How We Earn Revenue
CompanionGeek is an independently operated review site. We earn money through affiliate links. When you click a link to an AI companion app on our site and make a purchase or sign up for a paid plan, we may receive a commission from that app's provider at no additional cost to you.
This is how we fund our operations, pay for premium app subscriptions during testing, and keep the site running without charging readers.
Editorial Independence
Affiliate commissions do not influence our reviews, ratings, or recommendations. Our editorial process is independent of our commercial relationships. Here is what that means in practice:
- We never accept payment in exchange for a positive review or a higher score.
- Apps with affiliate partnerships are tested and scored using the same 15-trait methodology as apps without them.
- Our recommendation quiz matches you to apps based on your stated preferences, not on which apps pay us the most.
- We include apps in our reviews regardless of whether they offer an affiliate program.
- If an app we recommend discontinues its affiliate program, the review and score remain unchanged.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose that CompanionGeek has financial relationships with some of the companies whose products we review. Links marked with affiliate indicators or that direct you to third-party app sign-up pages may generate commission revenue for CompanionGeek.
This disclosure applies to all pages on companiongeek.com that contain affiliate links, including reviews, comparison articles, recommendation quiz results, and the homepage.
