Advertising on Uneed
If you want visibility on Uneed beyond a launch day, there are three paid placements. Here's what each one is and what it costs.
The audience
- ~90,000 monthly visitors, mostly indie makers, founders and early adopters looking for new tools
- 75 DR domain
- 22,000 newsletter subscribers, around a 40% open rate
1. Premium Spot
Featured placement across all listing pages, independent of votes and ranking. One-time payment:
| Duration | Price |
|---|---|
| 1 month | $197 |
| 3 months | $497 |
| 6 months | $897 |
There are only 5 Premium Spots at a time, so availability depends on what's free when you buy. Full details in Premium Spot.
2. Main homepage banner
The single large ad slot on the homepage. $297/month.
It's one advertiser at a time, which is why it's often sold out — when it is, ask us to put you on the waiting list and we'll tell you when it frees up.
This is the most visible placement on the site, and the price reflects that. We don't discount it heavily; if the budget doesn't work, a Premium Spot is usually the better fit.
3. Newsletter sponsorship
A sponsored slot in the Uneed newsletter. $399 per issue, to 22,000 subscribers at roughly a 40% open rate.
Good for a launch, a big feature release or a seasonal offer — it's a one-shot burst rather than sustained presence.
Tracking your results
Every click leaving Uneed through a paid placement already carries tracking parameters, so you'll see it in your own analytics without setting anything up:
?ref=uneed.best&utm_source=uneed.best&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=uneed.best
We can also send you a monthly report on impressions and clicks — just ask.
How to buy
Premium Spots are on the pricing page and on /advertise. For the homepage banner and newsletter sponsorship, or for anything custom, email us and we'll sort it out directly.
What about partner perks?
We're not taking on new partners for the /perks page at the moment. If that changes, it'll be announced in the newsletter.
