    How your ad budget works with SOAP

    With SOAP, you manage your own ad budget through the platform. You top up your balance whenever you want, you don't need a credit card, and every euro goes to your ads. You get your own ad account on Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn, and you always see exactly what's been spent and what's left.

    How does ad budget with SOAP differ from a job marketing agency?

    With a job marketing agency you often commit your budget upfront and get a separate invoice for it. With SOAP you top up your own balance and see in real time where every euro goes.

    General indication, practices vary by agency.

    How does the top-up work?

    With the top-up you add funds to your ad balance through the platform. You transfer the money yourself and decide when and how much. The balance is used for your campaigns on Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn.
