A few useful details
Does sponsorship buy an editorial recommendation?
No. Sponsored cards are always labeled “Sponsored.” The tool’s directory page and description stay the same, and payment never buys a review or a better description.
Are clicks or signups guaranteed?
No. ShortStack is a new directory, and we don’t guarantee clicks or signups. We count clicks from your sponsored card and can email you the numbers whenever you ask. For current visitor numbers, email hello@shortstack.tools before you book.
When does my placement start, and how do I cancel?
Your card goes live automatically a few minutes after payment, and renews each month. Cancel anytime by emailing hello@shortstack.tools; your spot stays up until the end of the month you’ve paid for. The $99 featured placement doesn’t include newsletter placement. Newsletter mentions are part of a custom partner campaign.
