Questions
How does billing work?
Ads are billed weekly through Stripe and renew automatically until you cancel. Early advertisers get a lower weekly price that stays locked for as long as the ad runs.
Will I be reminded before I'm charged again?
Yes. We email you about 2 days before every renewal with the amount and date, plus a cancel link.
How do I cancel?
From your dashboard, in one click. Your ad keeps running until the end of the week you've paid for, and you won't be charged again.
When does my ad go live?
We review every ad, usually within a day. If we can't approve it, we cancel the subscription and refund that week.
Where will people see it?
In the sponsor rails beside company profiles, research pages and launch results on desktop, and in dedicated placements on mobile. The Newsletter and Sidebar + Newsletter plans include a mention in the weekly newsletter, with at most 6 sponsors per issue.
Does advertising affect rankings or grades?
No. Ads stay separate from research, rankings and directory grades.
Can I see traffic numbers first?
Yes. Request traffic stats by email and we’ll send what we have.
