The browser that pays you
Paisley is the browser that pays you to use it. It shows small, non-intrusive ads whenever it’s open — and you get a share of the ad revenue.
Advertisers
Bids are dollars per 1,000 impressions. The highest CPM serves first; everyone else queues by rank. Bid $0.50 or more to join — outbid the top to take #1. We stop serving when your budget is spent, and half of every dollar goes to the person watching.

How it works
01
Free for macOS and Windows. It installs like any browser, because it is one — fast, familiar, Chromium underneath.
02
Nothing to configure, nothing to click. A small, quiet ad strip sits along the bottom of the window while you do what you already do.
03
Your share of the ad revenue accrues automatically and pays out to your bank through Stripe. Browsing becomes income.
~50%
of the ad revenue your browsing generates goes to you.
Every browser you’ve ever used sold your attention and kept the proceeds. Paisley runs a single, clearly bounded ad strip along the bottom of the window — no pop-ups, no takeovers, no tracking you across the web for it.
The revenue those ads generate is split roughly down the middle. Your share accrues while you browse and pays out to your bank through Stripe once it crosses the payout threshold.
No points, no gift cards, no gimmicks. Real money, for browsing you were doing anyway.
FAQ
Paisley is a free web browser for macOS and Windows that pays you to use it. It's a fast, Chromium-based browser with one difference: a small, text-only ad ticker sits along the bottom of the window while you browse, and you keep about 50% of the ad revenue your browsing generates. No pop-ups, no takeovers, no image ads — ever.
Earnings accrue automatically while Paisley is open — every ad impression you see credits your balance with half of what the advertiser paid for it. Once your balance reaches the $25 cashout threshold, you can cash out from your dashboard and the money is paid to your bank account through Stripe. Real dollars, not points or gift cards.
It depends on what advertisers are bidding. Ad slots are sold in a live marketplace where advertisers bid a CPM (price per 1,000 impressions), and you're credited 50% of what they pay for every impression you see. Higher bids and more time browsing mean faster earnings. It won't replace a salary — it's your share of ad money that browsers have always kept for themselves.
Yes. Paisley is completely free to download and use on macOS and Windows. There are no subscriptions, fees, or in-app purchases. Paisley makes money by keeping the other half of the ad revenue — it never charges you.
Paisley collects what it needs to run the rev-share model: your account details (name and email), your ad-impression history and earnings, and basic engagement events on its own website. Payout and identity details go directly to Stripe, our payments processor. Ads are plain text and are not targeted by tracking you across the web. See the Privacy Policy for the full picture.
Self-serve, right from the Paisley homepage. Advertisers write a short text-only ad, bid a CPM, and prepay a budget via Stripe. The top bids rotate through the ticker in 30-minute windows — the highest CPM serves first. Budgets draw down per impression delivered, and half of every dollar goes to the person watching.
Two minutes to install. A lifetime of browsing that finally pays you back.
