You can start testing with like $50 and still see if your funnel works. Just keep a close eye on CTR and cut anything that’s burning cash. Don’t let the algo eat your wallet for no reason.

You can experiment with around $50-80 and see if your funnel works. To control costs, set a budget limit, test small and scale gradually, optimize targeting and content, track KPIs, and quickly turn off underperforming ads.

You should prepare 8 – 20 USD/day to run effective ads.
You can control costs by setting budget limits, dividing to test, tracking CPC/CPA, and optimizing content as well as customer files.

In today's scenario, we need to invest at least 10 dollars per day to see some effective results. People spending high budget tend to get more effective results.

it will depend on products you want to run ads, you can launch some camps ~ 10-20$ per day to test which is suitable for your set-up and scale gradually then

From my experience, Facebook ad costs really depend on niche and targeting. In competitive niches CPC can go over $1, but for broad audiences I usually see $0.30–$0.60. Testing different creatives and audiences makes a big difference in keeping costs down.

Firstly it depends on the currency of your country but i will use $ as an example. Now the strategy that has being working for me is starting with a small amount like $20-30 at first,to warm up the ads and make it learn, no matter how big of aim you have..
You should start with a small amount before scaling up gradually because the algorithm is very smart and if you start with too big of an amount like $500 all at once, you are telling the algorithm that "Oh, i have loads of money, come eat them up" and the result? your ads cost will be very high

First, you can run test campaigns with a low budget, for example $20-50/day, then gradually increase it. During the advertising process, you need to evaluate the results and costs, regularly A/B test, monitor daily performance and comply with advertising policies to learn from experience and optimize it.

Dude, I think it's $5–10/day to test. Effectiveness depends more on targeting, creative quality, and campaign setup than the raw budget.
To control costs:
Set daily or lifetime budget caps.
Use precise targeting to avoid wasted impressions.
Monitor performance (CPC, CPM, CPA) and pause underperforming ads.
Continuously test and optimize creatives and audiences.
In short: start small, measure, and scale only what works.

In fact, there is no specific budget because it depends on your product
I have some suggestions for you as follows and this is my personal opinion
1. Set a fixed daily budget
2. Track the performance index (CPC, CPM, CPA, ROAS) daily to know
3. Use the right target audience to avoid wasting budget
4. Regularly test content and audience files

Can a smaller budget be used?

At least $20 a day is doable if your budget is tight.

That is, the more you consume, the lower the price will be.
