What you can buy
Founders can pay for time-limited placements: the homepage sponsored slot, the sponsor panel and category page slots. Prices and durations are shown on the promote page before checkout.
How sponsored placements are shown
- Every paid placement carries a visible “Sponsored” label.
- Sponsored slots are separate from organic lists — they never replace or reorder ranked results.
- Placements start and end automatically at the times shown at checkout.
Editor's picks
Editor's picks are selected by the TrueValue team and are never sold as a promotion package. They are separate from sponsored placement and revenue verification.
What paying does not do
- It does not change organic rankings, trending scores, upvotes or search order.
- It does not grant or affect the verified revenue badge. Only a successful Stripe verification does that.
- It does not guarantee traffic, sales, or recommendations by search engines, ChatGPT or any other AI system. We can't control what third-party systems do.
Eligibility and refunds
Products must be published and follow our terms. We may decline or end a placement that breaks them; in that case unused time is refunded. Payment status is confirmed by our payment provider, never by the browser.
