The short version
- I'm a SHIFT AI member. If you join SHIFT through a link on this site, SHIFT pays me a referral reward.
- The calculator does the same math whether you join or not. Every price, rate and assumption is on the rate sheet.
- Don't join SHIFT expecting to make money from referrals. SHIFT's own income figures are below.
Which links pay me
These links carry my referral code, so SHIFT credits me if you join through them:
- The "See the full stack" button on the calculator (currently
go.shiftai.club/tooltaxhq). - The club levels and Enterprise links (shiftai.club pages ending in
?ref=tooltaxhq). - SHIFT links I share in the newsletter and on YouTube and TikTok.
Links to the other tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney and the rest) are plain links to their own pricing pages. No tool vendor pays to be listed, and the order and prices on the site aren't affected by any payment.
What it doesn't change
- Your price. Joining through my link doesn't add anything to what SHIFT charges you.
- The numbers. Competitor prices are regular monthly list prices with checked-on dates. SHIFT credit costs come from SHIFT's studios and rate list. The usage assumptions are published, and so is the arithmetic.
- What you see if SHIFT doesn't fit. If your tool tax is lower than the membership price, the calculator says so.
Earnings
SHIFT's club levels include a member rewards plan that pays members when people they refer buy. That's how I'm paid, and it's open to other members too. Because the calculator mentions it, here is what SHIFT itself says, word for word from the same data the calculator uses:
A median is the middle result: at least half of members earned that amount or less. Don't count on referral income. If SHIFT is worth it to you, it should be for the tools.
The line under the button
The calculator shows a short version of this page next to the "See the full stack" button:
Disclosure: Tool Tax is a SHIFT AI member and earns a referral reward if you join through this link.
