Meta Ads FAQ

Are Meta ads free or paid?

Totally paid—you bid in auctions for spots. No free rides unless you're boosting a post casually. Pick your budget, and Meta serves 'em to the right eyes. Free use means seeing ads; paying shows yours.

Need this done for you?

We build, test, and scale Meta ads for founders who want conversions over vanity metrics. Let’s ship a creative that wins.

Straight answer, friend: Meta ads cost money. No free lunch. You pay to play, auction-style bidding for feed real estate. Want to boost a post? Still paid. Organic reach tanked—the algorithm buries non-payers.

Free side: users see ads that fund platforms. Monetized creators earn from views, but that's passive income.

Pay model flexibility: set daily or lifetime budgets, choose auto or manual bidding. Minimum? Could be pennies in some spots, but $1 a day laughs at getting real data.

Why paid? Scale. Billions of users demand precision, and that costs. Organic? Slim chance—maybe friends and family only.

Your Vispaico hustle: free posts reach dozens; ads hit thousands of agencies overnight.

Setup's simple: Ads Manager account, payment method, boom—you're live. Pause anytime, no lock-in contracts.

Exceptions? Charity boosts sometimes get discounts, but rare.

Test tiny: $5 probes ideas. Data flows, you optimize.

Versus rivals: Google search is paid, TikTok too. Social advertising's all pay-to-win now.

Hacks: user-generated content feels organic and boosts reach. Contests drive shares cheap.

2026: privacy cuts supply, bids rise—no free passes exist.

Bottom line: invest smart, reap big. Free's fine for a hobby; paid builds a business. Dive in paying, watch it grow.
