One sponsor. One strip. Category-exclusive.
In front of the buyer, at the decision.
CICDCost.com reaches engineering leaders and platform teams at the moment they are pricing CI/CD and building the business case, with a growing share arriving from AI assistants citing the page. One company can sponsor that: category-exclusive, clearly labelled, and never a vendor we evaluate, which is what makes the association worth having.
Who you reach
Full metrics on request- High-intent, at the decision. Engineering leaders and platform teams pricing CI/CD: heads of platform, DevOps and SRE leads, and the finance partners building the business case. Mid-decision, hard to reach, exactly the buyer you want in front of.
- Scarce by design. Exactly one slot, exclusive to the sponsor's category. A clean, scarce association with research these buyers already trust, not a rotating ad unit.
- The model is proven. Cribl is the founding sponsor of our sister site, siemcostcalculator.com, on this same disclosed, category-exclusive model.
What the sponsor gets
- A single labelled strip across the site: “Independent research, supported by X”. Plain language, clearly marked as sponsorship, with
rel="sponsored"on every sponsor link. - Category exclusivity. While the sponsorship runs, no other company in the sponsor's category appears in the strip.
- A monthly performance report covering how the strip performed, sent directly by the operator.
- A founding rate. Early sponsors lock their rate for as long as they hold the slot. Pricing is discussed by email, not published.
Independent by design
Rankings, comparisons and calculator placement here are never for sale, and the sponsor is never a vendor we evaluate. That is not a limitation, it is the point. Your brand sits next to research these buyers already trust, disclosed plainly, which is worth far more than a slot they scroll past.
Start the conversation
Say who you are and which category you would hold, and ask for the full traffic and AI-citation breakdown. If the slot is taken, you can join the waitlist. Not sure your category qualifies? Ask anyway. If this site is not the fit, another in the network usually is.
