## Questions and answers

### What do I get for $99?

One of three sponsored cards for 30 consecutive days. Your card appears on every public page: woven into the homepage, category, tag and search feeds (matching categories first), on app pages, near the top of journal articles, and as a labeled banner under the intro of tools, guides and every other page. It uses your app's reviewed name, logo and tagline, is always labeled Sponsored, and links directly to your website. The price is in USD; any applicable tax is shown at checkout.

### When does my ad start?

After payment is confirmed. Your full 30 days starts then, and the card disappears automatically at the end. Checkout temporarily reserves a position; an unfinished checkout releases it after expiry and a short payment-confirmation window.

### Do I need a listing first?

Yes. Submit your app, pass review, then publish with a verified badge, the $9 one-time Featured option, or a free listing without a badge. Choose that live app here to book its sponsored placement. Ads remain subject to review and are hidden if the listing is taken down.

### Is this the same as Featured?

No. Featured is a $9 one-time, badge-free directory listing. A homepage ad is a separate $99 placement lasting 30 days. Buying an ad does not change your listing tier or its badge requirements.

### Can I get a refund?

Featured listings and homepage ads are non-refundable, with no money-back guarantee, except where required by law or Dodo Payments' buyer terms, or where we cannot deliver the purchased listing or ad.

### Will I be charged again?

No. This is a one-time payment, with no automatic renewal. After your ad ends, you can book again if a position is available.

### What if all three positions are taken?

Booking closes until a position becomes available. We check availability again when you open checkout so two advertisers cannot reserve the same position.

### Are clicks or rankings guaranteed?

No. You are buying labeled sponsored placements for a fixed time. Cards appear after the first few apps in a feed, never at the top, and are skipped on a page that already shows your app. We do not promise visitor counts, clicks, search rankings or AI recommendations.

### What if my payment arrives after the slot is released?

If your position is still available, your ad starts with the full 30 days. If it has been booked by someone else, the ad stays private and we flag your order for a refund. You can see that status below.
