Why it works

High intent

Visitors arrive comparing tools and ready to integrate — not passive browsers.

Broad inventory

APIs, AI models and AI tools — three catalogs, one engaged audience.

Evergreen reach

SEO detail pages keep ranking for months, so a placement keeps working.

Honest by default

Every placement is labeled “Sponsored” and never touches editorial rankings.

Pricing

Simple, honest pricing

Monthly, no contracts. The cheapest tier is just a small logo; bigger tiers add a tasteful banner across more pages. No pop-ups, no auto-play, no third-party tracking — clean native placements that don’t get in your users’ way.

Questions

Will sponsoring change my rating or ranking?

No — placement only. Ratings, rankings and pros/cons are editorial and never for sale. See our Advertising Disclosure.

How is a placement labeled?

Always clearly marked “Sponsored” or “Paid placement” so visitors know what’s paid vs. organic.

Can I run a single month?

Yes — Category Spotlight and Homepage & Catalog are month-to-month with no contract. Launch Partner is tailored to your timeline.

What do you need to start?

A logo (SVG preferred), a destination URL, and any copy. Email sponsors@freeapihub.com and we handle the rest.
