See in Advance How Far Your Budget Can Take You
When you set up your ad, you can see estimates of reach and results based on how much you want to spend. Then adjust as you see fit. Your ads will be shown to people who are most likely to respond to them.
Want website shoppers? Snapchat’s ad system will look for people in your audience who are most likely to click to visit your website.
Get Started With Our Budget Recommendation
You can spend as little as $5 a day, but we recommend at least $20-50 per day to help your ad complete the Exploration Phase, which our system uses to learn who in your audience is most likely to take action on your ad. The faster your ad completes the Exploration Phase, the sooner we can optimize its performance.
To help you get started, we’ll give you $75 in free ad credit when you spend $50.

It’s free to create a Public Profile. Beyond that, Snapchat advertising cost depends on how much you’re willing to invest to get the results you want.
The minimum spend per day is $5, although we recommend $20-50 per day. This amount can help your ad quickly complete the Exploration Phase — the period when your campaign first launches. During that time (typically 4 days or more, depending on your campaign objective), our system focuses on determining the kind of people in your target audience who are most likely to respond to your ad. Over time, we prioritize the ad(s) that perform the best against your specific objective.
Make sure the objective and the goal-based bid type you choose align with the results you want to achieve. Learn more about choosing an objective and goal-based bidding.
Your target audience should align with your customer profile or persona.
