Affiliate Disclosure
Last Updated: October 2026
1. Why We Use Affiliate Links
Operating DT Global involves substantial ongoing expenses: purchasing software subscriptions with our own funds (such as the ElevenLabs Creator tier at $22/month), running performance benchmarks, maintaining cloud hosting infrastructure, and conducting deep research. Affiliate commissions allow us to remain self-funded and completely independent from sponsored brand deals.
2. Our Editorial Independence Guarantee
Our software ratings, benchmark scores, and verdicts are never for sale. We adhere strictly to the following editorial standards:
- No Paid Positive Reviews: We never accept payment from software vendors in exchange for a guaranteed positive review or inflated scorecard.
- Flaws Are Highlighted: If a tool burns credits too quickly, has poor regional language performance, or crashes during stress testing, we state it plainly.
- Equal Comparative Standards: All software within a given category (e.g., AI voice synthesis) is subjected to the same standardized testing scripts.
3. Cost to You
Clicking an affiliate link on DT Global does not increase the price you pay. In many instances, our partnership links provide you with exclusive discounts or promotional deals (for example, the $1 first-month Starter or $11 first-month Creator promo for ElevenLabs).
4. FTC Compliance Statement
In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255), readers should assume that every link leading to an external commercial product or service on this site is an affiliate link.
