Affiliate Disclosure
How we make money and what we do to make sure that does not influence our reviews.
How affiliate links work on this site
This site contains affiliate links to trading platforms, including Zephyr AI. When you click one of those links and sign up with the destination platform, we may earn a commission. The commission comes out of the platform's marketing budget — not your wallet. There is no extra cost to you.
Why we use them
Affiliate revenue is what keeps the site running. Without it we would have to charge for the reviews or run third-party advertising trackers. We picked the affiliate route because it lets us keep the reviews free and the site clean of tracking.
How we keep affiliate revenue separate from editorial
- Affiliate relationships never influence quality scores. Our scoring system is applied identically to platforms that pay us a commission and platforms that do not.
- Every affiliate link is disclosed inline. CTAs that lead to an affiliate destination carry an "Affiliate partnership" microcopy label next to them.
- The quality gate runs before the affiliate layer. A draft is scored, gated, and approved for publication before any affiliate CTA logic touches it.
- We publish negative reviews of platforms whose affiliate programs we have access to. If we did not, the above policy would be meaningless.
Current affiliate partners
Our largest current affiliate partnership is with Zephyr AI — the AI trading algorithm we currently rank top in our 2026 testing. Zephyr CTAs appear in multiple placements across the site (hero, banner, sidebar, post-table inline, sticky mobile bar). These placements do not affect the score of any specific platform Zephyr matches users to.
Questions
If you think a review reads suspiciously positive — or if a link does not feel honestly disclosed — email contact@brokertestedreviews.com. We take every report seriously and investigate it against our own editorial logs.
