Reference / Sponsorship
One sponsor.
In front of the buyer, at the decision.
EgressCost.com reaches engineers at the moment they are pricing their cloud egress, a growing share of them arriving from AI assistants citing the page. One company can sponsor that: category-exclusive, clearly labelled, and never a vendor we evaluate, which is what makes the association worth having.

This strip is the entire sponsorship. It is labelled in plain language, links carry rel="sponsored", and it never appears on a page covering the sponsor's own products or its category competitors.
[01]Who you reach
full metrics on requestA scarce, clean association with an independent reference engineers use at the exact moment they are deciding.
High-intent, at the decision
Engineers land here while pricing their cloud egress and working out what to do about it. Mid-decision, hard to reach, exactly the buyer you want in front of.
Cited by AI assistants
About 6% of visits now arrive from AI assistants, Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT, citing this page, and it is climbing. When a buyer asks an AI what egress costs, your brand sits in the source it quotes.
The model is proven
Cribl is the founding sponsor of our sister site, siemcostcalculator.com, on this same disclosed, category-exclusive model.
Independent by design
Which is exactly what makes it worth having.
Rankings and comparisons here are never for sale, and the sponsor is never a vendor we evaluate. That is not a limitation, it is the point. Your brand sits next to research engineers actually trust, disclosed plainly, which is worth far more than a slot they scroll past.
[02]What the sponsor receives
one slot · one companyThe offer is deliberately small. A scarce, clean association with an independent reference that engineers already use, and nothing that would compromise it.
One labelled strip
A single strip reading “Independent research, supported by X”, on pages where no conflict exists. That is the whole placement.
Category exclusivity
One sponsor at a time, exclusive for the sponsor's own category. No rotation, no second slot, no bidding.
Monthly performance report
A written report each month covering how the site and the strip performed. Sent directly, not through a dashboard.
A founding rate
Early sponsors lock a founding rate that holds as the site grows. Terms are discussed by email, not published here.
Disclosure
Sponsorship on this site is disclosed the way pricing is published here: plainly. The strip says who the sponsor is in ordinary words, sponsor links carry rel="sponsored", and this page stays public so anyone can check what the arrangement does and does not include.
Enquire
If the model above reads fairly to you, write to Oliver directly. Not sure your category qualifies? Ask anyway; if this site is not the fit, another in the network usually is. Early sponsors lock a founding rate.
