Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about sponsoring developer experiences.
DevAds are displayed natively and non-intrusively within VS Code and its ecosystem. Your ads will primarily appear in secondary areas of the developer's editor, such as integrated terminal outputs or dedicated unobtrusive sidebar panels, ensuring high visibility without interrupting active coding workflows.
Our audience consists of active software engineers, developers, and tech professionals who utilize Visual Studio Code. This is a highly technical, high-intent audience looking for developer tools, APIs, SaaS products, hosting, databases, and educational resources.
You can target developer audiences contextually based on their development environment (IDE name, OS), geographic location (country level), and specific categories of tools they are using, all without invading their privacy.
Privacy is our core value. DevAds does not read, scan, or upload source code. Our extension is completely open-source and verified. The only data shared to serve relevant ads is the system OS, IDE name, country, and category-level context.
We provide an advertiser dashboard that tracks key performance indicators including impressions, clicks, and Click-Through Rate (CTR). Because ads are shown contextually in the active workspace, they yield significantly higher CTRs compared to traditional web banners.
DevAds utilizes a real-time risk engine that analyzes installation IDs, rate limits, and duration mismatches to identify and reject suspicious impressions.
We enforce server-authoritative criteria requiring a minimum active duration verified by both client and server timestamps, supported by active heartbeat signals.
