Affiliate & Commercial Disclosure
Full compliance with FTC guidelines and academic transparency standards.
At DeepResearcher, our mission is to provide the academic and scientific community with uncompromising, empirically verified benchmarks of AI research tools. To fund the server infrastructure, multi-hop LLM compute, and CrossRef/PubMed API access required to maintain our evaluation laboratory, we utilize transparent funding models.
How We Fund Our Research
- Research Assistant Pro Subscriptions: Direct revenues from our proprietary literature synthesis software fund our dedicated benchmark testing pipelines.
- Affiliate Referral Commissions: Some external links to third-party tools (such as Elicit, Consensus, or SciSpace) may contain referral tracking links. If you choose to subscribe to a paid plan through these links, we may earn a referral commission at zero additional cost to you.
Zero Impact on Benchmark Rankings
We never accept payment in exchange for higher scores, favorable editor verdicts, or artificial citation audit adjustments. All scores on our Benchmark Leaderboard are determined strictly by our open mathematical formula and line-by-line DOI verification results.
