Editorial policy
How Zekai keeps reviews independent, how we label paid placement, and how we handle mistakes.
Editorial independence
Zekai’s scores, verdicts, pros and cons, and rankings are set by our editorial team, independent of any commercial relationship with the tools we cover. No company can pay to raise a Zekai Score, move up a ranking, or remove a documented limitation. This applies whether or not a tool advertises with us, is a claimed listing, or has an affiliate relationship with Zekai.
Affiliate disclosure
Some links to AI tools on Zekai are affiliate links. If you click one and sign up or purchase a plan, the tool maker may pay us a commission — at no extra cost to you. This funds free access to Zekai for everyone. It does not influence which tools we list, how we score them, or what we say about them. Full detail: Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure.
Sponsorship labeling
Sponsored placements — featured slots, profession-page sponsorships, and similar paid visibility — are always visually labeled as sponsored or featured on the page where they appear. Sponsorship buys placement and visibility. It never buys a score, a ranking position based on merit, or editorial content written to order.
Corrections policy
Zekai reviews are generated from documented research into each tool — its real capabilities, pricing, and use cases — and are checked editorially before publication. Mistakes still happen, especially as tools update their pricing and features faster than any directory can track. If you find an error — wrong price, outdated feature, factual mistake — tell us. We reply within one business day and correct verified errors promptly rather than defend them.
Review freshness
Tools change. When we re-check and update an entry, the tool page shows a “Last reviewed” date so you know how current the information is. Entries without a visible date have not yet been through a re-check since original publication — treat pricing and feature details on those pages as approximate and verify on the vendor’s own site before purchasing.
Questions
For anything not covered here, or to report a possible error, contact us — we reply within one business day.
