Disclosure

FTC 16 CFR Part 255 acknowledgment

StackTower AI follows the United States Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, codified at 16 CFR Part 255. When we have a material connection to a product, service, or organisation we recommend — for example an affiliate commission, a free review unit, or a paid relationship — we disclose that connection clearly, prominently, and in plain language at the point a reader could be influenced by it. Disclosures appear on this page and again, in context, near any link or recommendation that carries a material connection.

Last updated: 2026.

Affiliate links

An affiliate link is a tracked link to a third-party product or service. If you click such a link and later make a qualifying purchase, the vendor or its affiliate network may pay StackTower AI a commission. The price you pay is not affected by whether the link is tracked.

When we link to an affiliate partner, the link is labelled in the surrounding paragraph or in a small inline tag, and the page itself carries a banner near the first such link. We add rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow" to the underlying anchor as appropriate.

As of 2026, the following affiliate programs are wired on stacktower.ai: none. No commissions are being earned today. When a program is registered, this list will name the partner, the network used, and the products or categories the relationship covers, and the change will be reflected here before any tracked link is shipped to a published article.

Display advertising

Display advertising — banner ads, in-article placements, and similar formats — is paid placement of inventory by an ad network, not an editorial recommendation. When advertising is enabled on the site, ads are clearly distinguishable from article content, do not influence which products we cover, and do not allow advertisers to review articles before publication.

As of 2026, no display ads are running on stacktower.ai. We have not been approved by Google AdSense or any alternative network. If and when an ad network is wired, this section will name the network, describe the categories of data the network collects (see the Privacy page for the data-collection summary), and explain how to opt out where the law requires an opt-out path.

Sponsored content and gifts

StackTower AI does not currently accept paid placement, sponsored articles, guest posts written by vendors, or "review-for-pay" arrangements. We also do not currently accept free product samples, course access, or other in-kind gifts in exchange for coverage. If that policy changes, the change will be announced here before any sponsored or gifted content is published, and individual pieces will carry a clear sponsored or gifted label as required by 16 CFR Part 255.

Editorial independence

Recommendations on stacktower.ai are made by the editorial team based on a documented evaluation methodology, not on commercial relationships. We may recommend a product that pays us a commission, but we do not recommend a product because it pays us a commission, and we do not change our ranking, scoring, or coverage in response to advertiser pressure. When two products are similarly suitable for a reader's needs, we will say so even if only one of them has an affiliate program.

For details on how we choose what to cover, how we evaluate courses and tools, how corrections are handled, and how AI assistance is used in our drafting process, see our Editorial Policy and the methodology described on our About page.

Questions

If anything on the site looks like an undisclosed material connection, or if a disclosure is unclear, please write to hello@stacktower.ai. We treat disclosure complaints as a priority correction class under our editorial policy.
