Which Adsterra pricing model fits
your vertical best?

CPA

Cost-per-action is the safest and the most expensive pricing model. Choose it when you know your customers well and when the conversion flow is simple (e.g., app installs). If you target a new audience or have a complex conversion flow (e.g., CC submits), start with the CPM model instead.
💡 Use CPA pricing for CPL (cost-per-lead), CPI (cost-per-install), and PIN Submit conversion flows.

Verticals:
  • VPN/Utility - Install, trial
  • Addons - Install
  • Dating - Signups
  • Carrier Billing - 1-2 click, click2sms
  • Sweeps - Signups
  • E-commerce - Installs
Ad formats:
  • Popunder
  • Social Bar
  • In-Page Push
  • Interstitial

CPC

Choose the cost-per-click payment when you set clicks as the primary KPI or when you're confident the offer will convert easily after users reach the landing page. Ensure your lander is ready to convert visitors. Otherwise, the highest CTRs won't lead to numerous conversions.

Verticals:
  • E-commerce - all flows
  • Sports - all flows
  • iGaming - all flows
  • Carrier Billing - 1-2 click
Ad formats:
  • Social Bar
  • In-Page Push

CPM

The cost-per-thousand pricing is great for discovering new GEOs and testing traffic. All complex conversion flows, such as CC submits & deposits, are better to be tested with the CPM model. This approach is budget-friendly and enables you to distribute your money effectively.

Verticals:
  • E-commerce - all flows
  • Sports - all flows
  • iGaming - all flows
  • Carrier Billing - 1-2 click
Ad formats:
  • Popunder
  • Social Bar
  • In-Page Push

How to get the most out of traffic

1. Gain traffic at the best price

1. Gain traffic at the best price

When your bid wins, the second-price auction algorithm behind SmartCPM decreases the payout so that you pay just a bit higher than the second competitor. You buy the same volume of quality traffic but for a smaller budget.

2. Predict optimal bids for test campaigns

2. Predict optimal bids for test campaigns

There is no need to guess which payout to place for a test campaign. Adsterra Traffic Estimator evaluates your nearest competition and sends you recommended payouts for the country you target. The tool also estimates the number of impressions or clicks you’ll be getting with this bid.

3. Optimize spend while improving ROI

Managing your expenses becomes even more critical when you're on a budget. With CPA Goal, you can start a CPM/CPC campaign that will be automatically optimized by eCPA or the number of conversions. Simply create a rule that will unlink ad placements that spend too much.

Your spending will depend on the traffic volume within your targeting and the average eCPM. For example, when you target the US, we recommend a minimum of $100 for the test.
