Thinking about pricing for Shameless Plug

One of the main differences between Shameless Plug and other advertising platforms like Google or Facebook is that we allow/require the developer to be in full control over the ads they display to the end user. This model requires some extra effort from the developer to find advertisers wanting to showcase their products within an app they have access to. In return, devs will keep all the revenue they make, while Shameless Plug handles all the backend work to display ads and provide relevant statistics about the goals both parties agreed on.

Having briefly explained what Shameless Plug does for developers and advertisers, let's talk about our pricing scheme for the upcoming September relaunch.

Once you register for the service, Shameless Plug will be free for development and light usage, allowing up to 300 monthly API calls. We'll monitor usage and make adjustments as needed, but this should be sufficient during development and for those using the service on personal blogs, niche apps, and websites.

Shameless Plug will offer a paid tier priced at $20/month or $200/year. This tier is designed to cover 99% of regular API usage with all features included. We won't take a commission from your sales, so make sure you get your money's worth 🚀. 

While we aim to keep things simple with just one paid tier to unlock all features, we will monitor API usage and reserve the right to move you to our 'Enterprise' tier if your usage is exceptionally high.

We believe that Shameless Plug will help you to display high quality ads and messages from advertisers you chose to work with. And in order to do that, we want to give you a quality product you can work with. Hopefully our simple pricing schema will help us achieve that goal.
