At testified.ai, our mission is to remove uncertainty from B2B software and AI tool selection. To maintain our high standards of technical auditing and to make our research available to the public, we participate in various affiliate marketing programs.
Transparency is a core pillar of our methodology. This page explains how we earn revenue and why it never compromises our engineering integrity.
How We Use Affiliate Links
Some of the links on this website are "affiliate links." This means that if you click on the link and purchase the software or service, testified.ai may receive an affiliate commission.
Important: This comes at no additional cost to you. In many cases, our relationships allow us to provide unique discounts or extended trials for our readers.
Our Integrity Commitment
Unlike many review sites, testified.ai is built by engineers, not marketers. We treat software evaluation as a technical audit. Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content for the following reasons:
No Pay-to-Play: Vendors cannot pay to be listed on our site or to improve their score.
The "Silent Test" Process: We purchase Business or Team plans ourselves to conduct audits. We do not rely on hand-picked vendor demos.
Data-Driven Results: Our findings are based on raw data, including API rate limits, UI latency, and security posture. These metrics cannot be "bought."
Independent Conclusion: If a tool fails our scalability or security checks, we will report it, regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with that vendor.
Why We Have This Policy
Conducting deep-dive technical audits is resource-intensive. It requires:
Paying for enterprise-level software subscriptions.
Dedicated time from senior engineers and AI practitioners.
Cloud infrastructure to test API limits and concurrent workflows.
Affiliate revenue allows us to stay independent of venture capital or vendor sponsorships, ensuring that our only loyalty is to the CTOs, engineering leaders, and operators who rely on our data.
