Paying for one placement at a time?
Most founders buy sponsor slots on directories one by one. Expensive, no stats, no reach.
| One directory sponsor | Adventory | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | $30-50 | From $20 |
| Reach | 1 site | Multiple sites |
| Your ad | Stacked in a sidebar with 5 others | Native banner or card, one per page |
| Stats | A pageview number, maybe | Impressions, clicks, spend in real time |
| Duration | Fixed (usually 1 month) | Runs until budget is spent |
Tried the big networks?
Google Ads gives you volume with no quality. Carbon and EthicalAds won't let you in.

| Minimum | $1 (but no results) | Sales call | $1,000 | $20 |
| Audience | Everyone and bots | Dev sites (invite only) | Docs sites (invite only) | Indie launch sites, directories, dev sites |
| Self-serve | Yes | No | Partially | Yes |
| Approval | Instant (no curation) | Months waitlist | Weeks | 24 hours |
