One rate · $0.10 per click

Pay only for the clicks you receive

No monthly retainer. No impression minimum. No rate card to decode. One published price of $0.10 per click — the same at 1,000 clicks and at 100,000 — and you are billed for nothing else.

  • $0.10 per click, from 1,000 clicks up to 100,000
  • Set a total budget and a daily cap — we stop at whichever comes first
  • Bots, repeat clicks and data-centre traffic are filtered before billing
  • Live dashboard built from the same numbers as the invoice

How it works

Four steps, no retainer

You set a budget, we place the links, you pay for the clicks that arrive. Nothing in between is billable.

1

Tell us where the clicks should land

One destination URL — your homepage, a pricing page, a signup form. We check it loads, is not a redirect chain and is not behind a paywall before anything goes live.

2

Pick a click count and a daily cap

Anything from 1,000 to 100,000 clicks in steps of 500. The daily cap decides how fast it spends; the total decides when it stops.

3

We place the link across the directory

Category pages, comparisons, alternatives, roundups and search results. Live within 24 hours of the budget landing.

4

You pay $0.10 for each verified click

Impressions are free. Bot traffic is free. Repeat clicks from the same visitor inside 24 hours are free. You are billed for the rest, and it stops dead when the budget is spent.

Rate card

One rate. Nothing to decode.

The same price whether you buy a thousand clicks or a hundred thousand.

Pay-per-click rate card — every click billed at the same price
Clicks CPC Total
1,000 – 100,000 $0.10 $100 – $10,000

Budgets move in steps of 500 clicks. Impressions are not billable, and neither are bot clicks, repeat clicks inside 24 hours or clicks from outside your targeting. Need more than 100,000 clicks? Tell us on the brief and we will quote the overflow separately.

Estimate

Move the slider, see the spend

The slider steps in 500 clicks. Whatever it shows is what you are charged — this is the same maths the invoice uses.

The package

What a click budget includes

Placements

Where your clicks come from

Your link runs across the whole directory, not one banner slot. Every one of these places can send a billable click.

Category pages

Inside the categories your product genuinely belongs to, next to the tools a buyer is already scrolling through.

Comparison pages

The head-to-head pages where somebody has narrowed it to two names and is looking for the tiebreaker.

Alternatives pages

"Alternatives to X" is the highest-intent page on any directory. The reader has already decided to switch.

Best-of roundups

The "best AI tool for X" lists, where a shortlist is being built rather than a name being checked.

Search results

On-site search, matched to the query. Somebody typing your category is the cheapest click you will ever buy.

Tool detail pages

The related and "people also viewed" rails on individual listings, including your competitors' pages.

Targeting

Show it to the right people

Targeting carries no premium here. Narrowing the audience costs the same $0.10 as running wide.

By category

Run only inside the categories where your product is a real answer. Everywhere else is wasted budget dressed up as reach.

By geography

Country or region. Useful when pricing, language or a support timezone makes a click from the wrong place worthless.

By device

Desktop only, mobile only, or both. A tool that needs a keyboard should not be paying for phone traffic.

By audience segment

Developers, marketers, founders, students, enterprise buyers — segmented from on-site behaviour, not from guesswork.

By competitor

Name the tools you win against and we place you on their comparison and alternatives pages.

By day and hour

Weekday business hours if that is when your sales team answers. The daily cap does the rest of the pacing.

Click quality

What you are never charged for

A pay-per-click rate is only honest if the click count is. Everything below is filtered out before your balance moves.

Bots and crawlers

Known crawlers, headless browsers and anything failing a basic behavioural check are dropped before the click is counted.

Repeat clicks

The same visitor clicking your link five times in an afternoon is one billable click, not five. The window is 24 hours.

Data-centre traffic

Clicks originating from hosting ranges and known proxy pools never reach your balance.

Accidental taps

A click that bounces back inside two seconds is treated as a misfire and refunded automatically.

Your own team

Send us the office IP ranges on the brief and we exclude them, so QA-ing your own campaign costs nothing.

Off-target clicks

If you targeted three categories, a click from outside them is not billable. Targeting is a filter, not a preference.

Reporting

You see everything we see

Clicks and spend, live

How many clicks have landed, what they cost and how much budget is left — updated continuously, not nightly.

Where each click came from

Broken down by placement, category and page, so you can see which surfaces actually work for you.

Filtered click log

What we rejected and why. The number you are not being charged for is as auditable as the number you are.

Conversion tracking

Add a pixel or a UTM set and the dashboard reports signups and revenue next to the clicks, not just the clicks.

Pacing and burn rate

Exactly how fast the budget is going and the date it runs out at the current rate.

Weekly summary email

A plain-English recap you can forward to whoever signs off the spend.

FAQ

Questions about paying per click

How much does a click cost?

Ten cents. $0.10 per click, from a 1,000-click budget all the way to 100,000, with no volume ladder and no negotiation needed to get the good rate — there is only one rate. A 1,000-click campaign costs $100 and a 100,000-click campaign costs $10,000.

Why does the slider move in 500s?

Because click budgets are not planned to the single click, and a slider that steps one at a time is unusable across a range this wide. 500 is the smallest increment that is still a real decision — $50 of spend. Type an exact number on the brief if you need one; it is snapped to the same grid before it is billed.

What is the minimum I can spend?

1,000 clicks, which is $100. There is no retainer, no setup fee and no minimum term on top of that — the click budget is the entire cost.

How do you count a click?

A click is one verified human visitor following your link to your site. Known bots and crawlers, headless browsers, data-centre and proxy ranges, repeat clicks from the same visitor inside 24 hours, clicks that bounce back within two seconds, and clicks from outside your targeting are all removed before your balance moves. The dashboard shows you what was filtered and why.

Can I set a daily limit?

Yes, and you should. The daily cap controls how fast the budget spends; the total controls when it stops. We pause the moment either is reached and resume the next day if the total still has room. Both are editable mid-campaign.

Where will my link actually appear?

Across the directory rather than in one banner slot — category pages, comparison and alternatives pages, best-of roundups, on-site search results and the related rails on individual tool pages, filtered to whatever targeting you set.

Does targeting cost extra?

No. Category, geography, device, audience, competitor and day-part targeting are all included at the same $0.10. Narrowing the audience usually raises your conversion rate and lowers your total spend, so charging a premium for it would be charging you to waste less of our inventory.

Can I pause or cancel?

Pause at any time from the dashboard — unspent budget stays on your account with no expiry. Cancel and we refund the unspent balance to the original payment method. You are never locked into a term.

What happens when the budget runs out?

The campaign stops. It does not roll over into an unapproved overspend, and it does not quietly keep serving. You get an email a few days before you hit the cap so there is time to top up if you want to.

How is this different from the packages on /advertise?

Everything on /advertise is bought by the month or by the placement — you are renting a position, whether or not anybody clicks. Here you are buying clicks and impressions are free. Most advertisers run a placement for visibility and pay-per-click for volume, but they are separate products with separate invoices.

Do I need a listing in the directory first?

No. Pay-per-click sends traffic to your own site, so a listing is not required. Having one usually helps, because a reader who wants to check you out before clicking through has somewhere to do it — but it is not a condition of buying clicks.

Can I see the numbers before I am billed?

The dashboard is live and the invoice is generated from it. There is no separate reporting system and no reconciliation gap — if the dashboard says 4,180 billable clicks, the invoice says $418.00.
