Sponsorship

Two ways to buy a better seat.

Neither one buys a different Monday. The weekly drop is why anyone comes back, so everything publishes together — sponsorship changes where you sit, not when.

One-off

Featured launch

$49 once

  • Top of your issue, above every free listing
  • A hatched card — the one visual device we don't hand out
  • Homepage slot for the week your issue runs
  • No badge requirement, now or ever
Submit and take it

Monthly

Site-wide sponsor

$99 / month

  • Your card under every issue, every page, all month
  • Three slots at a time, never more
  • Cancel from your own Stripe portal, no email required

What sponsorship doesn't buy

  • Votes. Those come from readers, and we don't seed them.
  • Editorial approval. A featured listing still gets read by a moderator and can still be turned down — you get refunded, not published.
  • A dofollow link on the sponsor card. Site-wide paid placements are rel="sponsored", because that's what they are. Your listing's own link is the plain one.
