Yes, Facebook ads have definitely gotten more expensive recently, with average costs per thousand impressions (CPMs) jumping around 14% year-over-year due to intense competition and Meta’s heavy shift toward AI-optimized auctions. Cuz of this, a total beginner should skip tiny $1 budgets and start with a practical testing budget of $20 to $50 per day per campaign. This baseline spend ensures Meta's algorithm actually gets enough conversion data to exit the "learning phase" and optimize your ads properly. If you're runnin a full conversion or e-commerce campaign, plan for an overall monthly testing budget of about $500 to $1,500 so you can test different creatives without runnin outta cash before seeing real results.

For each campaign and account type, it typically ranges from $20 to $50 per day.

I wouldn't start with a huge budget. Better to lose $20 learning than $200 learning the same lesson

Comparing to prior years, yes facebook ads have been progressively more expensive with time. Test different campaigns with 10$ per day and when you find a succesful one you can gradually increase spending.

Agreed, the amount of people using Meta for ads has gone up as well. Eventually, I think it will turn into an ad platform and away from a social platform. Seems its already there

Facebook ads have generally become more competitive over the years, which means costs have increased in many industries. That said, whether they're "expensive" really depends on your niche, audience, location, and campaign goals.

If you're just starting out, I wouldn't worry too much about finding the perfect budget. I'd start with an amount you're comfortable testing with, gather data, and see what your actual cost per lead, click, or sale looks like. A small budget can still teach you a lot if the campaign is set up properly.

The biggest mistake I see beginners make is spending too little time on the offer, creative, and targeting while focusing only on the budget. Those factors often have a much bigger impact on results than the daily spend itself.

Most important are firstly
Your geo
Then your niche
Then the number of competitors in your niche
After considering your conversion cost

Facebook is still expensive, and it's becoming increasingly difficult for retailers.

 

[AzielFoste]

facebook ads have become more expensive in a lot of niches especially competitive ones.
if you are just starting then i would begin with a small test budget and focus on finding what works before spending more.
the quality of your targeting and creatives usually matters more than having a big budget.

 

[ellarvfjodie]

For beginners, I think you should start with $50 a day.

 

[Kycool]

yes ads more expensive now
quality of traffic worst now

 

[evebeatot]

It will vary for each account; I think it's between $20 and $50.

 

[Golden Agency]

Costs can vary depending on your niche and target, but many people feel it more competitive lately

 

[MercuryAgency]

yes, facebook is expensive, but you can still control and manage it reasonably. if you are new to facebook, you should start at small budget, $20-50/day first, then you can increase gradually.

This does happens whenever facebook updates their algorithm

 

[LennoxGrey]

costs have gone up in many niche but it really depends on your audience and competition. if you are just starting then i would focus on testing with a small budget first rather than worrying about scaling. a modest daily budget is usually enough to find out whether your targeting and creatives are working before spending more.

That's why you need more creative videos; create multiple campaigns with small budgets, find the most effective one, and scale it up.
