One sponsor, clearly labelled
In front of the buyer, at the decision.
ITBudgetCalculator.com reaches the people setting IT budgets at the moment they validate the number, with a growing share arriving from AI assistants citing the page. One company can sponsor that: category-exclusive, clearly labelled, and never a vendor we evaluate, which is what makes the association worth having.
Who you reach
Full metrics on requestRead by the people who set IT budgets: CFOs, CIOs and finance teams validating a number before they commit to it. Mid-decision, hard to reach, exactly the buyer you want in front of.
About 9% of visits now arrive from AI assistants, ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude, citing this page, and it is climbing. When a buyer asks an AI what a reasonable IT budget looks like, your brand sits in the source it quotes.
Cribl is the founding sponsor of our sister site, siemcostcalculator.com, on this same disclosed, category-exclusive model.
Independent by design
Rankings, benchmarks and comparisons here are never for sale, and the sponsor is never a vendor we evaluate. That is not a limitation, it is the point. Your brand sits next to research finance teams actually trust, disclosed plainly, which is worth far more than a slot they scroll past. The editorial position and verification cadence are on the about and methodology pages; sponsorship changes none of it.
What the sponsor receives
A single strip reading "Independent research, supported by X". It is the only sponsor surface on the site, always labelled as sponsorship in plain language.
One sponsor at a time, exclusive for the sponsor's own category. No rotation, no second slot, no competing sponsor from the same space.
A monthly report covering how the sponsorship performed. Written for a sponsor deciding whether to renew, not a media kit.
Early sponsors lock a founding rate that holds as the site grows. Terms are discussed by email, not published here.
