Every sponsorship includes exclusive newsletter placement plus visibility across avanderlee.com.
Sponsor packages and pricing
Sponsored issues can be scheduled throughout the year, subject to availability. They do not need to run consecutively.
Sponsoring SwiftLee is ideal for companies that want to reach a focused audience of Swift and iOS developers. Whether you’re promoting a developer tool, SaaS product, API, job opportunity, or educational resource, SwiftLee gives your brand visibility across the newsletter and avanderlee.com.

SwiftLee – A trusted voice in the community
Since 2017, I’ve published a new Swift or iOS development article every single week. Over the years, SwiftLee has grown into a trusted resource for senior iOS engineers, indie developers, and engineering teams worldwide.
AI search has changed how developers discover content — but it has also made trusted voices and curated newsletters more valuable than ever. Developers now actively seek out high-signal sources they can depend on. That’s exactly what SwiftLee provides.
A Highly Engaged Developer Audience
Every month, tens of thousands of developers read SwiftLee or receive SwiftLee Weekly — a newsletter with exceptional engagement:
- 21,858 subscribers on Kit
- 8,861 subscribers on LinkedIn
- 59% open rate, far above industry averages
Sponsors are highlighted prominently inside both newsletters, and in the LinkedIn version I also tag your company’s LinkedIn page for additional reach and visibility.
Strong Reach in a Highly Specialized Niche
SwiftLee’s social presence is one of the largest in the Swift and iOS developer community:
- 71,604 followers on Twitter
- 24,617 followers on LinkedIn
This is a focused, hard-to-reach niche — and SwiftLee is one of the biggest and most recognizable accounts within it. For sponsors, this means:
- Your brand appears in front of the right audience: Swift and iOS developers
- Visibility in a niche where attention is concentrated, not diluted
- Extra promotion for monthly sponsors, who receive a shoutout on both social channels
Why Sponsor SwiftLee?
AI search has changed how developers consume content — but it has also made trusted voices and curated newsletters more valuable than ever. Developers now rely on sources they recognize, not generic AI summaries.
SwiftLee sits at the center of the Swift and iOS community: a place where senior engineers, indie developers, and technical leaders return each week for clarity, guidance, and inspiration.
For sponsors, this means access to a rare combination:
- A hard-to-reach, highly technical niche
- Direct inbox placement with exceptional open rates
- Exclusivity — only one sponsor per week
SwiftLee delivers not just reach, but attention — and attention is what drives real results.
