Affiliate disclosure
RespawnStack is an independent directory. Some outbound links to AI tool vendors are affiliate links. If you buy through one, the vendor may pay us a commission. It costs you nothing extra.
How an affiliate link is marked
- The disclosure sits directly beside the link, not only in the footer. Standard wording: “Affiliate link: RespawnStack may earn a commission if you buy through it. It costs you nothing extra and does not change the quoted terms or the verdict on this page.” In tight spaces: “Affiliate link. We may earn a commission.”
- Every affiliate link carries
rel="sponsored nofollow noopener", so search engines are told it is paid. - Links go straight to the vendor. They are not redirected through RespawnStack.
- Affiliate links appear only below the facts and the “Can I ship it?” summary, on tool, pricing, commercial-use, alternatives and compare pages. They never appear on the change log or the home page.
What an affiliate link never changes
- A stored quote, its source, or its fetch date.
- A verdict. Verdicts are generated from verified rows only, with no input from any commercial relationship.
- The order of results. Lists are alphabetical, never ranked by commission.
- Coverage. Tools with no affiliate program are covered to the same depth as tools with one.
- The vendor-terms link on commercial-use pages. That one is always a plain, direct link.
Click counting
When you click an affiliate link we record one anonymous event in Vercel Web Analytics: the tool, the program name, and the kind of page the click came from. We do not record anything else about you beyond the standard analytics on every page.
Vendors with an affiliate link right now
None yet. No affiliate link is live on RespawnStack. This page will list each vendor here, by name, the day a link goes live.
Sponsorship is separate and also labelled; see Advertise and Sponsors. How facts are verified is on the methodology page.
