HostAd

HostAd is Ukraine's first self-serve digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising platform that revolutionizes how businesses connect with offline audiences. Instead of dealing with agencies, contracts, and weeks of paperwork, advertisers can now pick venues on an interactive map — cafés, salons, barbershops, coworkings, and other high-traffic locations — and launch a campaign on their screens in just minutes. You pay by the second, with zero agency fees, zero contracts, and zero paper documents. The platform turns traditional offline impressions into trackable digital clicks using QR codes, giving you real-time analytics on campaign performance. For venue owners, HostAd offers a unique passive income opportunity: host a free screen in your establishment and earn money from airtime sold to advertisers. Whether you are a local business owner looking to attract nearby customers, a marketing agency managing multiple campaigns, or a venue operator wanting to monetize your space, HostAd provides an all-in-one digital ecosystem. The platform boasts over 0+ monthly reach, 0+ performance metrics, and a minimum campaign budget starting from just 0 UAH. With transparent pricing, real-time analytics, and a fully online workflow from selection to payment, HostAd makes outdoor advertising as easy as buying a coffee. It is designed for speed, simplicity, and measurable results, eliminating the traditional 8-step, weeks-long process that plagues conventional outdoor advertising.

Interactive Map-Based Venue Selection

HostAd’s core feature is a fully interactive map that displays all available advertising screens across Ukraine. Advertisers can browse venues by location, type (café, salon, coworking, etc.), audience demographics, and foot traffic. Each venue includes detailed characteristics and estimated pricing, and you can preview everything without even registering. This visual, location-driven approach lets you target specific neighborhoods or city centers with surgical precision, ensuring your ad reaches the right people at the right place.

Pay-Per-Second Pricing with No Hidden Costs

Forget flat rates or minimum commitments. HostAd lets you pay by the second for your ad airtime, giving you complete control over your budget. There are no agency fees, no contracts, and no hidden charges. The pricing is fully transparent — you see exactly what you pay before you launch. This model is perfect for businesses of all sizes, from small local shops running a 30-second spot to large brands scaling campaigns across dozens of venues simultaneously.

Real-Time Analytics and QR Code Tracking

Every campaign comes with a powerful analytics dashboard that tracks impressions, clicks, and engagement in real time. HostAd integrates QR codes directly into your ads, turning passive viewers into measurable actions. You can see how many people scanned your code, where they came from, and what they did next. This bridges the gap between offline advertising and online conversion, giving you data-driven insights to optimize your campaigns on the fly.

Fully Digital Workflow and Self-Service Dashboard

From selection to payment to reporting, everything happens online in a single dashboard. You can manage campaigns of any scale, automate routine tasks, and access all contracts, reports, and documents digitally. The dashboard also includes status updates, photo reports, and order history. Plus, it is fully mobile-responsive, so you can control your ads from your smartphone, tablet, or computer. No phone calls, no office visits, no waiting for manager approval.

Local Businesses Attracting Walk-In Customers

A small café in Kyiv wants to promote its new lunch menu to nearby office workers. Using HostAd, the owner picks a few barbershops and coworkings within a 500-meter radius, launches a 15-second video ad, and pays only for the airtime used. QR codes on the screen lead directly to a discount coupon. Within hours, the café sees a measurable increase in foot traffic and coupon redemptions, all tracked in real time.

Marketing Agencies Managing Multi-Location Campaigns

A marketing agency handling a national brand runs a campaign across 50 different venues in 10 cities. Instead of negotiating separate contracts with each venue, the agency uses HostAd’s dashboard to select all locations on the map, set a unified budget, and launch in minutes. The platform’s advanced analytics provide per-venue performance data, allowing the agency to reallocate budget to high-performing screens instantly.

Venue Owners Monetizing Their Space Without Investment

A busy hair salon with a waiting area installs a free HostAd screen. The salon owner earns passive income every time an advertiser buys airtime on that screen. There is no upfront cost, no maintenance hassle, and no need to sell ad space themselves. The screen also displays useful information for clients, enhancing the customer experience while generating a new revenue stream.

Event Promoters Targeting Specific Neighborhoods

A concert promoter wants to advertise an upcoming show in Lviv. They use HostAd to select screens in coworkings, cafés, and bars near the venue, targeting young professionals aged 20-35. The campaign runs for one week, with QR codes linking to ticket purchase pages. The promoter tracks scans and conversions in real time, adjusting the ad creative mid-campaign based on performance data.

Can I browse available screens without registering?

Yes. HostAd offers a guest mode that lets you explore all available screens on the map, view their characteristics, and see estimated pricing. However, to book a screen, access advanced analytics, or launch a campaign, you will need to create a free account. Registration is quick and straightforward.

What payment methods are accepted on the platform?

HostAd supports multiple online payment options, including major credit and debit cards, as well as popular Ukrainian digital payment systems. All transactions are processed securely within the platform. The minimum campaign budget is just 0 UAH, making it accessible for businesses of any size.

How quickly will my campaign go live after payment?

Once you select your screens, upload your creative, and complete payment, your campaign goes live immediately. There is no approval queue or manual review process. You can see your ad running on the selected screens within minutes. If you need to make changes, you can edit or cancel your order directly from the dashboard.

How do I track the effectiveness of my campaign?

HostAd provides a real-time analytics dashboard with over 0+ performance metrics. You can track impressions, QR code scans, engagement rates, and audience demographics. Each scan is attributed to a specific screen and time slot, giving you granular data. Photo reports and status updates are also available in your account dashboard at any time.

Pricing is transparent and flexible. Advertisers pay by the second for airtime, with no minimum commitment beyond the platform’s low starting budget of 0 UAH. There are no hidden fees, agency markups, or long-term contracts. Each screen displays its estimated cost per second or per campaign, so you know exactly what you will pay before you launch. Venue owners earn a share of the airtime revenue for hosting a screen, with no upfront investment required. For exact rates and current promotions, visit the HostAd map or contact support.
