How does the ad rotation work?

Every active advertiser rotates through the ad slots across the whole site. Each tier rotates twice as often as the one below it. There is no fixed share of voice, so your share depends on how many advertisers are live.

How many impressions and clicks will I get?

Each plan shows a monthly estimate based on September 2026 delivery, adjusted for a rotation fix that now gives Platinum its full share. Real numbers move with traffic and with how many advertisers are live. For reference, a Gold ad got about 1,200 clicks in September.

What do I need to provide?

Your company name, website, a short description and a logo. Gold and Platinum ads can add a banner image for the homepage sponsor grid. You submit everything right after checkout.

How fast does my ad go live?

We review every ad before it goes live, usually within one business day. If we can't approve your ad, we'll refund your payment.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Plans renew automatically until you cancel, and there is no minimum term. Email us at hello@openalternative.co and we'll cancel at the end of your current billing period.

Do you send invoices?

Yes. Stripe emails you an invoice for every payment.

OpenAlternative has been a solid traffic source for our website since we partnered up with them. Their sponsor placement, in particular, delivered great results, giving us a noticeable 10–20% traffic boost. Piotr has done an excellent job with OpenAlternative and it’s clear from the platform’s traffic, engagement, and audience quality. Highly recommended!
