Affiliate Disclosure

How We Earn Revenue

ShelbyAIDeals participates in affiliate programs with various AI tool providers. This means that when you click on certain links on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a commission from the sale — at absolutely no extra cost to you.

These commissions help us cover the costs of running this site, purchasing tool subscriptions for testing, and producing free, high-quality content for our readers.

How This Affects Our Reviews

It does not. Our editorial process is completely independent from our affiliate partnerships. No tool vendor can pay for a higher rating, a more favorable review, or placement in our rankings.

We review tools based on their merits: quality, ease of use, value for money, and how well they fit into real workflows. If a tool has an affiliate program and we genuinely recommend it, we will use an affiliate link. If we do not recommend a tool, we will not link to it regardless of affiliate availability.

Which Links Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links on our site are clearly identified. You will find them in:

  • Call-to-action buttons (e.g., “Try [Tool Name]”) that link to external tool websites
  • Links marked with an “Affiliate link” label beneath them
  • Comparison tables and best-of lists where each tool has a direct link to its website

Internal links to our own content (reviews, guides, comparisons) are never affiliate links.

Our Editorial Process

Every piece of content on ShelbyAIDeals follows this process:

  1. Test first. We sign up for the tool, use it with real tasks, and document our experience before writing a single word.
  2. Write honestly. We cover both strengths and weaknesses. Every review includes clear pros, cons, and a verdict.
  3. Recommend genuinely. We only recommend tools we believe provide real value. If a tool is not worth your money, we will say so plainly.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. We are committed to transparency and honesty in all our content.
