About Zerocost
Zerocost is the monetization layer for modern software. We help developers and startups earn revenue from their products without charging users or degrading experience.
Our Mission
We believe that the best software should be free to use. But building great software costs money. Zerocost bridges that gap by enabling developers to monetize through non-intrusive ads and anonymized data — so they can build freely and sustainably.
The Problem
Traditional monetization forces developers into a corner: charge users (and lose growth), plaster ugly ads (and lose trust), or burn VC money (and lose independence). None of these work for the emerging wave of high-growth apps, developer utilities, and open-source products.
Our Solution
Zerocost offers three revenue streams that work together:
- Contextual Ads: Non-intrusive, privacy-respecting ads matched to your app's content — not your users' data.
- Data Marketplace: Sell anonymized, aggregated usage patterns to companies training large language models. No PII ever leaves the device.
- Session Recordings: Opt-in annotated session recordings for UX research — another revenue stream from existing traffic.
