💚 Our commitment: PiloTool is 100% reader-supported. We may earn a commission when you click our links and subscribe — but we never let that influence which tools we recommend. Honest recommendations always come first.
What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a standard practice where a website earns a commission when it refers visitors to another company's product or service and that visitor makes a purchase. The commission is paid by the tool provider — not added to your price. You pay exactly the same whether you click our link or go directly to the company's website.
Our Affiliate Relationships
PiloTool maintains affiliate partnerships with AI tool providers across multiple categories. Below is a list of our current affiliate partners:
How We Identify Affiliate Links
All affiliate links on PiloTool are identified with a small "⚡ Affiliate" badge in our blog posts and result cards. In our tool finder, the pricing section under each recommended tool notes the affiliate commission rate for transparency.
How Affiliate Commissions Affect Our Recommendations
They don't — and here's how we ensure that:
- Algorithm-based matching: Our tool finder uses your answers to match tools by feature fit, not commission rate.
- Non-affiliate tools included: Our database includes many tools without affiliate programs. If they're the best fit, we still recommend them.
- Negative reviews published: We regularly publish honest comparisons where affiliate tools lose to non-affiliate alternatives.
- No paid placements: Tool providers cannot pay to rank higher in our recommendations.
