AI Tool Clinic is an independent, reader-supported publication. This page explains how we stay independent, how we get paid, and what that means for the reviews you read on this site.
Our independence, in plain language
- No sponsored reviews. Ever. We do not accept payment from any AI tool vendor in exchange for a favorable review, a higher ranking, or preferential placement on our site.
- Hands-on testing, every review. Every tool we recommend has been personally tested by Kedarinath Talisetty, CCDM® — a Senior Clinical Data Manager with 12+ years of oncology and clinical research experience — against a structured, evidence-based rubric.
- Clinical-grade methodology. We evaluate AI tools the way we would evaluate a clinical trial: systematically, with documented criteria, and with zero tolerance for unsubstantiated vendor claims.
How we make money
Some of the links on AI Tool Clinic are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and purchase a product or subscription, we may earn a small commission from the vendor at no additional cost to you. Your price is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the vendor’s site.
These commissions help pay for our server hosting, testing subscriptions (we pay for paid tiers of the tools we review), research time, and continued free access to our library of reviews, comparisons, and tutorials.
What affiliate relationships do not buy
- An affiliate relationship does not influence our evaluation grade, our verdict, or whether a tool is recommended at all.
- We regularly recommend tools that pay us zero commission (including free open-source projects) when they are the best evidence-based choice for a given use case.
- We decline to promote any tool we would not personally deploy in a regulated clinical research workflow.
FTC and regulatory compliance
As required by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255), affiliate relationships are disclosed on every article that contains affiliate links. Look for the disclosure banner at the top of those articles. We also comply with applicable disclosure requirements in the EU, UK, India, and Canada.
Affiliate programs we currently participate in
We participate in affiliate programs operated by — among others — reputable software vendors and networks including ShareASale, Impact, PartnerStack, CJ Affiliate, and Amazon Associates. An up-to-date list of the specific products we earn commissions on is available on request at [email protected].
