How the money moves

  1. The advertiser books

    They pick a page and a format, write the ad, and send it for approval. Nothing is charged yet.

  2. You approve, they pay

    Once you say yes, the advertiser pays the listed price. AdSworn holds the money, so it's safe on both sides.

  3. It goes live, you get paid

    Our snippet confirms the ad is live on your page. Then we pay you the price minus 15%.

  4. Anything off, they're refunded

    Declined, or never went live? The advertiser gets every cent back, and nobody pays a fee.

What the 15% pays for

  • Your traffic, verified with Google and shown to every buyer
  • A storefront for every page, with prices and a request button
  • Buyers we bring to you, matched to your pages
  • Ad serving, view and click counting, and delivery reports
  • Holding payment, card processing and paying you out

Straight answers

Is it really free to list?

Yes. No listing fee, no monthly fee, no setup fee, no contract. You only pay when a sponsor pays you.

Do advertisers pay anything extra?

No. Advertisers pay exactly the price on the page. Our fee comes out of the publisher's payout, never on top of the price.

Who pays card processing?

It's covered by our 15%. The number you see is the number that moves.

Why do you hold the money?

So advertisers know they only pay for ads that actually run, and publishers know the money is there before they publish anything.
