01 / The problem
The information you need exists, but it is scattered, stale, or locked behind an inquiry form. We do the asking and the checking, every month, so you don't have to.
The biggest AI newsletters don't publish rates — they run on inquiry-only. You ask, you wait, you ask again.
Nobody tells you what's open next week until you've already emailed them.
Sponsor pages, forms, and marketplace listings are scattered across a dozen places.
Roundups quote last year's subscriber counts and list prices that were never closing prices.
02 / What's in Issue 1
Every number carries its source and check date. Where sources disagree, we show all of them side by side — we don't average them away.
Issue 1 is free. From Issue 2, the continuously verified database is $49/month, with sponsorship slots in this newsletter available separately.
03 / The comparison sheet
Four of the twenty rows. Benchmark CPM ranges are cross-publication references, never a specific publication's price.

| Superhuman AI | 1.5M+ claimed vs 700K–720K ad-side | Inquiry | $100–150 benchmark | Conflict flagged |
| TLDR AI | 1.1M–1.25M est. | Inquiry | $100–150 benchmark | Tiers verified |
| AI Weekly | 52,000+ (own sponsor page) | $1,400 exclusive | ≈ $27 computed | Fully verified |

05 / FAQ
Prices and availability are re-checked monthly. Every record carries its check date; expired records are downgraded to "pending re-verification" and are never shown as verified.
Four steps: (1) the publication's own sponsor/advertise page; (2) media kit requested via its public form or email; (3) cross-check against third-party listings (BuySellAds / Paved / Passionfroot); (4) record value + source + check date + status. Where sources conflict, we show all figures side by side.
From Issue 2: a $49/month subscription to the continuously verified database (fresh prices, availability, and performance data), plus sponsorship slots in this newsletter itself. Booking commission is an optional add-on for repeat buyers who want bundled settlement — it is not the core product.
It stops being labeled "verified." You will always see the check date next to every number, so you can judge freshness yourself.
No. We verify prices, availability, and audiences — not outcomes. Open rates, click rates, and conversions are only shown when they come from the publication's own page or media kit, with source attached.
