Paying for Programmatic Job Ads

A prepaid package of clicks at a fixed rate — not a subscription, not an auction, and it never renews on its own.

2 min read · Updated July 2026 · Expertini Editorial

Programmatic Job Ads are bought as a one-off, prepaid package of clicks. You choose how many clicks you want, pay once, and the order delivers against that quota. There is no recurring charge, no monthly minimum, and nothing renews unless you deliberately place another order.

This is deliberately the simpler of the two models used in the industry. You are buying delivered clicks at a rate fixed when you order — not bidding in a real-time auction where your effective cost moves with demand.

01What you are buying

A click quota at a fixed rate per click, set at the moment you place the order and unchanged for its life. The total you pay is simply clicks ordered × rate per click, shown before you confirm.

Clicks are counted after fraud and duplicate filtering — see Click Fraud Protection for what is excluded and why. A click that does not survive filtering is not deducted from your quota and not charged for.

02How it is paid

Payment is taken once, at the point of order, through the same Stripe checkout as everything else. Because it is a one-off rather than a subscription, more payment methods are available — including local methods such as UPI, iDEAL, Pix and BLIK that Stripe does not permit on cross-border subscriptions. See Supported payment methods.

An invoice is generated at purchase, showing the click quota, the rate and the total.

03The 90-day window

An order is live for 90 days from activation. Within that window it delivers clicks against your quota; the campaign can be paused and resumed at any time without losing the remaining balance.

If the quota is not fully delivered by the end of the 90 days, the order expires — and you are refunded for the clicks you did not receive. That is covered in full on Refunds for unused clicks.

04Budget control

The total is fixed at the point of purchase, which is the whole point of a prepaid model: there is no possibility of overspend, no daily budget to monitor, and no bill at the end of the month that is larger than you expected. When the quota is delivered, delivery stops.

05What it is not

It is not a real-time bidding auction against external ad exchanges — it is a fixed-rate purchase against Expertini's own network. It is not a cost-per-application model: you pay for delivered, filtered clicks, not for completed applications. And it is not connected to your ATS subscription in any way — you can buy clicks on any plan, and cancelling a subscription does not affect an order already placed.

Frequently asked questions

Does this renew automatically?
No. It is a one-off purchase. Nothing recurs and nothing is charged again unless you place another order.
Can I pay with UPI, iDEAL or Pix?
Yes — because this is a one-off payment rather than a subscription, local payment methods are available. Stripe shows what applies to your location at checkout.
What happens if I do not use all the clicks?
You are refunded for the undelivered ones at the rate you paid. See Refunds for unused clicks.
Do I need an ATS subscription to buy clicks?
The tool is available according to your plan's access, but the click package itself is a separate purchase and is not tied to your subscription's billing.
Can I spend more than I intended?
No. The amount is fixed at purchase and delivery stops when the quota is met.
