Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: April 2026

We may earn a commission when you sign up for video chat platforms through links on this site. This never affects our ratings or rankings. Our reviews are based entirely on independent testing.

How Affiliate Links Work on This Site

When you click a link on Meet Real Girls and sign up for a platform (primarily Coomeet, our #1 recommended platform), we earn a commission from that platform. This is a standard practice used by review websites across every product category — from electronics to insurance to dating platforms.

The commission is typically a percentage of the subscription fee you pay to the platform. If you sign up for Coomeet premium through our link, Coomeet pays us a portion of that $14.99/month. This is how we fund the 2,000+ hours of testing, server costs, and time required to maintain 286+ pages of independent content.

This model is transparent and industry-standard. The key question is: does it influence our reviews? Our answer is no — and here's exactly why.

Why Affiliate Revenue Doesn't Affect Our Ratings

We Test First, Recommend Second

We form our ratings based on hands-on testing — 100+ connections per platform across multiple devices and locations. Our recommendations come from test data, not from which platforms pay us the highest commission rates. If a platform scores poorly in testing, it scores poorly in our rankings regardless of affiliate relationship.

We Reject Placement Payments

We have been approached by platforms offering payment for better placement in our rankings. We have declined every one. Better placement must be earned through testing performance, not purchased. If a platform we rank poorly offered us money to improve its ranking, we would decline — and we have.

We Retest and Update Regardless of Revenue

If a platform we recommend performs worse in a future test cycle, we update the rating. This happens even when it means a platform we earn affiliate revenue from drops in our rankings. Our quarterly retesting protocol is designed specifically to catch performance degradation — not to protect affiliate relationships.

Our #1 Pick Earned Its Position

Coomeet is our #1 pick because it scored 9.4/10 in our testing — highest of any platform we've evaluated. It happens to also be our primary affiliate partner, but the causation runs in the correct direction: we recommend Coomeet because of its test performance, and we have an affiliate relationship with it because it's the platform our readers actually use.

What This Means For You

When you use our links to sign up for a platform, you support the testing work that keeps this site running. You pay the same price you would pay directly — the platform doesn't charge you more because you came through our link. You just don't pay us directly; the platform does.

TheAffiliate Disclosure notice appears on every review page on this site. If you ever see a discrepancy between our ratings and what we write in our reviews (e.g., if a platform with a high rating appears to have significant problems), please let us know. Reader trust is more valuable to us than any affiliate commission.

If you prefer to navigate directly to a platform without using our affiliate links, you can do so — the platform's pricing and features are identical. Our links are just a convenience that helps fund this work. Every button on this site is an affiliate link, but every recommendation is independent.

Platforms We Have Affiliate Relationships With

As of April 2026, we have affiliate relationships with the following platforms — meaning we earn a commission when you sign up through our links:

We do not have affiliate relationships with platforms rated below 7.5/10, including Omegle (defunct), Chatspin (5.5/10), or Monkey (4.0/10). The platforms we recommend are the platforms that earned top scores in testing — the affiliate relationships came after the recommendations, not before.

Questions About Our Affiliate Model

No. When you sign up through our affiliate link, you pay the same price as if you went directly to the platform. The commission comes from the platform, not from you. There's no extra cost to you.
Our testing protocol is independent. We measure real user rates, verification enforcement, match speed, gender balance, moderation quality, and pricing fairness. These are objective metrics. Coomeet scores 9.4 because it scored 9.4 — not because we have an affiliate relationship with it. If Coomeet's score dropped in a future retest, we would update the rating even if it meant earning less commission.
Yes. Several platforms that had reasonable scores in earlier testing rounds dropped significantly in later retests — typically due to bot influxes or moderation failures. We removed or demoted them from recommendations regardless of affiliate relationship status. Monkey (4.0/10) and Chatspin (5.5/10) are current examples of platforms we don't recommend despite potentially having affiliate availability.
Absolutely. Email us at [email protected]. We read every message and take reader concerns about independence seriously. If you believe our recommendations are being influenced by affiliate revenue, we want to hear about it.
