Editorial Policy
Last updated: February 14, 2026
AIPhotoDeals.com is committed to providing accurate, helpful, and honest information. This policy explains how we create our content, rate tools, and verify coupon codes.
How We Review AI Photo Tools
Every tool we review is tested hands-on by our team. We use each tool on a standardized set of test images covering common use cases: product photos, portraits, landscapes, vintage photographs, and low-resolution source material. We evaluate and score each tool on five weighted criteria:
- Image Quality (30%): How well does the tool enhance detail, color, and sharpness? Does upscaling introduce artifacts?
- Ease of Use (20%): How intuitive is the interface? Can a non-technical user achieve good results quickly?
- Feature Set (20%): What capabilities does the tool offer? Upscaling, background removal, batch processing, API access, colorization, etc.
- Pricing & Value (20%): Is the pricing fair for what you get? How does the cost-per-image compare to alternatives?
- Speed & Performance (10%): How fast are processing times? Is the tool reliable under batch workloads?
Each criterion is scored on a 1 to 5 scale (in 0.1 increments). The final rating is the weighted average of all five scores, rounded to one decimal place. This methodology is applied consistently across all reviews on this site.
Independence from Affiliate Relationships
Our ratings and recommendations are editorially independent. We earn affiliate commissions (see our affiliate disclosure), but commission rates have zero influence on our scores. A tool with a high commission rate will receive a low score if it does not perform well in testing. Conversely, a tool with no affiliate program can still earn a high recommendation.
How We Verify Coupon Codes
Our coupon verification process follows these steps:
- Weekly testing: Every listed coupon code is manually tested at checkout at least once per week.
- Discount confirmation: We verify the exact discount percentage and confirm it applies to the stated product/plan.
- Expiration monitoring: We check for expiration dates, usage limits, or changed terms.
- Rapid updates: If a code stops working or terms change, we update or remove it within 48 hours.
The label "Verified" on our site means the code was confirmed working at our most recent test. It does not guarantee the code will work indefinitely, as brands can change terms at any time.
Reporting Issues
If you find a coupon code that no longer works, encounter inaccurate information, or believe a review is unfair, please contact us at contact@aiphotodeals.com. We take every report seriously and will investigate promptly.
Content Updates
All coupon pages, review pages, and comparison pages display a "Last updated" date. We re-verify and refresh this content regularly to ensure accuracy. Guide and use-case pages are updated when tools release significant new features or pricing changes.
