What $29/mo gets you
For AI tools selling to founders, indie hackers and builders who check real revenue before they buy. Two labelled placements, real reach numbers, month to month.
- Labelled "Sponsor" row on /leaderboard/ — purple style, not ranked, never in the sort.
- Mon/Wed/Fri newsletter mention — labelled box in the email (11 newsletter subscribers today).
~710 unique browsers/mo researching AI businesses · 11 newsletter subscribers (23.5% open rate). Mix: Direct 51% · Reddit 25% · Google 15% · ChatGPT 6%.
Live after we agree on copy (first charge that day). Month to month — cancel any time. Rate locked 6 months. 2 of 2 free first-2-months offers left.
$29/mo ≈ 4¢ per unique monthly browser, or 97¢/day, at ~710 browsers. Not a click or lead guarantee — we publish real traffic, not invented ones.
Listed ≠ sponsoring. Ranked rows are editorial (payment-verified businesses we researched). A sponsor gets a separate labelled row that never changes evidence labels or rank. Get verified if you want a case study instead.
We reply within 3 business days from Cydel. No card until we agree on copy and the row goes live.
