Straight answers about earning, privacy, and how Platfory works.
Platfory turns the wait-state in AI coding tools - the spinner while your assistant thinks - into one tasteful sponsored line, and shares the ad revenue with you. Advertisers bid for that moment; you earn a share for the attention you already spend waiting.
Install the extension and sign in. While your AI tool is working, a sponsored line appears in its status line. Every impression that's genuinely on screen and every click credits your balance, validated on our servers. Watch it on your dashboard.
Honestly: it's modest, especially early on. Earnings depend on how often you trigger AI wait-states and on advertiser demand. We show your real balance in real time and never inflate projections. Think of it as covering coffee, not rent.
Through Stripe once your balance reaches the $5 minimum. Connect a bank account from your dashboard (a one-minute, secure Stripe flow) and cash out.
No. It collects impression and click events only - never your source code, prompts, AI responses, keystrokes, or file contents. That's a hard design commitment, not a setting.
Platfory integrates through your AI tool's official status-line hook - no file patching. Updates are cryptographically signed and verified, changes are shown to you and require consent per tool, and everything reverts on uninstall. See our Privacy Policy.
The extension installs in VS Code, Cursor, VSCodium, and Windsurf, and renders the sponsored line through Claude Code's status line. Support for more AI tools is planned via opt-in integrations.
Run "Platfory: Pause" to stop ads, "Platfory: Restore" to revert every change (verified), or just uninstall the extension - which restores automatically.
Share your referral link from the dashboard. When someone you invite earns their first $1, you receive $1 and they receive $0.50. Rewards unlock only on genuine earnings, so the program can't be farmed.
You reach developers in-editor at a decision moment. Write one sponsored line, set a budget and a bid, and your campaign enters an open second-price auction. You pay only for verified impressions and clicks, and manage everything from the console.
No. We don't sell personal data and we don't use tracking or advertising cookies. Advertisers see aggregate campaign metrics only, never your identity.
