Affiliate Disclosure

Our Affiliate Relationships

StackHK is an independent AI tool review platform. To sustain our operations and continue producing high-quality content, we participate in affiliate programs offered by some AI tool providers.

This means that when you visit or purchase certain tools through specific links on our Site, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. These links are clearly labelled as "affiliate link" on our Site.

Our Editorial Independence Commitment

We make the following unequivocal commitments:

• Self-funded testing: All tools reviewed are purchased and tested at our own expense. We do not accept free accounts, testing subsidies, or any form of sponsorship from vendors
• Independent scoring: Scores are based on our four-dimensional quantitative system and are not influenced by any commercial factors
• Honest feedback: We report both the strengths and weaknesses of every tool — we do not avoid or downplay issues
• Affiliate neutrality: Whether a tool has an affiliate program does not determine whether we review it
• Conclusion-first design: Affiliate CTA buttons appear only after the review conclusion, never before it

How We Label Affiliate Links

To ensure full transparency, affiliate links are clearly labelled in the following locations:

• Affiliate CTA buttons within reviews are marked "(affiliate link)"
• Try-it buttons on the comparison page include an affiliate disclosure
• The site footer displays a concise affiliate notice on every page
• This page provides our complete affiliate policy

FTC Compliance

Although StackHK is registered in Hong Kong, we voluntarily adhere to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on affiliate marketing disclosures, in line with international best practice and to meet the requirements of certain partners (such as PartnerStack).

Under FTC guidelines, any financial relationship that could affect a consumer's purchasing decision must be clearly disclosed. We meet this requirement by:

• Providing clear and prominent disclosures on all content containing affiliate links
• Ensuring disclosures are visible before the user clicks an affiliate link
• Using plain, easy-to-understand language to explain the nature of our affiliate relationships

Our Affiliate Partners

We currently participate in affiliate programs through the following platforms:

• PartnerStack
• Impact
• ShareASale
• Select direct affiliate programs with individual tool providers

Tools that participate in affiliate programs are subject to the exact same review standards and process as those that do not.

Reader Trust

We understand that reader trust is StackHK's most valuable asset. We promise:

• We will never recommend a tool that is not fit for a user's needs just to earn a commission
• We will never conceal a tool's shortcomings or issues
• We will always maintain the objectivity and independence of our reviews
