Sponsor a category
One sponsor per slot, charged monthly, sitting in a labelled block above that slot’s ranking. $39 to $499 a month depending on how many apps a merchant would otherwise have to read past.
166 of 166 slots are open right now.
Three depths
Same product, sold at the depth you want to be found at. A sub-category is cheaper because fewer merchants pass it; the whole board costs most because everyone does.
| Depth | Slots | Open | Price a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| The whole boardOne slot, above every category. | 1 | 1 | $499 |
| A categoryOne sponsor per category. | 18 | 18 | $99 - $299 |
| A sub-categoryOne sponsor per sub-category, where at least 12 apps rank. | 147 | 147 | $39 - $99 |
What it is, exactly
- A slot above the ranking on your category’s page, carrying the word Sponsor and the monthly amount in dollars. Nothing about it is implied.
- It does not move the ranking. The list underneath is review volume weighted by rating and no amount of money touches it – how ranking works.
- Exclusive. While you hold the category nobody else can buy that slot, and the price does not go to auction.
- Clicks are counted and printed, the same as every paid row on the board, so you can price the next month against the last one. Live numbers are on stats.
- Every outbound link here is
nofollow sponsored. It is advertising, not a backlink, and we say so on the rules page.

Our own apps cannot buy this
EcomApps is run by TouchPoints Inc., which also makes apps for Shopify merchants. Those apps are labelled From the operator and the sponsorship checkout refuses them, the same way the bid checkout does. So a competitor can sponsor the category one of our own apps sits in, and we cannot sponsor it back. That is the trade we take for running this in public.
Stopping
You cancel it yourself, from the management page you land on after paying – keep that link. The slot stands until the month you have already paid for runs out, and then the category is open again.
