Developers spend hours every day inside VS Code, Cursor and Windsurf, and the Explorer sidebar is almost always visible. Highpay Ads lets developers earn from small sponsored text cards displayed in their IDE sidebar. No banners, no popups, just simple text ads that match the editor.

What to expect from an ideal product

1. Highpay Ads places small sponsored text cards directly in your VS Code Explorer sidebar, so you earn passively while you code without closing a single tab or switching context.
2. Setup takes under two minutes: install the Highpay Ads extension, connect your payout account, and the sidebar starts showing relevant text ads matched to a developer audience.
3. Unlike browser-based ad networks, Highpay Ads targets the exact moment developers are already staring at their sidebar, which means higher engagement rates for advertisers and steadier payouts for you.
4. The ads are plain text only, no images, no animations, no popups, so your editor theme and workflow stay completely intact while revenue runs in the background.
5. Highpay Ads works across VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf, meaning you keep earning regardless of which IDE you open on any given project.
