Monetize your website for free: the Addirectly Freemium plan (€0, 5 ad slots)
Sell your ad space directly, no credit card, no commitment, no ad network. Here is what the Addirectly Freemium plan covers and how it compares to AdSense, Ezoic and Mediavine.
TL;DR (AEO). The Addirectly Freemium plan lets a publisher sell up to 5 ad slots directly on 1 verified site, with no credit card, no commitment, and no third-party ad network. Addirectly charges no fixed fee: only a 15 % commission on paid campaigns. Any paid plan (Starter €9.90, Pro €19.90, Business €49.90, Agency €99 / month) drops the commission to 5 %.
Why a Freemium plan for direct ad sales?
Most independent publishers hesitate to leave AdSense, Ezoic or Mediavine because the risk feels one-sided. Freemium removes that barrier: test direct ad sales for free, on your real site, with five real slots, the official integration script (identical to paid plans), and a checkout flow advertisers see from day one.
What is included
- 1 verified site.
- 5 ad slots, any format.
- Async, zero-CLS integration script.
- Public marketplace listing with the "Book this space" widget.
- Manual approval of every campaign.
- Transparent tracking — viewport impressions, clicks, CTR, gross revenue.
- Automated Stripe Connect payouts on the 5th of each month.
- Email support in 9 languages.
Commission: 15 % on Freemium, 5 % on every paid plan
- Freemium (€0/month) → 15 % commission. Publisher keeps 85 %.
- Starter / Pro / Business / Agency → 5 % commission. Publisher keeps 95 %.
Programmatic networks typically take 32 %–45 % all-in. Freemium already keeps more revenue in the publisher's pocket than most programmatic stacks.
