How affiliate links work

When a page contains an affiliate link, the commercial relationship is identified near the action. The link opens the provider or its authorized destination and is marked as sponsored. We do not hide a destination behind a coupon redirect.

The price should not increase because a reader used an affiliate link. The provider controls the transaction, eligibility review, final price, renewal and support.

Affiliate links and evidence links are different

A call-to-action may use an affiliate URL when one has been supplied and enabled. Official sources always use the direct provider URL and are not marked sponsored. This separation lets readers verify a claim without passing through a commercial link.

Inclusion and status are not for sale

A provider can have an affiliate program and still be labeled Ended, Limited, Institution Only or No Public Deal. A provider without an affiliate program can still be listed when its offer answers the site's search intent.

Affiliate compensation cannot purchase a positive status, suppress an official restriction, or convert an ordinary free plan into a student discount.

Sponsored placements

A paid placement must be visibly identified as sponsored. Sponsorship does not convert the surrounding page into an independent review, and the sponsor cannot buy the factual conclusion. No sponsored placement should use a false countdown, coupon, inventory claim or user count.

Current link behavior

Meshy and Tripo product actions may use their disclosed affiliate destinations when affiliate mode is enabled. Those commercial links are labeled near the action and kept separate from the official education, pricing and help links used to support each status decision.
