Turn quiet support into public credit.
Get a sponsorship wall that pays you directly, proves you’re the real thing, and shows the world who already backs you.
How SponsoredBy works
Money goes straight to you
One-time or monthly backings, paid directly into your own Stripe account — we never hold your money. Fees: 10% on Free, 5% on Pro, 3% on Max.
Verify once to unlock payouts
Connect a GitHub, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or Twitch handle — or your own domain. It takes a minute and earns you a checkmark.
Support becomes plaques
Backers appear on your public wall with a tier, a name (or anonymous, their choice), and how long they’ve backed you.
U.S. creators only for now: receiving payouts currently requires a United States–based Stripe account. More countries are coming — your wall works everywhere, only payouts are limited.
A sponsor on your wall is a verified, named person making a public statement — they support your mission and want to be linked to it. We verify everyone on purpose: it keeps SponsoredBy a network of real, accountable people, and that trust is what makes backers comfortable putting their name and their money behind you.
A public wall is social proof
When new visitors see real, named people already backing you, supporting you becomes the obvious choice.
Verified handles
Your checkmark tells backers it’s really you — a handle or domain you’ve proven you control.
Real backers, not bots
Backing is not anonymous on our end. Everyone signs in to a real account first, and backers who want to can verify their identity on top of that.
Credit that lasts
Supporters appear on your wall (or stay anonymous if they prefer) instead of vanishing into a DM.
Every creator weighing a public wall asks the same two questions. Here are our honest answers.
“I don’t want everyone to know who sponsors me.”
Hidden sponsorship is where sell-out suspicion grows. When your funding is a rumor, the audience fills the silence with the worst version of the story — and when it leaks, the disclosure happens on someone else’s terms. A wall inverts that: you’re not admitting who pays you, you’re declaring who you were willing to be paid by. Every plaque is a mutual endorsement — a name whose association you accept, in public, on your page. Selling out isn’t having sponsors; it’s the audience finding out later.
And the wall is yours to curate: backers who prefer privacy can stay anonymous, you decide which tiers exist on your wall at all, and every message is moderated before it appears. Nothing shows up that you didn’t make room for.
“I don’t want people to know how much I earn.”
They won’t — your wall doesn’t publish your earnings. Plaques show a tier and a tenure, never a dollar amount. There is no public revenue total. The funding-goal progress bar is opt-in, and it never has to be turned on. What the wall makes visible is that real, named people stand behind your work — the direction of support, not your accounting.
That visibility works for you, not against you. People give more to work they can see others valuing, and sponsors pay more for a plaque on a wall that clearly matters. If the goal is to influence and inspire — not just entertain and count views — showing whose values you align with, and who aligns with yours, is the strongest trust signal there is.
Built to grow with you
Grow recurring support
On paid plans, accept monthly backings, set a public funding goal with a progress bar, and pick your own custom username. Recognition keeps supporters coming back.
Put your badge everywhere
Drop an SVG badge into your GitHub README, website, or newsletter. It shows your current backer count and updates itself, so you paste it once and leave it.
Know what’s working
Webhooks are on every plan — get pinged in Discord, Slack, PingBell or your own backend the moment someone sponsors you. On Max, see where backers come from with referrer analytics and send updates to recurring supporters.
Whatever you make, the wall fits
Sponsorship walls aren’t one-size-fits-all — where the badge lives and who backs you looks different for a maintainer than for a musician.
Your side project has users who depend on it. Give them a public way to say thanks that pays.
Open source maintainers →The companies shipping your code have budgets. A public wall shows which ones pay their share.
Game developers →Your players wishlist, follow, and wait. A wall lets them help before launch day.
Writers →Readers who’d pay to keep the words coming — without a paywall between you and them.
Designers →Free icon sets, UI kits, and templates earn gratitude. A wall turns it into income.
Musicians →Streaming pays fractions of cents. Your actual fans will do better — publicly.
Video creators →Ad revenue swings with the algorithm. Named backers don’t.
Streamers →Subs reset and bits vanish. A plaque with their name on it stays up.
Podcasters →Too small for ad networks? Let your listeners fund the show.
Artists →For the followers who share every piece but never had a way to fund the next one.
Researchers →Independent research needs independent funding — transparent, public, no strings.
Educators →Free tutorials taught thousands. The ones who landed jobs remember.
