By the end of this page you'll have a Koast account, your ad accounts connected, and your first campaign live. Connecting takes a few minutes. Your first campaign takes as long as you spend building it.

What you need

• A Facebook profile with access to the Meta ad accounts you want to run. No profile? You can create a Koast ad account instead.
• A card for your Koast plan.
• Your creatives and a landing page for the first campaign.

1. Sign up

Accounts are created after checkout. Go to koast.ai, choose a plan and pay. Signing up with Google or Facebook goes through the same checkout.

1. Complete checkout. Koast shows Welcome to Koast.

2. If you paid with an email address, open the email Set your Koast password and select Set your password.

3. The login page opens with your email and temporary password filled in. Type a New Password, repeat it in Confirm New Password (and add your name if asked), then select Confirm Account.

If you signed up with Google or Facebook, Koast signs you in straight after payment. See Sign in and finish onboarding.

2. Connect your ad accounts

The first time you sign in, Koast opens onboarding.
