Disclosure & Privacy
Affiliate disclosure
Tinker AI contains affiliate links. When you click through to a tool we cover and end up paying for it, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep the site independent and free.
Editorial independence: No tool pays for placement, ranking, or favorable coverage. Our reviews and rankings are based solely on hands-on testing and editorial judgment. If we recommend a tool, it's because we've used it and believe it's genuinely good for the use case described — not because it pays better.
How we make money
- Affiliate commissions (where the tool offers a referral program)
- Display advertising (managed by ad networks)
- Sponsored articles — clearly labeled [Sponsored] at the top
- Newsletter sponsors — clearly labeled in the email
Editorial standards
Each tool covered on this site has been used hands-on by our editor for at least 2 hours of real work. Deep reviews involve at least one full project completed end-to-end with the tool.
Reviewer: See about page for editor bio and qualifications.
