Your Meta Ads subscription in Understory is designed to be flexible and easy to manage. Billing for Understory Ads starts as soon as you sign up and onboard in the product—so you can begin using advertising tools and see real results quickly.
Your monthly billing start date is always the same as your signup date, which is set 5 days before your ads go live. This means subscription fees begin as soon as you finish onboarding, since our team begins working on your account right away.

How the Understory Meta Ads subscription works
Price: Understory Meta Ads costs €249/month, plus your chosen monthly ad budget.
Minimum commitment: There is a 2-month minimum commitment for every customer.
60-day money-back guarantee for all new Understory Meta Ads customers. Try the service risk-free.
No marketing experience needed – we handle the setup for you.
Ad budget details:
Minimum ad budget: €400/month.
100% of your ad budget goes directly to the advertising platform (Meta) and is paid there (not to Understory).
Note: The ad budget you set in Understory and what Meta actually spends in a calendar month might not match exactly. Meta calculates ad spend daily; Understory tracks it by the month.
Billing timing:
Your Understory Meta Ads billing date will always match your signup date (for example, sign up on the 3rd, billed on the 3rd of every month).
Billing starts as soon as you’ve onboarded, exactly 5 days before your ads go live, because our team starts working straight away.
Cancellation:
You keep full access to Understory Meta Ads until the end of the month you’ve paid for, even if you cancel early. (Example: Renew on March 5, cancel on March 10, access continues until April 5.)
No refunds for unused days after cancellation. You just won’t be billed again.
To cancel, use the "Manage plan" button in your Meta Ads dashboard at any time.
