Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about advertising on the Boilerplate network.
How does the booking process work?
Fill out the booking form and tell us a bit about your product and which site or ad format you're interested in. We'll get back to you within 24 hours with availability, next steps, and pricing. Once everything is confirmed, your ad goes live on the agreed date.
How much does an ad cost?
Prices vary by site and format — sticker banners, image ads, and newsletter placements typically start around $199–$299 per month. We confirm the exact price for your chosen placement when we get back to you.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Spots are limited per format and are assigned first come, first served. We recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred launch date.
How do I submit my ad materials?
After your booking is confirmed, you send us your creatives, copy, and target link by email. We'll review everything, coordinate the details with you, and make sure your ad looks great before it goes live.
Can I customize the design of my ad?
Yes — all formats are customizable. You provide your branding and message, and we make sure the ad fits both your style and the look of the site it runs on.
Who will see my ads?
Your ads run across the Boilerplate network — sites where indie hackers, founders, and developers discover boilerplates, deals, and tools for their next project. An audience that is actively looking for products like yours.
What payment methods do you accept?
Payments are processed securely through Stripe, so you can pay by credit card or any other method Stripe supports. You'll receive an invoice for your records once payment is confirmed.
Is there a minimum contract length or spend?
No — there's no long-term contract and no minimum spend. You can book a single month, run a short campaign, or cancel anytime between bookings.
Can I cancel or get a refund?
You can cancel anytime for future bookings at no extra cost. If your ad hasn't gone live yet, we're happy to issue a refund — reach out via the contact page and we'll sort it out.
Can I book multiple sites or formats at once?
Yes — many advertisers run across several sites or formats at the same time for broader reach. Just mention it in your booking request and we'll put together a combined offer.
Do I get any stats or performance data for my ad?
Yes — on request we can share basic performance data (impressions/clicks) for your placement so you can gauge how your campaign is doing.
