Before you pick a budget, know what one booking is worth to you.
What you keep per Session
Start with your Session price, minus the AlongSide fee for your plan. That's what you keep.
| Your plan | Platform fee on your Sessions |
|---|---|
| Free | 9% |
| Guide Plus | 4.5% |
| Guide Premium | 0% |
What a click costs
A click on a Traffic ad in most local service industries runs $0.45–$0.75. The calculator below uses the industry breakdown to narrow that range for your trade.
My test rule
One test week should cost about what one booking earns you. If one booking pays for the week, the test is safe.
Compare: pay-per-lead sites
Pay-per-lead sites charge $10–$100 per lead that may never answer. On AlongSide you pay a fee only when money actually moves.
Put your numbers in the calculator, then come back for setup.
