Setupad's 2025 publisher guide gives a traffic guideline, but it counts visitors in one section and sessions in another. Most of your traffic should come from the US, UK, Canada, or Australia. Self-Serve, its newer product, has its own plans for much larger sites, so check which one you're applying for.
Your site must meet Setupad's quality policy, and low-quality sites aren't accepted. You set up ads.txt and run Setupad's demand sources, including Google. Apply through Setupad's publisher contact page.

How does Setupad pay?
Setupad's published guidance sets the payment timing and minimum for its managed service and its optional reseller demand. On Self-Serve, demand partners you work with directly pay you under their own agreements. For that demand, Setupad charges a flat fee per thousand impressions instead of a share.
The currency is not public, and neither is the minimum for reseller demand on Self-Serve.

Who is Setupad a fit for?
Publishers who want a platform to run their display ads. Its 2025 publisher guide looks for about 100,000 monthly visitors, mostly from the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Self-Serve, its newer product, has separate plans for sites with 10 million or more monthly visits.
Why are Setupad's rules unclear?
Setupad's guidance doesn't fully agree with itself. The 2025 guide counts visitors in one place and sessions in another, and Self-Serve has its own plans. Ask its team for current eligibility before you count on them.
What should you have ready before you apply?
An ads.txt file you can update, and a site that meets Setupad's quality policy. Setupad doesn't accept low-quality sites.
How can Setupad pay you?
By bank transfer, PayPal, Payoneer, Wise, Revolut, or Paysera, according to its guidance.
How much does Setupad take?
It depends on where the money comes from. If you use Setupad's optional reseller demand, Setupad keeps 20%. On Self-Serve, demand partners you work with directly pay you under their own agreements, and Setupad charges a flat €0.05 per thousand impressions.
What should you ask before you sign?
The currency you're paid in, and whether Setupad must be your only ad partner. Ask how long the contract runs and how much notice you need to leave.
How can you check if a site uses Setupad?
Look for Setupad in the site's ads.txt file, or paste the domain into our ad network checker.
