Sponsir sits inside Gmail and checks every brand pitch for you: is the sender really the brand, is that “campaign brief” actually malware, and what do the terms say? All in your browser. Your inbox never leaves your computer.
Free forever for protection. Pro is $7/month or $59/year, with a 7-day free trial.
Why this exists
A “brand” emails you. The rate is great. The brief is a password-protected ZIP, or the contract needs you to “sign in with Google” to view it. One click later an infostealer has your session cookies and your channel is streaming crypto scams. It hits creators with 5k subscribers and 5M alike — and Gmail’s spam filter waves most of it through because the domain is brand new.
Archives and installers dressed up as campaign briefs, game builds or press kits, sent from lookalike domains like nordvpn-partners.co.
“Sign in to view the agreement” takes your Google password and 2FA in one go. Channel gone in minutes.
Perpetual usage rights, all-media whitelisting and Net 90 hide in paragraph six. Creators sign away far more than a post.
How it works
Sponsir recognises sponsorship and collaboration emails automatically — no forwarding, no copy-paste, no new inbox.
Verified brand, Unverified, Suspicious or Dangerous, with the reason in one sentence. Risky attachments and links get an inline warning.
Rate, deliverables, deadlines, exclusivity, usage rights and payment terms pulled into a side panel — with what’s missing and what to push back on.
Features
Matches the sending domain against the brands named in the email, catches lookalike and punycode domains, free-mail “brand managers”, and mismatched Reply-To addresses.
Flags archives, executables, password-in-the-email, file-host links, URL shorteners and “sign in to view” pages — explained in plain English.
Rate, deliverables, timeline, exclusivity, usage rights, payment terms. Perpetual and all-media rights get a red flag with what to counter.
New → Negotiating → Contract → Delivered → Paid, set from the side panel. Every deal in one list, exportable to CSV.
Get nudged before a deliverable is due and when an invoice passes its Net 30. Never chase a payment from memory again.
Runs on the page you already have open. No Gmail API, no OAuth, no server sees your email. Uninstall and nothing is left behind.

FAQ
Only on your screen. It runs as a browser extension on the Gmail tab you already have open and analyses the message you are looking at, locally. There is no server, no Gmail API access and no OAuth “read all your mail” permission to grant. Nothing is uploaded.
Gmail catches known bad senders. Sponsorship scams use freshly registered lookalike domains and clean-looking archives, so most land in the inbox. Sponsir understands the context — that an email claiming to be NordVPN isn’t from a NordVPN domain, or that a “brief” shouldn’t be a password-protected ZIP.
Yes. Workspace uses the same Gmail interface, so Sponsir works on you@yourbrand.com exactly as on @gmail.com.
Not at launch. Paste any DM into the free Pitch Checker and you get the same analysis. In-app DM support is on the roadmap.
Yes — that’s why the badge says Unverified rather than Scam unless the signals are unambiguous (lookalike domain plus a malware-style attachment, for example). You can mark a sender as trusted; that choice stays on your device.
Chrome and Edge at launch (any Chromium browser that can install from the Chrome Web Store). Firefox is planned.
