How We Make Money
GPT Builder Australia is a free resource. We earn revenue in two ways:
- Affiliate commissions: Some links on our website are affiliate links. When you click one of these links and sign up for a product or service, we may earn a small commission from the provider. This is at no extra cost to you — you pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the provider.
- Custom AI build services: We offer custom AI solutions (voice agents, chatbots, automation) through our partnership with YesAI. Revenue from these services helps fund the directory.
These revenue sources allow us to maintain the directory, keep reviews up to date, and provide free content for Australian businesses.
How This Affects Our Reviews
In short: it doesn't.
Our affiliate relationships have no influence on our rankings, ratings, or recommendations. Here's how we ensure that:
- Same methodology for all tools: Every tool is reviewed using the same testing process and evaluation criteria, regardless of whether the tool has an affiliate program.
- Non-affiliate tools are included: Many tools in our directory do not have affiliate programs. If a tool is good, it makes the list — whether or not we can earn a commission from it.
- Rankings are based on merit: Tools are ranked based on our genuine assessment of their quality, features, pricing, and suitability for Australian businesses. We do not accept payment for higher placement.
- We recommend free alternatives: If a free tool is genuinely better than a paid one for a particular use case, we say so — even when the paid tool is an affiliate partner.
Which Links Are Affiliate Links?
Not every link on our site is an affiliate link. We include affiliate disclosures on pages where affiliate links are present, typically with a notice like:
Affiliate Disclosure: Some links on this page are affiliate links. We may earn a commission if you sign up through our links, at no extra cost to you.
Links to tools in our directory and comparison pages may be affiliate links. Links in educational content, our glossary, and news articles are generally not affiliate links.
We only include affiliate links for tools we have genuinely reviewed and tested. We never add a tool to the directory solely because it has an affiliate program.
Our Commitment to Honesty
We take editorial integrity seriously. Here are our commitments:
- We include cons alongside pros. No tool is perfect. Every review honestly discusses limitations, missing features, and potential deal-breakers.
- We recommend free alternatives. If a free tool does the job well enough for your needs, we'll tell you — even if that means you don't click an affiliate link.
- We update reviews when tools change. AI products evolve fast. When a tool improves or declines, we update our review accordingly.
- We don't do sponsored reviews. No company can pay us to write a review. All reviews are initiated by our editorial team based on relevance to Australian businesses.
- We don't accept paid placements. You cannot buy a higher position in our directory or comparison tables.
- We disclose clearly. Affiliate relationships are disclosed on every page where affiliate links appear.
Custom Build Services
Some of our revenue comes from our custom AI build service, provided through YesAI. This service is listed in our directory alongside other options.
The custom build service does not affect directory rankings. Third-party tools are evaluated independently, and our own service is presented alongside competitors so you can make an informed choice.
