Cost and floors
| TikTok | Snapchat | |
|---|---|---|
| Official daily min | $50 campaign / $20 ad group | $5 / day |
| Practical conversion test | $100–$250 / day | $50–$100 / day; $250+ more reliable |
| Awareness CPM | $4–$10 common | AdLiftr median awareness ~$5.84 |
| Conversion CPM | Higher; $8–$16+ | AdLiftr median conversion ~$27 |
| CPC | $0.30–$1.50 | ~$0.50–$1.00; median ~$0.84 |
Snap is cheaper to start. TikTok’s match is larger if you can fund $1,000–$6,000 in a month. A $5/day Snap test does not replace a TikTok learning phase.
TikTok floors and CPM bands: pricing.
Snap’s own marketing has claimed a large share of daily Snapchatters are not on TikTok that day. Use it as a reach argument, not as a CPA forecast.
Creative
TikTok: For You feed, Spark Ads, sound on, comment velocity. Creative Center for Top Ads. Symphony if you need volume of cuts in week one.
Snap: full-screen vertical, swipe-up, Spotlight, Lenses if you have the budget. No comment thread to inherit. AR is the differentiator. Lenses are not a $5/day test.
Do not port a TikTok winner to Snap without recutting the safe zone and the first frame. Do not port a Snap story into TikTok with a black letterbox.
When Snap first
- You need a $5–$20/day read this week and cannot fund TikTok’s $50 floor
- Creative is AR / camera-native, not a talking-head Spark
- The offer is dating, gaming, app-install, or a 13–24 product TikTok already saturates
- You already advertised on TikTok. The $6k match is gone. Snap may still have a new-advertiser card
When TikTok first
- You are new on TTAM and can fund at least $500 in 30 days. The match is many times Snap’s typical bonus
- You have Spark-able organic posts
- You need comment social proof and a bigger auction
You can run both. Sequence TikTok if the match is still available. Do not split $200 across two auctions and learn nothing.
Which bonus to take first
| TikTok partner-link match | Typical Snap 2026 new-advertiser | |
|---|---|---|
| Size | Up to $6,000 | Often spend $350 get $375 |
| Window | 30 days from registration | Often 14 days from claim |
| Floor | $50/day campaign | $5/day is possible |
| Creative | 9:16 in-feed, safe-zone top/bottom | Different safe zones, audio culture |
| When it wins | You can fund $1,000+ and already have vertical video | You need a cheap awareness cell or a younger demo |
Claim both if you are new on both. Do not delay the TikTok partner page “until Snap is live.” The TikTok clock starts at registration, and it is the larger dollar amount. Coupon · How to claim.
Same file on both apps is a wasted test. Recut. Creative Center for TikTok hooks only.
