Editorial Standards

These are the rules every AISagely article follows. They exist so you can trust what you read here — especially the recommendations that earn us a commission.

How we test

  • We use tools on real tasks before recommending them, not spec sheets alone.
  • For comparisons, we run the same brief through each tool and judge drafts by how much editing they need to publish, not by which “sounds” nicer.
  • We report real limitations, not just strengths. If a tool is not worth it, we say so.

How we write

  • Written by a named, credentialed human reviewer (see the author page).
  • AI may assist with research or first drafts, but every article has human testing, editing, and judgment behind it. We do not publish unedited AI text.
  • We cite primary sources (official docs, pricing pages, studies) with dates, and show a visible last-updated date.

Accuracy and corrections

  • Prices and features change. We link live sources so you can verify current numbers, and we refresh articles when things move.
  • Found an error? Tell us — we correct promptly and note significant changes.

Money and independence

  • Affiliate relationships are disclosed near the top of every commercial page and in our Affiliate Disclosure.
  • Commissions never buy a recommendation. We routinely recommend free tools and cheaper competitors when they’re the better choice.

What we won’t do

  • No fake authors or pseudonyms.
  • No “test” or placeholder posts.
  • No thin, mass-produced content. We publish fewer, better articles on topics we can genuinely help with.
