Turn AI wait time
into income.
Every time you wait for Claude, Copilot, or Cursor to think — WaitPay shows a sponsored message and splits the revenue 50 / 50 with you. Install once, keep coding as normal, get paid monthly via UPI.

Create an account first, then paste it into Claude and start earning.
Works best inside the VS Code & IDE extensions of Claude Code & Codex — the terminal CLI works too.

How it works
Three steps. Nothing changes about how you code.
Install the extension
One command or one VS Code marketplace click. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI coding tools. Takes 30 seconds.
Keep coding as normal
Nothing to configure or babysit. WaitPay only activates during wait states — when the AI is thinking and your editor is idle. The moment it responds, the ad disappears.
Get paid via UPI
Monthly payouts at 50% of the revenue from impressions shown to you — directly to your UPI ID. No bank forms, no international delays.
Revenue model
50 / 50 split. Always.
Every rupee a sponsor pays — half goes to you, half runs WaitPay. No hidden deductions.
How it adds up
Illustrative estimate for an active AI-coding developer. Actual earnings depend on your usage, ad inventory, and final rates. Not a guarantee.

For sponsors
Reach Indian developers — not a homepage banner.
Your message appears during the one moment a developer is genuinely idle and looking at the screen: while the AI thinks. A focused 4–8 second window with full attention — not a scroll-past sidebar ad.
Fair rotation — not an auction
We deliberately avoid a bidding model. Sponsors get equitable, rotated placement. No one can outbid their way into every slot. This is a core design choice, not a limitation.
Verified developer audience
Every developer signed up is actively using AI coding tools — Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor. A self-selected, high-intent technical audience in India.
Always disclosed
Every sponsored message is clearly marked "Sponsored." No dark patterns, no deception. This protects both the developer experience and your brand.

Why India-only
A deliberate choice, not a limitation.
“India-first” isn’t a marketing wedge — it’s a structural decision that shapes everything from payouts to pricing to product design.
UPI works here. Wire transfers don't.
Payout friction kills developer tools that try to pay people. UPI is instant, free, and works on every Indian phone. We built the payout stack around UPI from the start — not as an afterthought.
India has the world's fastest-growing developer community.
India has millions of active software developers rapidly adopting AI coding tools. That's a large, engaged, underserved audience that global ad networks still treat as an afterthought.
India-calibrated rates.
Global ad programs set rates for US or EU markets. Our rate structure is designed around what makes sense for the Indian market — fair for developers, viable for Indian-focused sponsors.
Built by someone from the community.
This isn't a US startup "expanding to India." WaitPay India is built for and within the Indian developer community — with the expectation that early users will tell us what's wrong.
