Short version: when you click a “Try” button and sign up at the linked provider, we may earn a commission. This does not affect what we recommend or how we rank models.
Who we have affiliate relationships with
- OpenRouter — referral on signup credit
- Together — partner referral
- Fireworks — partner referral
How affiliate links are marked
Every affiliate link has rel="sponsored" in the HTML, opens in a new tab, and includes a ?ref= parameter that identifies us as the referrer. The most common location is the “Try” buttons next to model names.
What we will not do
- Paid ranking. No model gets ranked higher because they pay us.
- Sponsored picks. The “Cheapest”, “Strongest”, “Fastest”, “Best Value” cards are mathematical, not editorial.
- Hidden bias. If we say model X is better than model Y for scenario Z, that's based on price, benchmark, and capability data — not commission rates.
What we may do (and how to spot it)
- Direct you to a partner gateway (OpenRouter etc.) when their version of a model is the same price as the official API. The Try button takes you to whichever destination has a referral code we have.
- For models from providers with no affiliate program (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google direct), the Try button will route you to a partner that resells that model.
Phase 2
When AIpricly launches its own gateway, the “Try” button will route to our service instead of OpenRouter. Our pricing model will be transparent token pass-through plus a deposit fee — no model markups.
