Before submission
Review the exact USD rate, unit, objective, placement, billable outcome, and Ads Policy version. Your confirmation is single-use and expires after ten minutes.
During delivery
Budget, pacing, frequency, and wallet limits are enforced at billing time. Each paid event, wallet debit, ledger entry, and campaign statistic is committed together.
Prepaid wallet terms
Purchases are final and credits are not cash-redeemable except where non-waivable law requires otherwise. Unused credits remain available for future eligible campaigns. Verified billing or delivery errors receive the remedy stated in the Ads Policy.
04Published controls
Know what gets reviewed and billed.
Qualified Outcomes Only
Reach bills qualified viewable impressions; Clicks and Search bill qualified destination clicks; Messages bill verified conversations; Leads bill validated instant-form submissions. Potential reach and elapsed time are not billable.
Exact Quote Before Review
Before submission, you see and confirm the exact objective, placement, billable outcome, USD rate, unit, and Ads Policy version. The receipt is single-use and expires after ten minutes.
Approval Cannot Drift
The reviewed creative, destination, identity, audience, keywords, form, and rate are bound to one immutable revision. A material edit pauses delivery and requires a fresh quote and human review.
What we don’t guarantee
Sales, conversion rate, delivery volume, or permanent pricing. Sales happen on your website, and available inventory can be limited. Ambitious commits to the published review, serving, metering, billing, and billing-error rules.
05Included controls
Built into every advertiser account.
Human campaign review
Every campaign is reviewed before it can serve. Rejection feedback is visible in the advertiser workspace so you can correct and resubmit it.
Before delivery
Optional AI assistance
Eligible advertisers can ask for copy, audience, and keyword suggestions. AI suggestions are optional, rate-limited, disclosed, and never approve or bill a campaign.
You stay in control
Prepaid spend controls
Daily budgets, pacing, frequency limits, low-balance suspension, and global delivery controls prevent a campaign from spending beyond its reviewed rate and available wallet.
No credit line
Itemized campaign analytics
Review daily impressions, clicks, qualified outcomes, and spend in the advertiser workspace. Every paid event links to an immutable wallet-ledger entry.
Built in
Auto-recharge stays off by default
A saved card does not enable automatic charging. Auto-recharge requires a separate explicit opt-in and can be disabled again from billing settings.
Explicit opt-in
06How it works
Set up in three steps.
01
Build your campaign
Create the campaign revision — creative, objective, daily budget, and audience — in one self-serve workflow. No pixel setup or multi-account structure is required.
02
Fund your wallet
Load prepaid credits through hosted Stripe Checkout — card details never touch Ambitious servers. Credits are deducted only for the reviewed billable outcome and are subject to the Ads Policy.
03
Human review, then eligible to serve
A real person reviews every campaign before it can serve. Approval makes the campaign eligible, but delivery still depends on inventory, balance, pacing, frequency, and platform controls.
07The straight answer
Yes, Ambitious is early.
That’s the deal.
Available inventory is limited, and a budget may spend gradually rather than overnight. There is no auction: billing uses the exact objective-specific rate you confirm before review, and undelivered inventory does not consume credits. If that rate or another material campaign term changes, delivery stops until you confirm a fresh quote and the revised campaign passes review. Start small and evaluate qualified delivery.
Start with an exact quote and controlled budget.
Choose an objective, review the exact rate and billable outcome, fund a prepaid wallet through hosted Stripe Checkout, and submit for human review. Early inventory is limited, so begin with a budget you are comfortable evaluating over time.

08FAQ
Questions, answered straight.
How many users do you even have?▼
Ambitious is early, so available inventory is limited and budgets may spend slowly. You are billed only when the reviewed objective’s qualified outcome occurs; elapsed time and undelivered inventory do not consume credits.
What does it cost?▼
Rates vary by category, objective, and placement. The server shows the exact USD rate, rate unit, placement, billable outcome, and policy version for you to confirm immediately before submission. There is no auction or monthly platform fee in this release.
Are prepaid ad credits refundable?▼
Advertising purchases are final and credits are not redeemable for cash except where non-waivable law requires otherwise. For a verified billing or delivery error reported within the policy window, the remedy is restoration of the affected credits or equivalent make-good delivery, as described in the Ads Policy.
How do I know bots aren’t eating my spend?▼
Known bot and automated accounts are ineligible for advertiser billing, serving is bound to issued serve receipts, and impression/click acceptance is deduplicated and rate-limited. Verified metering errors are handled under the billing-error remedy in the Ads Policy.
What if my budget doesn’t spend?▼
Slow delivery is expected at this stage. You are not charged for time or undelivered inventory; unused credits remain in your ad wallet for future eligible campaigns, subject to the Ads Policy.
What does an ad look like?▼
Feed ads are native sponsored cards within the organic content stream, clearly labeled Sponsored. Search ads are labeled sponsored results. A call to action can open your HTTPS destination or a verified conversation.
What are the rules?▼
Plain-English and strict: no adult content, gambling, weapons, crypto schemes, MLM, or earnings claims. Your ad and your landing page must tell the same honest story. Every campaign is human-reviewed, and members known to be under 18 are excluded from serving.
Do you guarantee sales?▼
No. Sales happen on your website, with your product and landing page. Ambitious commits only to the published review, serving, metering, billing, and error-remedy rules.
