01 Who reads this site
This page exists for one kind of reader: someone comparing development companies before sending out a request for proposals. That is usually a technical lead, a product owner or a founder with a defined budget and a contract that will handle funds, ownership or access control.
It is a small audience with high intent rather than a large general one. If your product serves that reader, a placement here is worth discussing. If it does not, it will not perform, and we would rather say so early.
02 What we offer
Format 01
Display placement
A clearly labelled banner or panel between editorial sections. Static image or text, no third-party ad scripts and no behavioural targeting.
Format 02
Sponsored article
A separate page you supply or we write to brief, labelled as sponsored at the top and excluded from the comparison ranking.
Format 03
Resource listing
An entry in a clearly separated partners block, distinct from the editorial top ten, with a short description of your service.
Every format is sold on a flat fee for a fixed period. We do not run cost-per-click or affiliate revenue-share arrangements on the comparison itself, because paying us per click would give us a reason to order the list by payout rather than by fit.
03 What money cannot buy
The comparison on the homepage is editorial. Its ordering comes from public sources measured against four stated criteria, and it is not for sale at any price.
- Position in the top ten. Not purchasable, and not adjustable by a current or former advertiser.
- Inclusion in the top ten. Advertising with us does not add a company to the editorial list.
- Removal of a competitor. We do not remove or downgrade a company at the request of another.
- Approval rights over our wording. Sponsors do not review editorial copy about themselves or anyone else before it is published.
- Removal of criticism. Each entry notes the kind of project the company is a weaker fit for. That stays.
At the time of writing, the top ten contains no paid placements, which is what the homepage methodology states. If that ever changes, the change will be disclosed there first, not buried on this page.
04 Link and labelling policy
We follow search engine guidance on paid links, and we would rather lose a deal than risk the site over an undisclosed one.
If your brief requires an undisclosed dofollow link or a guaranteed position in the editorial list, we are not the right site, and we will say no.
05 What we decline
We turn down campaigns that would put readers at risk or misrepresent what they are looking at:
- Token sales, presales, yield promises and anything that reads as investment solicitation.
- Claims of guaranteed returns, guaranteed audit outcomes or guaranteed security.
- Creatives designed to look like editorial content or like part of the ranking table.
- Third-party ad tags that set tracking cookies, since the site currently sets none.
- Unverifiable metrics presented as fact, in either your copy or ours.
06 How it works
- Enquiry. Tell us the product, the audience you want and the period you have in mind.
- Fit check. We say plainly whether this audience matches, and decline if it does not.
- Media kit. We send current traffic figures, available formats and pricing. Figures are measured, not estimated.
- Creative review. We check the placement against the rules above and flag anything that needs changing.
- Live. The placement runs for the agreed period, labelled, with the correct link attributes.
