VS Code extensions are downloaded millions of times but almost never make money. AdKar turns your extension's surface area into revenue with sponsored developer-relevant cards — and you keep 75%.
Add the AdKar publisher SDK or extension and run one login command. Your API key is configured automatically.
Choose sidebar panels, status bar, or inline hints. Ads are contextual to the developer's language and framework — never disruptive.
You receive 75% of revenue from every ad served. Track earnings live and withdraw via UPI or bank transfer once you hit ₹500.
The VS Code Marketplace has no built-in payments, no subscriptions, and no ad system. Most extension authors rely on GitHub Sponsors or donations, which convert at a fraction of a percent. Paid licensing adds friction that kills installs.
AdKar takes a different route: instead of charging your users, it shows them relevant developer tools — databases, APIs, hosting, dev services — as sponsored cards in surfaces you control. Your users get useful recommendations; you get paid.
Earnings scale with active users and impressions. At a ₹15 CPM and a 75% share, 100,000 monthly impressions returns roughly ₹1,125 to you each month — with zero changes to your extension's core features and no cost to your users.
Because ads are contextual and capped for frequency, they stay non-intrusive, which keeps your ratings healthy while still generating revenue.
No. You add the AdKar SDK or companion extension and choose which surfaces show sponsored cards. Your existing features are untouched.
Ads are contextual, frequency-capped, and shown only in surfaces you enable. They're designed to feel like helpful tool recommendations, not banners.
You earn 75% of ad revenue. Payouts are made via UPI or bank transfer once your balance reaches the ₹500 minimum.
