UGC ads cost in Dubai

Pricing depends on the number of concepts, variations, and turnaround speed. Use this guide to budget for performance creative testing without surprises.

What affects cost the most

• Concept count and number of variations per concept.
• Production complexity (locations, props, talent).
• Turnaround speed and revision rounds.

How to budget for testing

Aim for at least 6–10 variations per month if you are running paid campaigns weekly. This gives you enough volume to test hooks without exhausting your best angles.

Typical package framework

• Starter: 1 concept, 4 variations for quick tests.
• Growth: 3 concepts, 10 variations for weekly testing.
• Scale: 6 concepts, 20 variations for always-on creative.

What the numbers really cover

A package price is not just a deliverable count. It includes creative strategy, the hook stack, scripting, filming, edits, captions, and multiple variations to support testing. If you compare a per-video quote to a package, the package typically provides more testing leverage because it optimizes around performance, not volume alone. That is why brands running paid campaigns prefer packages with defined concepts and variations.

For example, a single concept with 3-6 variations lets you test hook angles, CTAs, and pacing differences without re-shooting every time. This reduces the cost of iteration because you can stay inside the same concept while still testing new creative angles.

How to budget for real testing

Paid media testing works when you can run multiple variations per week. If your budget only allows 1-2 assets, it becomes hard to isolate what is actually working. The most efficient approach is to choose a package that supports weekly testing, then upgrade to a retainer once you see reliable wins.

• Start with a starter test package to validate hooks.
• Move to a growth package to test new offers and audiences.
• Use a monthly retainer to sustain always-on creative.

Questions to ask before you sign

Ask whether usage rights are included, what the revision policy looks like, and whether the provider supports paid placements on TikTok and Meta. You should also confirm whether they provide scripts and hook options or if you need to supply them. These details affect the real cost of production and the speed of testing.

Sample budget scenarios

If you are launching a new product, a starter test package is often enough to validate two hook angles. Once you see early signal, move to a growth package so you can keep testing without losing momentum. Brands that run ads every week typically shift to a monthly retainer because it reduces per-asset cost and keeps production predictable.

• Launch test: 1 concept + 3 variations to validate a promise.
• Weekly testing: 3 concepts + 10 variations to refresh creative.
• Scale: 6 concepts + 20 variations to avoid fatigue.
