Promotion pricing
Featured and Sponsored Pricing
One shared promotion model across StackLens. Featured and Sponsored pricing stays the same across business software, healthcare, and logistics listings.
Featured — $99 / month
Featured is for companies that want stronger category visibility without taking over the page.
- Priority placement inside the listing's category
- Featured badge and stronger card treatment
- Best fit when you want more qualified attention but not the most aggressive placement
Sponsored — $249 / month
Sponsored is for companies that want the most prominent paid visibility StackLens offers.
- Top-of-directory sponsored placement where sponsored modules are enabled
- Sponsored badge plus featured category treatment
- Best fit when launch timing, campaign visibility, or competitive positioning matters most
How promotion goes live
Claim approval comes first. Verified owners can then start self-serve checkout from the listing page or owner portal.
Payment starts the billing request, but Featured and Sponsored visibility only go live after manual review and approval.
This review step is shared across all StackLens verticals so the public directory and the paid overlay never collapse into a single automatic publish action.
Do I need to claim my listing first?
Yes. Paid promotion is only available to verified owners. Claim approval comes first, then billing can start from the listing page or owner portal.
How does checkout work?
Checkout creates the billing request and Stripe subscription, but payment does not publish premium placement by itself. The request moves into paid pending review until the StackLens team approves it.
What happens after approval?
Once approved, the listing is rebuilt with its Featured or Sponsored promotion tier and the placement goes live on StackLens under the same pricing rules across all verticals.
What if a subscription is canceled or payment fails?
Canceled subscriptions lose premium visibility. Failed invoices enter a grace window first, then expire if billing is not resolved. StackLens keeps manual review and billing state separate so unpaid placements do not stay premium indefinitely.
Can I change or stop a placement later?
Yes. Verified owners can manage billing from the portal, and placement changes still follow the same review and publication process.
