What's the Difference between Daily Budget and Lifetime Budget?


Daily budget:

A daily budget allows you to set the exact amount of budget per day. As such, it gives you more control over how much budget is spent on a day-to-day basis. However, using a daily budget doesn't allow you to use ad scheduling.


Lifetime budget:

A lifetime budget allows you to set an amount of budget to spend for the entirety of the campaign duration that you set. As such, you're giving more control to the system to manage the ad spending on a daily basis. This will result in fluctuating ad spend; some days you might spend less and some other days you might spend more. However, with lifetime budgets you're able to apply ad scheduling.
