Advertising & affiliate disclosure

How Zekai is funded

Zekai is free for readers. We fund the work in three transparent ways: affiliate links (we may earn a commission when you sign up for a tool through some links, at no extra cost to you), sponsored placements (clearly labelled tools that pay for visibility), and services we provide to AI companies.

What advertising does and doesn’t buy

• It buys placement and visibility — a featured slot, a badge, a homepage card.
• It never buys a higher score — our 1–10 scores are independent of payment, per our methodology.
• It is always labelled — sponsored items carry a clear badge and a sponsored-tagged link.

Affiliate links

Some outbound links to tools are affiliate links. If you click one and sign up, Zekai may receive a commission. This never affects the price you pay, and it never affects how we score or rank a tool.
