Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: September 2026
Appcyder is a participant in affiliate programs from Impact, PartnerStack, and other affiliate networks. When you sign up for an AI tool through a link on our site, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This does not affect the price you pay or the quality of our reviews.
What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a model where we earn a commission when we refer a customer to a product or service. When you click an affiliate link on our site and sign up for a tool, the tool provider pays us a percentage of your subscription fee — typically 20-45% recurring. You pay the same price whether or not you use our link.
Which Links Are Affiliate Links?
Not all links on Appcyder are affiliate links. The following are affiliate links:
- “Visit [Tool Name] →” buttons on review pages
- “Visit →” links in the comparison table
- “Start Comparing →” CTA buttons that link to tool providers
- Links within blog articles that point to tool sign-up pages
The following are NOT affiliate links:
- Internal links to other Appcyder pages (reviews, blog, compare)
- Links to sources and references in our articles
- Social media links
How Our Affiliate Relationships Work
We participate in the following affiliate networks and programs:

| PartnerStack | 300+ SaaS programs | 15-30% recurring |

Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our reviews, ratings, or recommendations.We rate tools based on our hands-on testing — not on which tool pays the highest commission. A tool with a 45% commission rate gets the same honest review as a tool with a 5% commission rate.
We have turned down affiliate partnerships with tools we believe are low-quality. We have given negative reviews to tools that we have affiliate relationships with. Editorial independence is non-negotiable.
Sponsored Content
We may accept sponsored placements on our site. Sponsored content is always clearly labeled as “Sponsored” or “Partner”. Sponsored placements never appear in our review rankings or comparison tables — those are always based on our independent testing.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising. The FTC requires us to disclose our affiliate relationships to you, the reader, so that you understand that we may earn a commission if you sign up through our links.
