benchrWhat an affiliate link is
An affiliate link contains a referral identifier. If you follow it and later sign up, buy, or use the linked service, the service may attribute that action to benchr and pay benchr a commission, referral fee, or account credit. Using an affiliate link does not add a benchr fee to your price, although the destination controls its own prices and terms.
Current affiliate destinations
As of the date above, benchr uses marked affiliate links to AI/ML API, Lovable, and RunPod. Other external links are not automatically affiliate links. If the set of active programs changes, this page will be updated.
How links are identified
A commercial link appears with a nearby plain-language disclosure such as “affiliate link,” “referral link,” or “benchr may earn a commission,” and uses rel="sponsored" where applicable. That HTML attribute is a technical disclosure for search engines; it does not mean the surrounding article was bought or approved by the destination.
Editorial independence
Affiliate compensation does not buy coverage, a higher rank, a favorable conclusion, or advance approval of an article. Partners do not edit benchr's comparisons or see unpublished conclusions for approval. Coverage follows the evidence and methodology described in the editorial standards. A product can be criticized, ranked below a non-affiliate option, or omitted even when an affiliate program exists.
Reader choice and privacy
You can avoid affiliate attribution by not using a marked commercial link and navigating to the service independently. When you open an external link, the destination's terms and privacy policy apply. Referral parameters and normal request information may be processed as explained in the privacy policy.
Advertising is separate
Google AdSense is a possible future revenue source, separate from affiliate links. No AdSense ad script or ad unit is currently loaded. If AdSense is activated after approval, benchr will use a Google-certified consent management platform where required and will update the privacy policy to reflect the live setup.
