What you get
Featured in the newsletter
With the Site + Newsletter option, your tool gets a featured slot in one newsletter issue as well.
Honest labeling
Every sponsored card carries a visible “Sponsored” label and a rel="sponsored" link. We never disguise ads as editorial.
Editorial independence
Sponsors cannot buy or change a tier or rank. Rankings stay editorial opinion.
The audience
AI Loadout is for people who are into AI and the tools around it: AI agent builders and automation fans, developers and vibe coders, creators using image, video and audio generators, gamers and game developers, and curious tech people looking for the right tool for a job. They come to us to decide what to try next.
The site is new, so we do not publish traffic or subscriber statistics. Ask us for current numbers before you buy.

FAQ
Do sponsors affect the rankings?
No. Sponsorship buys a clearly labeled placement, never a tier or rank. Sponsored cards are visually separate from the ranked lists.
Do you publish traffic or subscriber numbers?
Not yet. The site and newsletter are new, and we will not quote numbers we cannot back up. Ask us for current figures before you buy.
Which tools can sponsor?
AI tools and services relevant to our audience. We may decline anything misleading, unsafe or off-topic.
