Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 17 June 2026

Summary (plain language)

Some links on this Site are affiliate links. If you click one and sign up or make a purchase, we may earn a commission from the vendor or affiliate network — at no extra cost to you. This commission never influences our rankings or editorial opinions.

FTC disclosure — 16 CFR Part 255

In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission's regulations on Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose the following material connection:

AI Health Guide (operated by Kulik Media UG, Germany) participates in affiliate marketing programmes. We earn referral commissions when readers click tracked links on this Site and subsequently complete a qualifying action on a partner platform (such as creating an account or making a purchase). This is a material financial relationship between us and those vendors or affiliate networks, and readers are entitled to know about it before making a decision based on our content.

Affiliate links on individual pages are marked with ↗ to identify them inline. A short disclosure notice also appears at the top of every article and review page that contains affiliate links.

Affiliate networks and programmes

We participate in affiliate programmes operated by or through the following networks. This list is updated when we add or remove a network relationship:

  • Impact (impact.com) — primary network for several health and wellness software vendors.
  • Awin — European affiliate network used for select health platform programmes. Awin places a tracking cookie (AWC) on the merchant domain when you click an Awin affiliate link.
  • CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction, cj.com) — used for select consumer health apps.
  • FlexOffers — used for select health and wellness programmes including Headspace and AmWell.
  • Acceleration Partners — managed affiliate programme used for select platforms including Cerebral.
  • Direct vendor programmes — some vendors (e.g. BetterHelp, Noom, Freeletics, Freed) operate their own referral or affiliate programmes independent of a third-party network.

Not every platform reviewed on this Site has an affiliate programme. Several of our highest-ranked clinical tools (Abridge, Nuance DAX, Suki) are sold through enterprise procurement and have no consumer affiliate programme. They are reviewed and ranked on editorial merit alone.

How commissions work

Commission structures vary by vendor and programme. Typical commission types include:

  • Cost per acquisition (CPA): a fixed payment per qualifying signup or paid subscription.
  • Revenue share: a percentage of subscription revenue for a defined period.
  • Cost per lead (CPL): a payment per completed free registration or lead form.

Commission rates differ across vendors. Our typical range across health-vertical affiliate programmes is approximately $5–$120 per qualifying action. Higher commission rates from a specific vendor do not cause that vendor to receive a higher editorial ranking.

Commissions are paid to us by the vendor or network. You pay the same price whether or not you arrive via an affiliate link — the commission comes out of the vendor's marketing budget, not an added charge to you.

Editorial independence

Affiliate commission amounts are not an input to our editorial scoring rubric. Rankings and recommendations are produced using the criteria documented on our methodology page: clinical evidence, regulatory status, pricing transparency, integration depth, and hands-on testing. A platform with no affiliate programme can rank first — and does, frequently.

We do not charge vendors to be reviewed, to be included in a "Best X" list, or for any editorial placement. We do not accept free products in exchange for coverage. We do not allow vendors to preview or edit copy before publication. For the complete firewall policy, see our Editorial Independence page.

How to identify affiliate links on this Site

  • Affiliate links are marked with ↗ inline in the text or on buttons.
  • Article and review pages that contain affiliate links include a disclosure box at the top of the page.

Cookie behaviour of affiliate networks

When you click an affiliate link, the affiliate network may set a tracking cookie on the merchant's domain to attribute any subsequent purchase or signup. These cookies are first-party to the merchant's site, not to ai-health-apps.com. Network-specific cookies include:

  • Awin: AWC cookie set on the merchant domain.
  • Impact: click-ID parameter appended to the redirect URL; cookie set on the merchant domain.
  • Other networks: similar tracking mechanisms on the respective merchant domains.

These cookies are governed by the merchant's and network's own privacy policies, not by ours. For our cookie usage on ai-health-apps.com itself, see our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy.
