Why Publish on CostSignals?
2,500+ Public Calculators
Explore public planning tools across home services, personal finance, legal, and B2B topics before creating your own draft.
Conditional Revenue Share
Eligible active Pro or Business creators can accrue 20% of a charged lead price only after an attributed lead is accepted and the buyer charge succeeds.
Discovery Foundations
Hosted pages can provide canonical metadata and applicable structured data. Indexing, rankings, rich results, and search visibility are not guaranteed.
Project Request Workflow
Published calculators can let users submit project requests. Routing and acceptance depend on approved buyer availability, coverage, price, funding, and capacity.
Use Cases
Contractors & Home Service Pros
Create a planning calculator for a service you understand, submit it for review, and share its public URL if it is approved.
Trade Associations
Organize useful planning tools around member specialties while keeping assumptions and methodology specific to each calculator.
Home Service Aggregators
Build a reviewed collection of hosted calculators without operating separate calculator infrastructure.
Content Partners
Add interactive planning tools to topic coverage and link readers to a hosted calculator when publication is approved.
Built for Quality and Performance
CostSignals provides publishing and review infrastructure. Calculator assumptions and evidence remain tool-specific.
Discoverability Foundations
Hosted pages use canonical metadata and can expose applicable structured data. Search engines decide indexing, ranking, and result presentation.
Tool-Specific Methodology
Assumptions, source coverage, localization, and applicable dates vary by calculator and should be reviewed on its own page.
Responsive Hosted Pages
Pages are designed for responsive use. Performance varies by page, device, network, and measurement run.
Fully Hosted Platform
CostSignals hosts, serves, and maintains every calculator page. No infrastructure to manage — publish your calculator and let the platform handle the rest.
How Calculator Moderation Works
Creator submissions enter a multi-step review process before an admin publication decision.
Submission Checks
The submission workflow checks required calculator structure and content before a draft can enter review.
Admin Decision
An admin reviews the submitted calculator and can approve it, request revisions, or reject it.
Revision Path
When revisions are requested, the creator can edit the draft and submit it for another decision.
Reapproval Required
A flagged calculator can be revised and resubmitted, but restoration requires a new approval and has no guaranteed turnaround.

Submit for Review
Send the draft to admin review. Review timing varies with queue and complexity; approval and publication are not guaranteed.
Publish if Approved
An approved calculator receives a hosted public page. Search visibility, traffic, project requests, and commercial outcomes are not guaranteed.
Conditional revenue and payout eligibility
Eligible creators with an active Pro or Business plan accrue 20% of the charged lead price when a lead attributed to their calculator is accepted and the buyer charge succeeds. Earnings may be adjusted for refunds or chargebacks.
An active creator with a configured Stripe Connect account, at least $25 in available earnings, no payout already in progress, and remaining daily capacity may request a payout. A request starts as pending and may complete, fail, or be cancelled; payout timing is not guaranteed.
Traffic, leads, buyer availability, acceptance, revenue, and payout availability are not guaranteed.
