Quick Summary
  • Free to use for personal and commercial research
  • Affiliate links earn us commission at no extra cost to you

  • Third-party tools have their own terms - we're not responsible for them
  • Don't scrape, copy, or republish our content without permission

01 Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using AI Productivity ("the Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you don't agree with any part of these terms, please don't use our site.

These terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access the Site. We may update these terms from time to time, and your continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

These terms are written in plain language because legal jargon helps no one. If anything is unclear, reach out and we'll explain.

02 What We Provide

AI Productivity is an independent review and comparison site for AI productivity tools. Our content includes:

  • Tool reviews - In-depth analysis of AI tools with ratings, pros/cons, and use cases
  • Comparison guides - Side-by-side comparisons to help you choose the right tool
  • Tutorials and tips - Practical guides on getting more from AI tools
  • Affiliate links - Links to purchase tools from vendors (how we keep the site running)

Our promise: We thoroughly research every tool we review. Our ratings reflect genuine evaluation, not marketing material or affiliate relationships.

Definitions

When we refer to "testing," "evaluation," or "research" of tools on this site, this encompasses our full review process including: analysis of official documentation, feature comparisons, user review aggregation, demo exploration, community feedback assessment, and hands-on usage where feasible. The depth and method of evaluation varies by tool based on complexity and available access.

Content & AI Assistance

Our content is created with AI assistance and written in an engaging, first-person editorial style. While we strive for accuracy, specific claims (such as testing durations, exact accuracy percentages, or personal anecdotes) are illustrative and intended to make content more readable—they should not be taken as literal documented facts.

  • Content is thoroughly researched but AI-assisted in writing
  • First-person narrative is an editorial style choice, not a claim of personal experience
  • Statistics and metrics are sourced from vendor documentation, user reviews, and third-party research where available
  • Features, pricing, and capabilities change frequently—always verify with the vendor

We aim for accuracy and usefulness, but this is informational content, not a sworn affidavit. Do your own verification before making purchase decisions.

03 Affiliate Disclosure

AI Productivity participates in affiliate programs. Here's exactly how it works:

How We Earn

  • When you click our links and purchase a tool, we may earn a commission
  • This commission comes from the vendor, not from you
  • You pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the vendor

Editorial Independence

  • Affiliate relationships never influence our ratings or reviews
  • We've given low ratings to tools with generous affiliate programs
  • We've given high ratings to tools with no affiliate program at all
  • Our reviews are based solely on product quality, features, and value

Transparency note: If a link is an affiliate link, it's because we genuinely recommend the product - not the other way around. We choose what to recommend first, then see if an affiliate program exists.

04 Intellectual Property

06 Third-Party Links & Tools

Our site links to many external tools and services. Important things to understand:

  • When you click a link and visit another site, their terms apply
  • We have no control over third-party websites, tools, or services
  • Tool features, pricing, and availability may change without notice
  • We're not responsible for purchases made on other sites
  • Always review a vendor's terms before making a purchase

We do our best to keep pricing and feature information current, but tools change constantly. Always verify current details on the vendor's official site before purchasing.

07 Disclaimer of Warranties

Let's be real about what we can and can't guarantee:

  • Content accuracy - We strive for accuracy, but AI tools change rapidly. Some information may become outdated.
  • Tool performance - Our reviews reflect our experience. Your results may vary based on your use case.
  • Availability - We can't guarantee the site will always be available or error-free.
  • Completeness - We don't cover every tool or every feature of tools we review.

The site and all content are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We disclaim all warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

08 Limitation of Liability

  • We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages
  • We are not liable for decisions you make based on our content
  • We are not liable for issues with third-party tools or services
  • We are not liable for any loss of profits, data, or business opportunities

Our total liability for any claims arising from your use of the site is limited to the amount you paid us (which, since access is free, is zero).

In plain terms: We provide information to help you make decisions, but those decisions and their outcomes are yours. Do your own due diligence before making purchases or business decisions.

09 Changes to Terms

We may update these terms occasionally. When we do:

  • We'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page
  • For significant changes, we may post a notice on the site
  • Continued use after changes means you accept the new terms
  • If you disagree with changes, your remedy is to stop using the site

We recommend checking this page periodically, though let's be honest - we know you won't. That's okay. We're not making any surprising changes.
