Classic marketing
is dead.

Performance marketing for self-serve & product-led SaaS - freemium tools, subscription apps, prosumer software, AI copilots and metered products. Nobody talks to a salesperson, so the payment that makes a customer clears days later where no pixel follows. The optimiser buys more signups, and only the trigger that survives the trial earns a payer.

The campaign that buys the most signups is usually the one that buys the fewest payers.

Cases

Self-serve SaaS targets, and the real cases behind them

Tap a case - we'll show the details. Figures are from live campaigns; brand names withheld under NDA. No self-serve or product-led SaaS campaign of ours is published yet, so the targets below are modelled from two live cases that share the mechanic rather than the market - Crypto Trading Bot, a paid subscription tool bought with a card and no sales conversation, and Nutra - Weight Management, where the renewals rather than the first charge carried the money. The units are deliberately not ROAS and deliberately different on each card, because a paying subscriber, a payer still there at day thirty and an account past its first metered invoice are three different businesses. Those two real cases are underneath, with their true verticals on them. Full portfolio across every vertical →

Modelled targets, not delivered results. The ranges below are projections. The real campaigns they are modelled on sit underneath, with their actual verticals and figures on them.
Self-serve SaaS: what we would target
Freemium and free-trial tools · TARGET
Paying subscribers, not signups
$15-40K/mo$100-310 per paying subscriber+
Task
Buy the person who crosses the paywall rather than the one who creates an account, and let the refund window close before anybody calls a campaign a winner.
Modelled on $15-40K/mo · first honest read at 60 days
Target — not a delivered result
$100-310 per paying subscriber
$14-28
Cost / trial start
9-14%
Trial→paid kept
$100-310
Per paying subscriber
What we would run
  • The paying subscriber past the refund window wired in as the conversion, with the signup kept as a diagnostic and nothing more
  • Where the free tier ends carried in the creative, because the paywall is the argument and hiding it only moves the objection later
  • Billing events read back into bidding, so the platform stops optimising toward accounts you never charge
Mobile subscription apps · TARGET
Payers at day thirty, not installs
$25-70K/mo$40-149 per payer at day 30+
Task
Buy installs that become charges that survive a month, on a surface where the store keeps its commission and aggregated reporting will not name the creative that caused the payment.
Modelled on $25-70K/mo · first honest read at 45 days
Target — not a delivered result
$40-149 per payer at day 30
$2.40-5.20
Cost / install
3.5-6%
Install→payer at D30
$40-149
Per D30 payer
What we would run
  • Conversion values mapped to the payment rather than the install, so the little signal aggregation leaves is spent on the event that matters
  • Web checkout tested against the in-app one, because thirty per cent of every charge is the largest single lever on this card
  • Spend read against net revenue after commission and refunds, never against the gross the dashboard reports
Usage-based and metered products · TARGET
First paid invoices, not activations
$12-30K/mo$230-720 per paying account+
Task
Find the accounts whose consumption actually grows, and prove the revenue moved months before an annual number exists to point at.
Modelled on $12-30K/mo · first honest read at 120 days
Target — not a delivered result
$230-720 per paying account
$60-130
Cost / activated account
18-26%
Activated→first invoice
$230-720
Per paying account
What we would run
  • The first paid invoice as the conversion event, with activation reported beside it rather than instead of it
  • Predicted consumption value fed back into bidding, since one signup can be worth nothing forever or thousands by quarter end
  • Cohorts followed past the attribution window, because on this card the revenue always arrives after the platform has stopped counting
The real campaigns these targets come from
Crypto
Crypto Trading Bot
$118Kx6.12 ROI+
Task
Build a live audience for a crypto bot. Tier-1 GEOs, quality subscribers only. A paid subscription tool bought by one person with a card and nobody to talk to, which is the shape of this entire page. The trial had to produce the payment before anyone was charged, and the account was read on subscribers who kept paying rather than on the people who signed up.
Budget: $118K · Timeline: 6 mo

What we did

  • Creatives built around demo results
  • Automated funnel inside the bot
Nutra
Nutra - Weight Management
$512Kx2.58 ROI+
Task
Supplement sales on tier-1 markets. Priority: a high approve rate. $512K spent on a subscription where the money arrived after the acquisition event rather than at it. Renewals past the refund window decided whether the campaign worked, which is precisely the number a self-serve funnel has to be bought on.

Straight answers

The questions you're actually asking

What if it doesn't work? +
Then we're not doing our job. We work in short cycles and put real numbers in front of you - FTDs, CPA, ROAS - from the first weeks. If the trend isn't there, you'll know fast and you can walk. No 12-month lock-in to hide behind.
Do you actually work in regulated categories? +
Self-serve software sits in no special category, which is why this page argues about measurement rather than policy. Every platform will run you tomorrow. What none of them can see is the moment that decides your business. A signup is free and worth nothing on its own, and the payment that turns it into a customer lands days later, often behind an App Store or a Stripe checkout the pixel never reaches, so the optimiser cheerfully buys more of the signups that never convert. On mobile it is worse. The store takes its commission, usually thirty per cent, before you compute a return at all, which is exactly why so many operators moved checkout to the web. And because ATT opt-in has sat around twenty-seven per cent on AppsFlyer's own count, aggregated store reporting hides which creative produced a payer and tells you only that installs happened. AppsFlyer put global app marketing spend near a hundred and nine billion dollars in 2025, seventy-eight of it on user acquisition and thirty-one on remarketing, and a great deal of that is still optimised toward installs and signups by default. So we wire the conversion to the paying subscriber past the refund window, or to a predicted day-thirty payer where the volume supports one, never to a signup and never to an install, and we read spend against net revenue after commission rather than against the gross a dashboard reports. We will also tell you when the answer is not more acquisition - if the trial converts badly for product reasons, buying more trials makes the number worse and we would rather say so before you spend. Our published work is in other verticals and we will not pretend otherwise. What transfers is Crypto Trading Bot, a paid subscription tool bought by one person with a card and no conversation, where the trial had to earn the payment, and Nutra - Weight Management at $512K, where the renewals rather than the first charge decided whether the campaign worked. Self-serve SaaS itself we would run as a test with your billing wired in from week one.
Who actually runs my account? +
The people on this page. A strategist, a media buyer and a creative lead - and Pavel reviews it before kickoff. You won't get handed to a junior the day after you sign.
How fast can we start seeing things? +
First creatives are usually live within 72 hours of kickoff. We move fast on purpose - in these verticals, momentum and fresh angles are most of the game.
What's the minimum budget to start? +
It depends on the vertical and GEO, but as a rule of thumb: paid campaigns start making sense from $5k/mo in media spend. Below that, start with the free audit - we'll tell you honestly whether paid is your channel right now or your money is better spent elsewhere.
Who owns the ad accounts, creatives and data? +
Depends on the setup. In these verticals campaigns often run on our agency account structures - that's part of what keeps them durable. What never changes: full transparency. Every statistic, spend line and report is shared with you, and the creatives we build for you ship with you.
How do you report? +
A live dashboard you can open any day plus a weekly strategy call. You see spend, CPA and ROAS the same way we do - no monthly PDF theater.
Do you sign NDAs? +
Standard practice - most of our clients are under NDA, which is exactly why the cases on this page have no brand names. Your project stays as quiet as you need it to be.
