Affiliate Disclosure
AI Girlfriend List participates in affiliate marketing programs. This page explains how the site earns revenue. It also covers which links are affiliate links and why the editorial scoring stays independent of any commercial relationship.
How AI Girlfriend List earns revenue
AI Girlfriend List is a free resource for readers. The site earns revenue through affiliate marketing partnerships with the AI girlfriend platforms reviewed across the catalog. A reader clicks an affiliate link, then signs up or subscribes to a platform. AI Girlfriend List may receive a commission from that platform.
The reader pays nothing extra for going through an affiliate link. Commission comes from the platform marketing budget, not from the reader pocket. Pricing on the destination platform stays identical whether the reader arrives via affiliate link or via search engine.
Which links are affiliate links
Most outbound links on AI Girlfriend List that point to a reviewed platform are affiliate links. This includes:
- The "Visit [Platform]" buttons on each review page
- Clickable screenshot images at the top of each review
- Platform names linked in compare pages and best-of hubs
- "Visit" links in the related apps and rank cards across the site
Internal navigation links between AI Girlfriend List pages are not affiliate links. External links pointing to non-affiliated sources (news articles, regulatory bodies, third-party tools, glossary references) are also not affiliate links.
Each page that contains affiliate links carries a small disclaimer at the bottom. It reads "external links may be affiliate links" and points back to this page.
Editorial independence
Scoring on AI Girlfriend List stays independent of the commercial affiliate relationships. The methodology is public and the scoring criteria are documented on the methodology page. A single five-criteria rubric applies to every platform tracked. Affiliate relationships do not change the rubric or the scoring.
Three concrete commitments support this independence:
- Affiliate revenue does not influence the rank position. A platform is not ranked higher because the commission is higher; the rank reflects the editorial scorecard.
- Negative observations are published when the testing reveals them. Each review includes a Pros and Cons section documenting weaknesses, even on affiliated platforms.
- Platforms without affiliate partnerships are still included in the catalog when they fit the editorial scope. The directory aims to be comprehensive, not selective.
Programs we participate in
AI Girlfriend List participates in affiliate programs run by the AI girlfriend platforms directly. Aggregator networks handle some of the relationships across multiple platforms. Specific program names vary as the catalog evolves and as platforms update their partnership terms.
Typical relationships in the AI girlfriend space include direct platform programs (branded tracking links) and adult industry affiliate networks. Commission structures vary: some pay a one-time bounty per signup, others pay a recurring percentage of subscription revenue.
FTC compliance and reader protection
AI Girlfriend List complies with the United States Federal Trade Commission Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255). Disclosures on this page meet the "clear and conspicuous" standard required by FTC rules. The per-page disclaimers across the site reinforce the same compliance.
For readers in the European Union and the United Kingdom, the affiliate disclosures align with consumer protection rules. Those rules require transparency about commercial relationships in editorial content.
Readers who believe any disclosure on the site is unclear can flag it through the contact page. The editorial team reviews flagged disclosures and updates the language when warranted.
What this means for readers
Read the editorial scorecard, the pros, and the cons. Use the affiliate links if the platform fits your buying intent. Skip them if the platform is not the right fit. Recommendations carry the same value whether the reader uses the affiliate link or types the platform URL directly.
Reader budget control matters too. Starting on free tiers when available is the safest path. Test chat quality for at least a week before paying. Set a monthly billing alert if subscription costs are a concern. The /best/free hub covers platforms with genuinely usable free tiers in 2026.
Updates to this disclosure
The editorial team updates this page when affiliate program participation changes materially. Updates also happen when regulatory guidance evolves. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
Questions about this disclosure can be sent through the contact page. For specific platform pricing or features, contact the platform directly. AI Girlfriend List documents what the platforms publish but cannot answer for them.
