How we make money
The short version — without marketing language.
We make money two ways today: supporters, and ads on the free tier. Supporters pay $1/month for the follow-through tools that help people act on opportunities — tailored resumes and cover letters — while interview prep, bridge plans, and career navigation support stay free for everyone.
Free-tier ads are clearly labeled, sit beside the experience (in the job list and at the bottom of a job's page), never on the map, and never change which jobs you see or their order. We block categories that prey on job-seekers — payday lending, multi-level marketing, degree mills, pay-to-apply services. You can decline ads; the product works the same without them.
Supporter pricing is an adoption ladder, in the open: The first 100 supporters get it for $1/month — forever. After that, the price rises $1 for every 100 supporters until it settles at $10/month. Whatever price you join at is locked in for as long as you stay subscribed.
We do not sell rankings.
Employers do not pay for placement or fit.
Your data does not get sold.
What this means in practice
- When a job ranks high on the map for you, that's because of your values, your skills, and the employer's posted details — not because the employer paid for visibility.
- The product is a free service — discovery, fit explanations, values tradeoffs, bridge logic, and interview prep cost nothing. Ads on the free tier and supporters ($1/month, cancel anytime) fund it. Supporters get the follow-through tools — custom resumes per job and per career, cover letters, and email alerts on new matches — and see no ads.
- If future revenue streams ever come online — institutional partnerships, verified-next-step marketplaces — they must pass the same rules: no paid placement, no paid ranking, no selling your data.
