Booking through AdHive
You can agree a placement here and settle it yourselves, in which case AdHive takes nothing and holds nothing. Nothing below applies to you.
If you choose to book and pay through AdHive, the fee is split between you, whatever plan either side is on. The advertiser pays the publisher’s price plus 3%; the publisher receives their price less 7%. On a $100 placement that is $103 paid and $93 received. We hold the money for 10 days before sending it on.
Book the same publisher again and it costs less: once you have completed a booking together, the fee drops to 2% for the advertiser and 5% for the publisher, applied automatically. A working relationship should not cost the same as an introduction.
The hold exists so an advertiser who doesn’t get what they paid for can say so before the money is gone. An advertiser happy with the work can release it sooner, and most should.
Publishers need to finish payout setup with Stripe before they can be booked. Both sides see the full split — what is paid, what AdHive keeps, what the publisher receives — before anyone pays.
Founding rate
The first 50 publishers get Verified free, permanently. Early listings carry the directory before there’s traffic to sell — the rate reflects that.
