Affiliate disclosure

shouldipay.ai is free to read. To pay for it we use affiliate links: if you click a "Visit" button and then buy a subscription, the vendor may pay us a commission. It costs you nothing extra.

How the links work

Every "Visit" button goes through a short link on our site (shouldipay.ai/go/<tool>) and is marked rel="sponsored nofollow" for search engines. When we have an affiliate agreement with the vendor, the link carries our referral code. When we don't, it goes straight to the vendor's homepage and we earn nothing.

What commissions never change

Commissions never decide a verdict: the evidence does.

• Verdicts are drafted from the vendors' own pricing and documentation pages and checked automatically against them; a person reviews first verdicts, changed answers and anything the checks flag. Whether a vendor pays a commission is not an input.
• Alternatives are picked by comparing plans and prices, and shown only when an automatic check confirms that the current plans support the reason given; a person reviews the suggestions the check does not confirm.
• A tool with an affiliate program gets no better answer, badge or position than one without.

What we record when you click

We count clicks to learn which pages are useful: the tool, the page you clicked on, the time, your country as reported by our CDN, and a hash of your IP address that changes every day. If you arrived from another website, we keep only that site's domain, never the full address of the page. We never store your IP address itself, and we use no advertising cookies.
