Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure
How ToolHund may earn money, and how we keep that separate from what we recommend.
How ToolHund is funded
Browsing ToolHund is free. ToolHund may earn from the sources below — none of them change the ToolHund Score or rankings:
- Affiliate links. Many outbound links to AI tools include an affiliate tag. When you sign up or pay, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you.
- Sponsored placements. Tools can pay to appear in clearly marked "Sponsored" or "Featured" slots. These never change a tool's ToolHund Score or category ranking.
- Paid API. An optional $5 one-time pack of 1,000 API credits, and separate monthly API plans, sold through Stripe.
- Newsletter (planned). There is no newsletter sponsorship today; the newsletter slot on the sponsor page is a waitlist. If it launches, sponsors will be labeled in the email.
There is no ToolHund Pro subscription for readers. Browsing and comparisons are free; structured API responses for apps and agents are paid. See ToolHund is free.
Editorial firewall
Rankings, ToolHund Scores, reviews, and AI Advisor recommendations are generated from the same public data and methodology for every tool — paid or not. If we ever feature a tool because we were paid, it will say Sponsored on the card.
Where you'll see disclosures
- Every outbound "Visit tool" button uses
rel="nofollow sponsored noopener noreferrer". - Sponsored cards carry a visible "Sponsored" badge.
