Payment Terms
Yes we do, the minimum prepayment is $100.
ASTRAD DSP operates on a prepaid model. We offer multiple payment options, including credit cards, wire transfers, and PayPal.

Once you’ve deposited a minimum of $100, you can kickstart your ad campaign and start bidding for ad placements.

You can, however, automatically set CPC, CPA, CPV, CPCV, etc. goals, and our optimization algorithms will do the rest to get as close to these goals as possible.
We do not impose a minimum campaign budget. We recognize that some campaigns may necessitate minimum testing budgets.
