Affiliate disclosure
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you install an app through one, we may be paid. It never changes a score, a placement or a criticism, and this page explains exactly how we keep that true.
The plain version
AI Drama Reviews earns money when a reader installs an app through one of our install buttons. Every install button on this site is an affiliate link, including the one on the app we placed first. We are paid by the affiliate network that runs those links, not by the app companies directly, and no app company has ever paid us for a review, a score or a position.
The disclosure the FTC asks for
This site has a material connection to the products it reviews, in the form of affiliate commission. That connection is disclosed in three places on every page that carries a link: under the install button, in the paragraph beneath the editor's-pick block, and in the footer. United States readers should assume any install button pays us.
What stops the money deciding the order
- The scoring method is published before the scores. Six axes and their weights are fixed for every app and set out in how we test. We cannot move an app by changing its weighting, because the weighting is not per-app.
- Both numbers are published. Each reviewed app shows its weighted axis mean and its published verdict, so the size of any editorial adjustment is visible rather than hidden.
- The app we earn most from is criticised on its own page. Our top-ranked pick is marked down for price opacity in its own review, and an entire page — DramaBox alternatives — exists to argue for installing something else.
- Apps we cannot earn from are still reviewed. Eight reviews on this site carry no install link at all because we have no commercial relationship with those apps. They stay published because the analysis is still useful.
- No paid placement, ever. We do not sell positions, sponsored reviews, "featured" slots or do-follow links. If that changes, this page changes first.

Does it cost you anything?
No. The price you pay is the price you would pay arriving at the app any other way. The commission is paid by the network out of its own margin. If you would rather not use an affiliate link, every app in our ranking is one search away, and we say so on the ranking itself.
If you think we got this wrong
Tell us. If you believe a score is influenced by commission, write to us with the specific claim and we will answer it in public on the page concerned. Corrections carry a date.
