Pricing that scales with you, not against you
The first $1,000 of your monthly ad spend is managed free. After that you pay a small percentage that gets smaller as you grow.
A shrinking slice of spend — nothing on the first $1,000
The fee works like tax brackets: each band of monthly ad spend is charged at its own rate, so your effective rate keeps falling as you scale.
| Monthly ad spend | Service fee |
|---|---|
| First $1,000 | Free |
| $1,000 – $10,000 | 5% |
| $10,000 – $50,000 | 3% |
| Above $50,000 | 2% |

A low fee, not a stripped-down service
The same fee covers the whole program. Automation makes it affordable — it doesn't make it bare-bones.
What you'd pay us vs a traditional agency
Most agencies charge around 12% of spend, often with a monthly minimum on top. Here's the same spend, side by side.
| Monthly spend | Traditional agency | Vivid Rise |
|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | $600/mo | $200/mo |
| $20,000 | $2,400/mo | $750/mo |
| $50,000 | $6,000/mo | $1,650/mo |
| $100,000 | $12,000/mo | $2,650/mo |
Agency figures are illustrative, based on a typical 12% of spend.
Pricing questions
How is the fee calculated?
It's a marginal percentage of your monthly ad spend, like tax brackets. The first $1,000 of spend each month is managed free. Spend from $1,000 to $10,000 is charged at 5%, from $10,000 to $50,000 at 3%, and anything above $50,000 at 2%. So a higher spend always means a lower effective rate.
Is there a minimum spend, a setup fee or a contract?
No. There's no minimum, no setup fee and no lock-in — you can stop any time. If your spend is very small, we'll tell you honestly on the call whether paid media is worth it yet.
Who pays for the ad spend itself?
You do, directly to Google, Meta, TikTok and Microsoft, on your own accounts. Our fee is only the service fee for running the program — the ad budget never passes through us.
When am I billed?
Monthly, based on the previous month's actual ad spend across your accounts. You always know the rate up front, and the dashboard shows the running total.
Do I still get a real person, or is it all automated?
Both. The automation runs the day-to-day; a strategist sets the direction, reviews performance every week and is who you talk to. The platform handles volume and speed — people handle judgment.
