Affiliate Links

When you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. These are called "affiliate links."

What this means:

  • We receive a small percentage of the sale when you purchase through our links

Products and Services with Affiliate Relationships:

  • AI coding tools and platforms
  • Software subscriptions

Sponsored Content

From time to time, we publish sponsored content, which means we are compensated by a company to create content about their product or service.

How We Identify Sponsored Content:

  • Clearly marked with "Sponsored Post" or "Sponsored Content" label at the top of the article

If we are compensated to create a review, we label it as "Sponsored Review."
