Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: May 8, 2026
JoeBotAI participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means I may earn commissions when you click on or make purchases through links on this site. This is how the site stays alive — I don't run display ads (yet), I don't charge for access, and I don't accept payment for favorable reviews.
How It Works
Some links on JoeBotAI are affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a purchase (or sign up for a service), the company pays me a small commission. This does not affect the price you pay — the cost is exactly the same whether you use my link or go directly to the company's website.
Why You Can Trust These Reviews
- I only review and recommend tools I've personally tested and would recommend to a friend. Affiliate status has zero influence on my ratings or recommendations.
- Many of the tools I review most favorably (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) have no affiliate program at all. I review them because they're the best tools — not because they pay me.
- Every review page that contains affiliate links includes a clear disclosure notice near the content — you'll never wonder whether a recommendation is influenced by money.
- If I discover a tool I previously recommended has gotten worse or changed in a way that affects my recommendation, I update the review regardless of affiliate status.
Affiliate Programs
As of May 2026, JoeBotAI participates in (or has applied to) the following affiliate programs:
- Amazon Associates — for physical products and books mentioned in reviews
- Impact / Awin / ShareASale — affiliate networks that include AI SaaS tools
- Individual tool affiliate programs — including but not limited to Jasper, Copy.ai, Writesonic, and Surfer SEO
This list is updated as new programs are added. Tools without affiliate programs — including OpenAI (ChatGPT), Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini), Perplexity, and Midjourney — are reviewed purely on their merits.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with FTC guidelines, every page on this site that contains affiliate links includes a clear and conspicuous disclosure. Affiliate links are tagged with appropriate rel="sponsored" attributes where applicable.
