Prefer to pay as a share of spend

Some teams like the fee to move with the budget. The spend-based option charges 12% of your monthly managed ad spend, with a minimum of $3,000 / month. It covers all channels and Scale-level service: the same team structure, creative volume, tracking and testing as the Scale plan.

We bill it monthly on the previous month's spend, read from your own ad platform billing. It is still a subscription, so you can cancel any month and the cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid month.

As a rule of thumb, a flat plan costs less when your spend sits near the top of a plan cap, and the share of spend option suits budgets that swing a lot from month to month.

PaidCampaigns compared with a freelancer, an in-house hire and a typical agency

Most teams weigh four ways to run paid ads. Here is how they differ on the things that decide whether campaigns get managed well month after month.

What you compareFreelancerIn-house hireTypical agencyPaidCampaigns
Price you see before you start quoted after a call salary, benefits and tools quoted after a proposal published, from $2,500 / mo
How you start calls and a scope document hiring process and ramp up discovery call, proposal deck, contract plan, card payment and onboarding in your client panel
Channels covered usually one or two depends on the person you hire often split across teams or partners up to all 7 paid channels on one plan
Ad creative extra freelancer or your own team extra designer or tools often a separate fee included every month
Tracking setup (GA4, GTM, Conversions APIs) varies by skill varies by skill often a separate project included and maintained
Landing pages and CRO tests rarely included extra developer time separate project fee included, tests on Scale and Enterprise

Contract varies employment often 6 to 12 months monthly, cancel in the panel

With PaidCampaigns, ad spend goes straight to the ad platforms. We never resell media and never add a markup on clicks.

What the fee does not cover

Ad spend is not part of any plan. You add your own card in each ad platform and pay Google, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Microsoft and YouTube directly. We never resell media and never add a markup on clicks or impressions, so the platform invoice you see is the full cost of your media.

Paid tools you choose to add yourself, such as a CRM, a product feed tool or a call tracking subscription, stay on your own bill. We set them up and use them, and we tell you in writing before recommending anything that costs money.

There is no setup fee and no separate charge for the account audit. Onboarding work, including the ppc audit and the tracking fixes it finds, is part of every plan.

Billing and cancellation

You pay by card when you start. Monthly plans renew each month, and annual plans are paid upfront for twelve months at the 15 percent lower rate. Enterprise can also be invoiced annually with a purchase order and net 30 terms.

You can cancel any month from the client panel. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid month, and you keep full access to your ad accounts, pixels, landing pages and creatives.

Payments are final. We refund only in three cases: a double charge, an unauthorized charge, or a total failure of the service. The full rules are on the refund policy page.

Moving to a bigger plan takes effect right away, with the price difference charged at that moment. Moving to a smaller plan takes effect from the next billing period.

PPC management pricing questions

Why do you publish prices when most agencies do not

Because a buyer should know the cost before spending time on a vendor. Hidden pricing exists to make room for a sales call, and we do not run sales calls. Everything about how we work is on the managed ppc page.

What happens if my ad spend goes over the plan cap

We let you know in the panel and keep the campaigns running. On Growth and Scale you can move up a plan or switch to the spend-based option. On Enterprise, spend above $400,000 / mo is billed at 2% of the spend over the cap.

Is there a minimum contract

No. Monthly plans run month to month. Annual prepay is a twelve month commitment in exchange for the 15 percent lower price.

Can I start with Growth and move up later

Yes. Many teams start with two channels and add more once tracking is clean. Upgrade in the panel and the new limits apply right away.

Do you charge for the audit or onboarding

No. The audit of your current accounts and the onboarding work are part of every plan.

Is there a trial or a cheaper starter plan

No. The work of a paid media team is real from day one. What you can try right now is the campaign plan builder on the homepage, which builds a personalized paid media plan for your business once.
