FAQ
Developer audience FAQ
Pricing, targeting and what a click means.
How much does a Devshot placement cost?
Each placement and package has a fixed price in the media kit, with no bidding and no minimum budget. Lead Generation is priced per click or per lead instead. Ask for the media kit and we reply within 24 hours.
Can I reach only CTOs, or only one programming language?
The media kit lists Devshot readers by role (software engineers, DevOps, tech founders, CTOs and leads), not by programming language or by individual title. Lead Generation can target new subscribers by role, job level, industry and company size, so ask us about it.
Devshot or Techpresso: which fits a developer tool?
Devshot fits a developer story, such as a library, an API, a DevOps tool or a coding workflow. Techpresso fits a product that tech leaders and managers also need to understand, since it covers tech and AI more broadly. Pick by the task the reader does, then confirm the format with our team.
Should a developer ad link to docs or to a demo?
Link to a step the reader can try in a few minutes, such as a quickstart or a sandbox. Name the prerequisite first, such as a supported runtime, so the reader knows what they need before they click. A bare repository link rarely explains why the ad matters.
Does a click show that developers adopted my product?
No. A click shows a reader followed a link, not that they installed the product or integrated it. Define the product action you want, such as a first successful API call, and track it in your own system. The final report covers opens, clicks and CTR, not product use.
Do Devshot and Techpresso readers overlap?
Do not add the two subscriber counts together to count unique developers, because one reader can be on both lists. Ask us about the mix for your target and we reply within 24 hours.
