Affiliate disclosure

This disclosure explains how AI Course Rank makes money, in plain terms, consistent with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements and testimonials.

We earn commissions from some links

When you buy through links on our site, we may earn a commission from course providers — at no extra cost to you; the price you pay is the same either way. Not every link is an affiliate link, and not every provider we review has an affiliate program. Our partnerships may change over time; this page will be updated accordingly.

How affiliate links are marked

• Every affiliate link carries the rel="sponsored" attribute.
• Any page containing affiliate links shows a notice near the first such link: "This page contains affiliate links. We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you."
• Affiliate call-to-action buttons are accompanied by a visible "We may earn a commission" note.

Commissions never affect rankings

Our ratings and rankings are editorial judgment, produced as described on our methodology page. Providers cannot pay for placement, ratings, or reviews — in money or in kind. Concretely:

• Some of the courses we recommend most highly have no affiliate program at all; we rank courses where we judge they belong, regardless of whether a link earns us anything.
• Every review lists cons and "who should skip it" — no exceptions, including for courses we link to with affiliate links.
• Where a course is not the right fit for a given ranking, we say so and rank it accordingly, even when recommending it would pay better.

What we don't publish

We do not publish fabricated testimonials or invented first-person learning experiences. Our reviews analyze public information — syllabi, pricing, formats, and publicly reported student outcomes — and are labeled as editorial analysis. Community reviews come from readers and are marked as such, separate from our editorial ratings.
