ABOUT AI APP SLEUTH
Twenty years inside these launches. Now investigating them.
AI App Sleuth is written by Brett Ingram, who has spent two decades building, launching, and promoting software on the same platforms this site investigates — and now applies what that taught him to the offers you’re being sold.
Why this site exists.
Most reviews of AI and internet-marketing software are written by affiliates working from the vendor’s own swipe file, often without opening the product. The verdict is decided before any research starts, and the only real question is which bonus stack gets the click.
AI App Sleuth investigates the deal instead: the real price and the full upsell funnel, the refund terms as actually written, the vendor’s track record across previous launches, and what buyers publicly said afterward. Every review states exactly how it was researched, separates vendor claims from what could be verified independently, and discloses the affiliate relationship in plain language.

Why a vendor’s track record matters here.
Knowing how a launch is assembled changes what you notice about it. Brett has written the sales pages, priced the upsells, set the refund windows, and recruited the affiliates. So when the genuinely useful feature sits behind OTO 2, when “unlimited” carries a fair-use clause, when a 30-day guarantee has conditions that quietly void it, or when a vendor’s last three launches all went quiet after 60 days — those are recognizable patterns rather than guesses.
That is the experience behind every investigation on this site. It is also the reason for the disclosure below.
THE CONFLICT, STATED PLAINLY
I sell on the same platform I review.
I’m an active vendor and a top-tier affiliate on JVZoo, where many of the products covered here launch. That is a genuine conflict of interest, and burying it would be worse than having it. So here is exactly how I handle it:
- I don’t review products I or Levrige LLC sell as the vendor.
- Where a product’s vendor is someone I have an existing business relationship with, I state that relationship in the review itself.
- I earn affiliate commissions on some links. A commission has never changed a rating, and the rating criteria are published in advance.
- Reviews are research-based. I say so on every one, and I say what was verified and what could not be.
- There are no sponsored placements. No vendor can pay for coverage, position, or a higher score.
