Sponsor TierVerdict

Put your developer tool in front of people who are actively deciding which AI coding plan to pay for, on a site whose entire reputation is being straight about numbers.

The honest numbers

Audience stats: not available yet. TierVerdict launched publicly on 2026-10-19, so there is no meaningful traffic history yet. We will not show projections, "estimated reach" or borrowed numbers. When there are real analytics (monthly visitors, newsletter subscribers), we will publish them on this page, with the date they were measured. Until then, early sponsors are buying a founding spot, not a proven audience, and we price it that way.

What we can say truthfully: the audience is developers, DevOps and platform engineers comparing paid AI coding subscriptions. The site is built for people who are comparing prices and quotas, which is a purchase-consideration moment. We make no claims beyond that until we have measured data.

Placements

Featured slot

A single clearly labelled "Sponsored" banner above the comparison table on the home page. One sponsor at a time.

Newsletter sponsor line

A short, labelled sponsor message in The TierVerdict Weekly. Subscriber count published once real.

Plan-page slot

A labelled box on the plan pages that match your product category (for example, a model provider on coding-agent pages).

Affiliate partnerships

Separate from sponsorship: a performance-based link on a plan page. We have no affiliate partnerships today; if that changes, links will be clearly labeled and will never change rankings or data.

Founding-sponsor pricing on request.

Editorial rules sponsors accept

  • Sponsored means labelled. Every paid placement is labelled "Sponsored" with the sponsor's name, and every affiliate link is labelled "Paid link".
  • No pay-for-data. Sponsors cannot edit, delay or remove prices, quotas, the change log or user reports, including their own. Errors are fixed when a source shows them.
  • No pay-for-rank. The table sorts only by the visitor's chosen column; sponsorship never changes order.
  • Competitors stay listed. Sponsoring does not remove or demote a rival's row.
  • Fit matters. Developer tools only; we may decline offers that aren't relevant or that we can't stand behind.

Who this is for

Coding-agent and IDE vendors, model and inference providers, developer-infrastructure and DevOps tooling, and anyone selling to engineers who watch their AI spend.
