Affiliate disclosure

This page explains exactly how affiliate links work on Iris Bites and how we manage the conflict of interest they create.

What affiliate links are

Many tool vendors run partner programs — they pay a small commission to sites that send them a paying customer. When you click a tracked link from our site to a tool's website and then upgrade to a paid plan, the vendor pays us. The price you pay is identical whether you come from our link or go directly to the tool.

How we label affiliate links

Every affiliate link on this site carries a rel="sponsored" tag (the standard web disclosure for paid relationships) and is accompanied by a visible note where it appears. The note reads: "Affiliate link — we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you."

How we keep rankings honest

We rank tools strictly on how well they handle the task in question. A higher commission rate does NOT move a tool up our rankings. If two tools handle a job equally well, we recommend the one that costs less. If a tool we don't have an affiliate relationship with is the best option, we still recommend it.

Programs we participate in

We participate in affiliate programs from Anthropic, Cursor, Codeium (Windsurf), Notion, Perplexity, ElevenLabs, Runway, Replit, Lovable, Jasper, Copy.ai, Writesonic, Descript, Synthesia, HeyGen, Otter.ai, Fathom, Loom, Grammarly, ClickUp, Beehiiv, Webflow, Framer, Supabase, and Neon. We also participate in the Impact, PartnerStack, Tolt, and Rewardful affiliate networks. This list is updated when programs change.

What we never do

• Accept payment to feature a tool above its rank
• Hide that a link is an affiliate link
• Recommend a tool we haven't reviewed
• Recommend a tool we believe is worse for the use case
