Frequently asked questions

DevAds is an advertising platform designed specifically for users. It brings relevant, non-intrusive ads for user tools, SaaS products, and APIs directly into your workflow, allowing you to discover new tools and earn rewards for your attention.

When you have the DevAds extension installed, you'll see small, non-disruptive ads in designated areas of your editor (like the terminal output). You earn rewards simply by viewing and occasionally interacting with these relevant ads.

We believe in fair value exchange. 50% of the eligible revenue generated from the ads shown to you goes directly to you as a reward. The other 50% is used to maintain and grow the DevAds platform.

DevAds is designed to be completely non-intrusive. Ads will primarily appear in secondary areas of your editor, such as integrated terminal outputs or dedicated unobtrusive sidebar panels, never obscuring your actual code.

Yes. Our initial release is focused entirely on providing a first-class experience for Visual Studio Code via an official extension.

While it won't replace your salary, early estimates suggest users can earn between $10 to $30 per month. Actual rewards depend on various factors including ad availability, your location, advertiser demand, and your engagement.

No, rewards are not guaranteed. They fluctuate based on the volume of advertising campaigns running, your geographical location, and how much time you spend actively coding with the extension enabled.

Absolutely not. DevAds is built by users who hate being interrupted. There are no pop-ups, flashing banners, or modals. The ads are designed to look and feel like native parts of your development environment.

We are starting exclusively with VS Code to perfect the experience. Once we have a stable and loved product there, we will explore support for JetBrains IDEs and other popular editors.

No. We don't share or analyze your source code. The only information shared to serve relevant ads is your System OS, IDE name, and Country.

The DevAds extension is completely open-source and published on GitHub. You can review the code yourself for full transparency on exactly what data is transmitted.
