Disclosure

Affiliate disclosure.

The short, plain-English version of how money and links work on CitationDesk.

Some links are affiliate links

CitationDesk recommends third-party tools — for example, platforms for continuous AI-citation monitoring — when they genuinely help readers. Some of those outbound links are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you click through and sign up, at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links on this site carry rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" and are disclosed on the page where they appear.

Current status

As of 2026-08-11, CitationDesk has an affiliate relationship with the following tools:

• Rankscale
• Mangools AI Search Watcher

Every other tool link on this site is plain and untagged — we earn nothing when you click those. No affiliate relationship influenced any score, ranking, or comparison verdict.

It never changes what we publish

• Scores are never for sale. The AI Visibility Score is computed by the open rubric on our methodology page. No company can pay to change a score, a ranking, or a comparison verdict.
• Recommendations come first. We recommend tools because they fit the reader's need, not because they pay a commission. Where a competitor is the better pick, our comparison pages say so.
• No incentivized clicks. We never ask you to click links to "support the site".
