Software reviews built on real testing, not marketing copy
AffiliatesMaker exists because too many “reviews” are just a vendor’s feature page with an affiliate link stapled to the top. We do it differently.
How this started
I’m Nahid Reza, founder and lead reviewer here. Before this, I spent years buying, testing, and sometimes regretting hosting plans, CRMs, AI tools, and “lifetime deals” for my own projects and client work. Every time I searched for an honest review, I found the same thing: a listicle built from the vendor’s own marketing page, with no evidence anyone had actually used the product.
So I built the site I wished existed.
What we cover
We review business software, AI tools, web hosting, and marketing platforms — and we track lifetime deals long enough to tell you which ones are still worth taking and which ones quietly stopped being a good deal months ago.
AI Tools
Writers, agents, and image models, tested on real workloads.
Software
CRM, project, and finance tools scored on price and support.
Web Hosting
Uptime and load time measured over weeks, not minutes.
Lifetime Deals
Checked for refund windows and vendor stability before we list them.
How we make money
AffiliatesMaker is reader-supported. When you buy through some of our links, we may earn a commission from the vendor — at no extra cost to you. This is how we fund the cost of testing paid accounts and keeping the site free to read.
This never changes what we write. Vendors cannot pay for a better score, a higher ranking, or a softer verdict. We’ve turned down partnerships for products that scored poorly in testing, and published critical reviews of tools we have affiliate relationships with. Read the full Affiliate Disclosure.
How we score
Every review is weighed on five things: core features, ease of setup, real-world performance, support quality, and price against the renewal cost — not just the introductory offer. The breakdown sits at the top of every review, so you can see exactly how we got to the number.
Testing business software, AI tools and web hosting since day one of this site — on paid accounts, for real projects, checking the renewal price before recommending anything.
