Who browses Localhosted

Questions advertisers ask
Who reads Localhosted?
Developers, tinkerers and small teams looking for AI software they can run themselves: local LLM tools, self-hosted AI apps and open-source alternatives to cloud AI services.
Are ads marked as ads?
Yes. Each placement has a visible Ad label, so readers can always tell it apart from directory listings.
Does advertising change how tools are listed?
No. Ads live in their own slots and don't move anything in the directory. To feature your own tool inside the listings, submit it and pick a Premium listing.
What can I promote?
Anything useful to people who run their own AI: AI tools, developer tools, hosting, hardware and open-source projects.
How do I get started?
Choose your placements and dates, add your advertisement, and pay through Stripe. We review every paid booking before it appears on the site.
