Roku Ads Manager may be a good fit if…
- You want a low self-serve entry point — Roku’s minimum campaign budget is $500 — and will run the campaign yourself.
- You are targeting one platform’s audience specifically.
- You are comfortable operating an ad platform day to day.
Rambunctious.tv may be a better fit if…
- You want the campaign planned and managed rather than self-operated.
- You want targeting across premium streaming rather than a single platform.
- You want a written completion guarantee before the campaign runs.
- You want creative support in the same scope as the media.

Questions
Why is your minimum higher than theirs?
Because the campaign is planned, bought, optimized and reported by a U.S.-based team, and because a flight needs enough weight to deliver and to measure. The minimum is about $50 a day on each daily pick, over 30 days or longer.
Do you buy across more than one streaming platform?
Yes. We plan across premium streaming apps in the markets you choose, and your reporting names the apps your commercial actually ran on.
Do I have to operate anything?
No. You build the plan online, and from there the campaign team runs it.
