Telegram Ads test budget: how much for your first campaign

Optimal Telegram Ads test budget: €300–500 per hypothesis, $500 minimum TRAFFIX deposit, and scaling plan.

Minimums and deposit

Minimum cabinet deposit via TRAFFIX is $500. That's starting balance — not necessarily one-day test spend.

Per hypothesis (geo + offer + 2 creatives) TRAFFIX recommends €300–500 over 7–14 days — enough to judge CTR and first conversions.

  • TRAFFIX deposit: from $500
  • Hypothesis test: €300–500
  • Test window: 7–14 days

Budget allocation

Daily cap prevents burn: 20–30% of weekly test per day. Don't launch 5 hypotheses on $500 — you'll get noise, not stats.

Euro cabinet (32 countries, CPM): plan niche CPM spread. TON cabinet: cheaper sub tests, pricier complex bot funnels.

  • 1–2 hypotheses in parallel
