them. If we ever feature a tool because we were paid, it will say Sponsored on the card.

Where you'll see disclosures

• Every outbound "Visit tool" button uses rel="sponsored noopener".
• Sponsored cards carry a visible "Sponsored" badge.
• Newsletter ads are labelled "Sponsored by …" at the top of the section.
