Your message on thousands of phones
Spread shows your message as an ad on Facebook and Instagram. Just write your message, set a budget, choose an area, and we take care of the rest.
- Ready in a few minutes
- No account, no setup
Why not do it yourself on Facebook or Instagram?
Want to grow your own Page or professional account? Boosting your posts may suit you better.
Why we built Spread
Ads Manager is built for companies, and boosting is built for people growing a Facebook Page or an Instagram professional account. We think anyone should be able to reach their neighborhood without either: to say what they’ve lost or are looking for, what they offer, what they organize, or what’s happening nearby.

Questions
How much does it cost?
You choose your own budget (min. $25). Spread’s fee is $2.50 plus 7.5% of your budget, and the rest is spent delivering your ad on Facebook and Instagram: on $25, that is $4.38 for the fee and $20.62 for your ad. On $100 it is $10 and $90. The fee covers reviewing your ad, setting up the campaign, and payment processing. Prices include VAT where it applies. There is no subscription and nothing to maintain: you pay per message.
When am I charged?
When you submit, we place a hold on your card for the amount of your budget. You are only charged once your ad is approved and starts running. If it is not approved, the hold is released and you pay nothing.
How long will my ad run?
You pick the duration when you set your budget, and we suggest one that fits it. Your ad stops by itself at the end, and you can follow how it is doing from your results page at any time.
What is allowed?
Anything that fits our rules and Meta's advertising policies, and your message can be in English, Spanish, French, Dutch, or German. What we can't take is listed in the rules by country.
Who can see my contact details?
The contact you enter for your ad (a phone number, WhatsApp number, email, social media link, or website) is public: it is how people respond to your message, and it appears on the ad's page. The email address you sign up with is never published; we use it only to reach you about your ad.
