## Summary

BookBub Featured Deals put a free or deeply discounted ebook (at least 50% off its recent price) in BookBub's daily genre emails to readers in the US, UK, Canada and Australia; submission is free, editors select only 10-20% of eligible deals, and you pay a flat fee only if selected. BookBub Ads is a separate self-serve CPM or CPC auction that places ads in BookBub and Chirp emails and on bookbub.com, with no editorial review. It promotes ebooks across retailers, not just Amazon, and BookBub does not guarantee clicks or sales for either product.
