What EthicalAds is great at
EthicalAds is privacy-first by design: it shows ads based on the content of the page rather than tracking users, and it reaches developers across documentation sites, open-source projects, and technical publishers. For brands that care about reaching developers ethically, and supporting open source while doing it, it is a great network and a model the whole industry can learn from.
How daily.dev is different
daily.dev is built on the same respect-the-developer principle (native, non-intrusive, no creepy tracking) but reaches developers in a different moment and with a different signal:
- Behavioral, not only contextual: daily.dev can match on the stack, seniority, and topics a developer actively follows, not just the page they happen to be reading.
- A daily-use destination: rather than ads scattered across docs people land on occasionally, daily.dev is a feed developers open as a habit.
- Engagement formats beyond the standard unit, Branded Tags, Keyword Spotlights, Tag Page Takeovers, plus native in-feed ads.
Better together
EthicalAds and daily.dev pair naturally for privacy-minded developer marketers: EthicalAds for contextual reach in technical-reading moments, daily.dev for behavior-targeted, always-on presence inside the feed.
