OpenAI Ads pricing

OpenAI Ads pricing, kept honest.

Two costs, clearly separated: your advertising budget goes to OpenAI, and the management fee goes to ControlShift. Plans from one-time setup to full monthly management.

Your ad spend

Paid directly to OpenAI for media. It is set by the auction, your market and your goals — beginning with a controlled test budget.

ControlShift management fee

Paid to us for strategy, setup, ads, landing pages, tracking, optimisation and reporting. This is where our pricing plans apply.

Budget guidance

How much should you spend on OpenAI Ads?

It depends on your industry, market, audience and objectives. The reliable pattern is to start with a controlled test budget, learn what converts, then scale the winners.

Why separate the two?

Some agencies roll ad budget and fees into one confusing number. Keeping them separate means:

  • You see exactly what the media costs
  • You see exactly what management costs
  • Spend decisions stay transparent — no opaque margins
  • Scaling budget does not change our fee structure
