Rite.ly Link Ads is the cheaper alternative to Twitter Promoted Tweets (aka Twitter ads)

Promoted tweets can increase visibility and engagement. These Twitter ads’ costs will depend on how much you bid, but prices vary from $0.50 to $2 per billable action.

The Cost Per Million (CPM) is significantly higher on Twitter, at up to $3.50 compared to an average CPM of $0.59 on Facebook. CPM refers to the price of ad impressions — so in other words, it will cost you 5–6 times more to advertise on Twitter than on Facebook.

What about “Twitter Promote Mode?”

Twitter Promote Mode can be a way to get started with Twitter ads to see how they work. The cost is $99 per month, however.

After the free 7-day trial, what can you do with $15/month from Rite.ly?

For just $15/month, with Rite.ly, you get the rite.link shortener and also one free custom subdomain (useful for those who own a domain and can make a subdomain for it in their domain hosting’s Cpanel). You get unlimited advertisements, 5,000 link clicks/month, and you can scale up your usage — if actually needed.

Rite.ly can be purchased on a subscription basis, either as a stand-alone (a la carte) product or as port of the RiteKit Package — maximum savings.

In addition to Rite.ly’s exclusive video calls-to-action (ads), and the many types of content that Rite.ly lets you advertise on top of and Snip.ly do not, a huge benefit with Rite.ly is how you only pay for what you need.

As with all Ritekit products, when you get started with Rite.ly, you will start a free trial. Our trials just expire. We do not get credit card information up front, and we do not assume the sale. Even if you pay for any RiteKit products, you will not be billed for Rite.ly or anything else you trial without you visiting pricing and choosing to upgrade, and completing the payment process.

Say you just launched a budding social media management agency. Your small and mid-tier clients will use your subdomain for their Rite.ly URLs. You might have no top-tier clients yet. When you do, you will set up and use their subdomain for their Rite.ly URLs. For now, just the one subdomain will do. We don’t think you should pay for six (Snip.ly Business does this), just one — and we include this with Rite.ly, even at the lowest tier, $15/month. For most, the RiteKit Package is the best for integrating Rite.ly Link Ads into your auto-post generation and scheduling. Search “Package” in our help directory for more.

Because the closest competitor to Rite.ly, Snip.ly, offers features based on their tiers, the cheapest tier you’ll need to get even one custom subdomain is Business: US$149/month. That would cost you $15/month (Rite.ly Pro $15 and one subdomain is included) with Rite.ly. Even just to replace the Snip.ly logo (linked to their site) with your new agency’s logo or your client’s logos, again, due to their packages, the number of brand logos are limited by tier, and the cheapest tier that allows this at all is Business, $59/month. With Rite.ly, you get one custom subdomain (search our help for the set-up of that), unlimited brand logos with Rite.ly Pro: $15/month.

Pay for the link clicks you need, custom domains you need, and scale up or down on a month to month basis with Rite.ly.

We suggest that everyone start very small and only pay for more subdomains and link clicks if actually needed.
