The short version: Some links on this website are affiliate links. If you click one and buy a product, we earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. This income helps us keep the site free and the content independent. We only recommend tools we genuinely believe are good for our readers.
1. What Is Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a standard and widely used business model for independent publishers and review websites. It works like this: we include special tracking links to products and services we recommend. When you click one of those links and make a purchase, the company pays us a referral commission — typically a percentage of the sale or a flat fee.
This commission comes from the company's marketing budget — it does not increase the price you pay. You pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the company's website.
2. Our Editorial Commitment
Industry AI Hub operates as an independent editorial publication. Our primary commitment is to our readers — to provide honest, accurate, and useful information that helps B2B professionals make better decisions about AI tools.
We hold ourselves to the following editorial standards:
- We review tools we believe are genuinely useful. We do not accept payment to write positive reviews. Affiliate partnerships are formed after editorial decisions, not before.
- We do not alter our editorial opinions based on commission rates. A tool with a higher commission does not receive a better review because of it.
- We disclose affiliate relationships clearly. You will see affiliate disclosures at the top of articles and in our footer on every page.
- We cover both strengths and weaknesses. Every tool review includes a "Limitations to Know" section. We do not publish advertorial content disguised as editorial.
- We update content when things change. If a tool we recommend gets worse, raises prices unfairly, or discontinues its program, we update our recommendation accordingly.

4. Legal Compliance
This disclosure is made in compliance with:
- EU Directive 2005/29/EC (Unfair Commercial Practices Directive) — which requires that commercial intent behind content must be clearly disclosed
- Finnish Consumer Protection Act — which requires clear identification of marketing and commercial content
- FTC Guidelines (US Federal Trade Commission) — for international readers, we also comply with FTC requirements that material connections between endorsers and brands must be clearly disclosed

5. How to Identify Affiliate Links
Affiliate links on this website typically point to the pricing page or homepage of a tool we are recommending, via a tracking URL. You can identify them by:
- The presence of an affiliate disclosure notice at the top of an article or in the site footer
- Buttons and CTAs labelled "Visit [Tool Name]", "Start Free Trial", or similar action phrases
- The URL may contain tracking parameters (e.g.,
?ref=industryaihubor similar)
Not every link on our site is an affiliate link. Standard editorial links to external sources, studies, or reference material are not affiliate links.
