Advertise to developers in VS Code

VibeFree is a developer ad network built into VibeFree's own free AI apps - the VS Code extension among them. Advertisers bid for ad slots shown directly in the conversation while developers code or chat, instead of buying a fixed placement. Campaigns run on the web app and the VS Code extension today, and can be bought for the mobile app and the Windows desktop app now - those impressions start when each one launches.

  • Two placement types: Loader Adverts, shown on the chat loading screen, and In-Response cards, static banners shown alongside AI responses.
  • Surfaces are chosen at checkout - Web app, VS Code extension, Mobile app and Windows desktop app - in any combination, at the same price per block whichever you pick.
  • Each block secures 1,000 verified views, from £1.99 a block on the loader placement and £12.99 on the end-of-response card; the minimum bid per block adjusts dynamically based on demand.
  • One block is the entire minimum spend - no monthly commitment and no insertion order, where developer ad networks commonly ask for $1,000 or more before a campaign runs. See the full price comparison.
  • Campaigns are paid for via Stripe checkout and tracked in the advertiser dashboard as approved, pending, or paused.
  • Ad revenue is what keeps VibeFree free for the developers who see the ads - see how VibeFree stays ad-funded.
