The Trade-off

Extremely cheap CPMs ($2-6 vs $15-30 on Meta/LinkedIn) and great for reaching tech-savvy audiences — but Twitter's ad targeting is less sophisticated than Meta's, and brand safety concerns persist on the platform.

The Strategy

Twitter/X Ads are the most underutilized paid channel for startups in 2025-2026. Since Elon Musk's acquisition, many major advertisers pulled their budgets, which cratered ad prices. The result: CPMs on Twitter are now $2-6 vs. $15-30 on Meta and $30-80 on LinkedIn. For startups targeting tech, business, or creator audiences, this is an extraordinary arbitrage opportunity.
