Volume-Based Craigslist Posting Pricing That Scales With Your Business

No minimum monthly commitment. You can post as little as 2 ads per day (Starter tier minimum) or run a one-week test campaign of 14 ads. Most clients run ongoing monthly campaigns because Craigslist posting works best with consistent daily volume, but there is no contractual minimum.

No setup fees. No onboarding charges. No hidden costs. You pay only for live Craigslist ads at your tier's per-ad rate. The only additional charges are Craigslist's own platform fees: the Services section ($5 per ad), For Sale by Dealer section ($5 per ad), and Jobs section ($10 to $75 per ad). These Craigslist fees are passed through at cost with zero markup.

Most clients pay upfront for a monthly Craigslist posting budget, and we draw down against it as ads are posted. Daily reports show the running balance. When the budget is depleted, you can top up or pause the campaign. Larger Scale tier accounts have net-15 invoice terms. Payment methods include credit card, ACH, wire transfer, and PayPal.

You do not get a cash refund, but you do get a free repost. Our 100% Live Ads Guarantee means any ghosted, flagged, or removed Craigslist ad gets reposted at no additional cost. In practice this means your paid budget always converts to live ads. Our daily reports show every ad that required reposting and confirm when each went back live.

Yes. If your campaign volume increases or decreases, your tier automatically adjusts at the start of the next billing period. Run 8 ads per day in week one, increase to 15 ads per day in week two, you move from Starter to Growth tier and pay $0.75 per ad instead of $1.00. No fees, no paperwork, no penalties.

Pause anytime with 24 hours notice by email or phone. Common reasons clients pause: seasonal slowdowns (HVAC companies in mild spring weather), capacity constraints (booked solid for the next month), inventory limits (used car dealer sold out). Unspent budget rolls forward to when you resume. No pause fee.

Yes, for clients paying 12 months in advance we offer a 10 percent discount on the per-ad rate. For 6 months prepayment, 5 percent discount. Most clients pay monthly because Craigslist posting works on a monthly rhythm and you maintain maximum flexibility. Annual prepayment makes sense for established businesses that have already validated Craigslist as a reliable channel.

Most LiveAdPosting clients spend between $300 and $1,500 per month on Craigslist posting service. Single-city service businesses (HVAC, plumber, electrician) typically spend $200 to $400 per month at the Starter tier. Multi-city operators (movers, real estate investors) spend $400 to $800 per month at the Growth tier. Nationwide operators (auto transport, junk car buyers, MCA funders) spend $800 to $3,000 per month at the Scale tier.
