How AvatarTester makes money

AvatarTester is free to read and reader-supported. We make money in two clearly-labelled ways, and neither affects our scores, rankings or the footage we publish.

Affiliate links

When you click through to a tool and sign up, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Outbound links to vendors are affiliate links unless stated otherwise, and carry a sponsored attribute. Commissions never influence a tool's Index Score or position in our rankings.

Partner placements

Some vendors pay for featured placement. Wherever that happens, the tool is labelled PARTNER. A partner placement buys visibility — never a higher score, a better rank, or a more flattering edit of the render. Our scoring is described in full on our methodology page.

Editorial independence

Scores come from blind testing against a fixed rubric. We publish the raw renders so you can verify our conclusions. If we ever get something wrong, tell us and we'll fix it.
