Advertising & Disclosure

Reviewner exists to give people honest, hands-on assessments of AI tools. The fastest way to lose that trust would be to let money quietly shape our verdicts — so this page sets out, in plain language, exactly how we make money and the firm line we keep between our revenue and our reviews.

1. The Short Version

• We never take money from the companies we review. Not for a review, not for a higher Reviewner Score, not for a better ranking. There are no paid placements and no sponsored reviews on Reviewner.
• Our income comes from readers and from advertising that is unrelated to the tools we cover. Specifically, Reviewner Pro memberships and category-agnostic display advertising (see Section 2).
• Our scores are editorial opinion, formed independently using the process on our Methodology page — the same way for every tool, whether or not it advertises anywhere or whether you are a Pro member.

2. How Reviewner Makes Money

We fund our work in two ways.

• Reviewner Pro memberships. Readers can support Reviewner and unlock membership features by subscribing to Reviewner Pro. This is reader revenue — it comes from our audience, not from the tools we review. Membership does not change any tool’s score or ranking.
• Category-agnostic advertising. We may display a small amount of general advertising on the site. Any such advertising is “category-agnostic” — it is not sold to, and does not feature, the AI tools we review, and advertisers cannot buy influence over our coverage, scores, or rankings. Advertising is kept entirely separate from our editorial team and process.
• Current status: advertising is not live on Reviewner yet. If and when we introduce it, it will follow the rules above, it will be clearly distinguishable from our editorial content, and we will update this page and our Cookie/Privacy disclosures accordingly.

3. Reconciling “We Take $0” With “We Run Ads”

You may see us say both that Reviewner takes “$0 from the tools we review” and that we earn revenue from memberships and ads. Both are true, and here is why they fit together: the “$0” refers specifically to the companies we review — we accept no payment from them, in any form, ever. Our actual revenue comes from a different place entirely: our readers (Pro) and general advertisers who are not the tools we cover. Keeping those two things separate is the whole point — it is what lets our reviews stay independent.

4. What Payment Does — and Doesn’t — Affect

To be completely clear, none of the following are ever influenced by money, membership, or advertising:

• The Reviewner Score a tool receives;
• Where a tool appears in our rankings, comparisons, or “best of” lists;
• Whether we cover a tool, and what we say about it;
• The timing or prominence of a review.

Scores and rankings are determined solely by our testing and research, applied consistently to every tool, as described on our Methodology page.

5. Affiliate Links

Reviewner does not currently use affiliate links. If we add them in the future — for example, a link that earns us a small commission if you sign up for a tool — we will label them clearly and update this page. Even then, affiliate arrangements would never influence a tool’s score or ranking, and we would not earn more for giving a tool a better review.

6. Third-Party Brands, Logos & Pricing

Our reviews refer to third-party AI tools by name and may show their logos, screenshots, or pricing for identification and commentary. Those trademarks and materials belong to their respective owners, and their appearance does not imply any partnership, endorsement, or affiliation. Pricing and features can change after we publish, so please confirm details directly with the tool.
