In the interest of being upfront: OurDream AI earns money through affiliate commissions. This page explains exactly how that works and, just as importantly, what it does not change.
How we make money
Running a review site takes time and costs money. We cover that through affiliate partnerships: when you click certain outbound links and then sign up or subscribe to a platform, we may receive a commission. You pay nothing extra — the price is the same whether you arrive through us or type the address yourself.
What it does not change
This is the part that matters. A commission never buys a higher placement, a better score, or a kinder verdict. Rankings come out of hands-on testing, scored against fixed criteria we publish in full in our Testing Methodology. A platform we earn nothing from can still finish ahead of one we do, and that has happened. The wall between our commercial relationships and our editorial judgement is described in the Editorial Policy, and it is not for sale.
Which links are affiliate links
The call-to-action buttons that send you to a reviewed platform are typically affiliate links. Plain informational links, citations and links between our own pages are not. When you click out, the destination may set a cookie to credit the referral — we cover that in the Cookie Policy, and the data side in the Privacy Policy.
Our promise to readers
We write for the person trying to choose, not for the platform trying to sell. If something is mediocre we say so, commission or not. That principle is why we publish our testing process openly and put a named editor, Maya Brennan, behind the reviews rather than hiding behind a brand.
Questions about a specific link or partnership are fair game — ask through Contact. You can also read more about who we are, review the Terms of Service, or head back to OurDream AI to see the reviews this disclosure applies to.
