AdRoll pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives
AdRoll (adroll.com) is a ad tool. No platform fee on the self-serve retargeting plan: you pay only for media, billed on dynamic CPM, while the other plans are usage-based or quote-based.. No free plan.
What AdRoll costs
- $10k ad spend/mo: free (Account-Based Retargeting says 'No fee to get started and pay only for media' (adroll.com/pricing). The only charge is media, so 0 x $10,000 platform fee = $0; ad spend itself excluded. No minimum spend, seat or platform fee is stated, so no add-on is added.)
- $50k ad spend/mo: free (Same plan and rule: no per-seat, minimum or add-on fee is stated for 3 users or 3 ad accounts, so $0. Multi-user logins and platform coverage are not stated on the pricing page and are assumed to carry no extra charge.)
Plan compared: Account-Based Retargeting (self-serve): media only, no platform fee stated. Prices are USD per month on monthly billing (annual-only plans divided by 12) for a small advertiser spending $10,000 a month across a Meta and a Google Ads account, checked against whatever each kind of tool bills by: ad spend, 1,000 conversions, 10,000 paid clicks, 50 new creatives or a 1,000-product catalog sent to 2 channels. We also price a growing advertiser at $50,000 a month with 3 users; the ad spend itself is never included.

Pricing page: adroll.com/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. Neither the official pricing page nor PricingSaaS lists any dollar price, so the 0 rests on the retargeting plan's 'pay only for media' wording; its platform coverage, ongoing fees and limits are unstated. A third-party changelog logs 2026 plan renames and removals with no prices and an AI-structured, internally inconsistent record, so none of them is recorded as a change.
