Questions we get a lot.
How much does newsletter advertising cost with Toolradar and Dupple?
Pricing depends on the newsletter, format, and timing. Spotlight Ads are the entry point, Primary Ads are mid-range, and Dedicated Sends are premium. Lead Generation runs on CPC or CPL — you only pay for outcomes. Contact us for a custom quote with dates and current availability.
Which newsletter should I advertise in?
Match the audience to your ICP. Techpresso (550K+) is the broadest tech audience and works for most B2B SaaS and AI products. MarketingShot is for martech and growth tools. Devshot is for developer tools. Cyberpresso is for security. Finpresso is for fintech and finance tools. We'll recommend a mix if you're unsure.
Do you only allow 2 sponsors per issue?
Yes — max 2 ads per issue. This keeps open rates high and per-ad attention meaningful. It also means inventory is genuinely limited — most slots book 2–6 weeks out.
Can I get a dofollow backlink from Toolradar?
Yes. We offer premium placements with dofollow links from Toolradar's directory pages and editorial. This is different from a simple tool listing — premium placements are for brands that want SEO-grade authority in addition to the referral traffic.
What does a typical campaign look like?
A typical first campaign is either (a) a Primary Ad in Techpresso paired with a Spotlight retarget the following week, or (b) a Native Advertorial when the product needs explanation. For SEO, clients often combine a Toolradar listing with 3–5 backlink placements across Dupple newsletters.
How quickly can we launch?
Fastest path: book a Spotlight Ad or Primary Ad. Turnaround is usually 1–2 weeks from first contact to live ad — we handle copy, design, and landing page review. Dedicated Sends and Native Advertorials take 2–4 weeks due to editorial process.
