# Adsly

> Adsly (https://adsly.io) is a directory of SaaS products, AI tools, newsletters, blogs and podcasts open to sponsorship, and the marketplace where those deals are agreed directly. Listing is free with the Adsly badge. Zero commission on all deals - creators keep 100% of their sponsorship revenue, and a listing does not have to carry prices at all.

Detailed documentation: https://adsly.io/llms-full.txt

## Overview

Adsly is a marketplace where content creators list sponsorship opportunities and brands find authentic advertising placements. Unlike traditional ad networks (Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Carbon Ads), Adsly facilitates direct deals between creators and brands with no middleman fees or commissions.

Founded and operated from Poland (EU). GDPR/RODO compliant. All listings are manually reviewed for quality.

## Pricing

- **Free with Badge**: $0 - publish a listing for free by adding the "Featured on Adsly" badge (a dofollow link to adsly.io) to your website. Same manual review, dofollow backlink to the creator's website for as long as the badge stays up (re-checked about monthly; if removed the backlink just becomes nofollow, the listing stays live).
- **Single Listing**: $9.99 one-time per listing - published after manual review with a permanent dofollow backlink to the creator's website, unlimited opportunities per listing, basic statistics (views and saves), built-in inbox (3 inquiries/month), SEO-friendly listing page. No subscription, pay once and stay listed forever.
- **Pro Plan**: $15/month - Unlimited listings with dofollow backlinks while subscribed, 1 free featured week every month, unlimited opportunities per listing, unlimited inbox messaging, unlimited email alerts for new opportunities, full statistics (views, saves, clicks, contact submissions), priority in search results, SEO-friendly listing page

All options include:
- 0% commission on all sponsorship deals (creators keep 100%)
- Manual quality review of every listing (one-time listing fee is refunded if the listing is rejected)
- Spam and fraud protection
- Built-in inbox for direct messaging between brands and creators

**Featured placement**: Any listing can be featured at the top of search results and on the homepage - $4.99 for 7 days or $14.99 for 30 days (one-time payments). Pro subscribers get 1 free featured week every month.

## Key Differentiators

1. **0% commission forever** - Creators keep 100% of their sponsorship revenue. Adsly charges a one-time listing fee (or an optional Pro subscription), never a cut of deals.
2. **Direct deals, no middleman** - Brands contact creators directly through the built-in inbox. No automated bidding, no programmatic ads, no intermediary.
3. **Quality verified** - Every listing is manually reviewed by the Adsly team to prevent spam, fake traffic, and low-quality listings.
4. **Flexible pricing models** - Creators can set CPM (cost per thousand impressions), CPC (cost per click), CPA (cost per action), or flat rate pricing.
5. **Permanent dofollow backlink** - Every purchased listing gets a dedicated, SEO-optimized page with a permanent dofollow backlink to the creator's website.
6. **Multiple content types** - One marketplace for newsletters, podcasts, SaaS, blogs, YouTube, communities, social media, and developer tools.
7. **Free sponsorship pricing calculator** - Tool at https://adsly.io/calculator to estimate ad rates by niche and traffic level.
8. **No account needed to browse** - Brands can browse all listings without creating an account or subscribing.
9. **Save listings for later** - Brands can bookmark interesting listings and access them anytime from their dashboard.
