Getting a quote
Nothing in Boost charges you without showing you the figure first. There are two ways to see a price: a rough public estimate that needs no account, and a real server-priced quote in the order composer that is exactly what you will be charged.
The two kinds of price
| Where | What it is | Includes your discount? |
|---|---|---|
Price calculator on /boost/prices | A client-side estimate from the published list price | No |
| Order summary on Start a boost | A live quote computed by the server, line by line | Yes — plan discount, volume rate-break, add-ons, coupon |
| Cart | A per-line client-side estimate only | No |
The public price calculator
No account needed.
- Open https://onflowads.com/boost/prices.
- Find the service and press Calculate a quantity.
- Type a quantity, or drag the slider. Both are clamped to the service's own range; the hint beneath reads
Min N · Max N. - Read the large USD figure, and the
≈ ₹line beneath it when an exchange rate is available.
The calculator prints its own caveat: Estimated list price. Sign in to see your member discount, volume breaks and any coupon applied at checkout. That is exactly right — it multiplies the published per-1,000 rate by your quantity and does nothing else.
The real quote, in the composer
Open Start a boost at https://onflowads.com/telegram/dashboard/boost/new and select a service. The composer opens beneath the catalogue, with a card headed Order summary on the right.
The summary re-quotes every time you change the quantity, flip Priority delivery or Refill guarantee, or apply a coupon. While a quote is in flight the card shows a dimmed, italicised row reading Estimate — confirming price… with a rough figure beside it. That row is never a price you will be charged; the settled rows replace it a moment later.
Under the buttons, the card states the contract: The server prices every order. You are charged exactly what this summary shows.
What each line of the Order summary means
The card renders only the rows that apply, in this order:
| Row | What it is |
|---|---|
Service name with <quantity> <unit> | What you are buying, restated |
| Base | The list price for that quantity before add-ons and before any discount |
| Priority delivery | The priority add-on, +15% on the list price. Shown only when the toggle is on |
| Refill guarantee | The guarantee add-on, +8% for a 30-day window. Shown only when the toggle is on — and the toggle is only offered when your plan does not already include a window that long, so Elite, Master and Ultimate never see this row |
| the discount label | Your discounts, as a negative amount. The label spells out the stack — for example tier 8% + volume 6% → capped 15% |
| Total | What you will be charged, in bold, above a rule |
| Paid from boost credit | How much of the total your boost credit will cover, as a negative amount. Shown only when you hold credit |
| Boost credit earned | Credit granted back on this order, when your discounts overflowed the 15% cap. Shown only when there is any |
The summary shows the Total, then how much of it comes out of boost credit. Whatever is left is taken from wallet cash — that remainder has no row of its own. Subtract the credit line from the total to see what your wallet will pay.
If your account has a negotiated wholesale rate and it beats your normal ladder price on this line, the server uses it — and the summary shows no sign of that. There is no "wholesale" badge and no note. The Total is lower, and that is the only signal. See Pricing and discounts.
Applying a coupon
The coupon is quoted before it is committed. Typing a code does nothing on its own.
- Type the code into the Coupon field in the composer.
- Press Apply. The server re-prices the whole line with the code attached.
- On success the message reads Applied: followed by the discount label (or Coupon applied. where the server sends no label), and the summary repaints with the coupon included.
- On refusal the code is discarded and the message names the exact reason.
The code is only carried into the order once a quote has accepted it. Clearing the field and pressing Apply again removes it.
| Refusal | What it means |
|---|---|
| That coupon code isn't valid. | No such code, or it has been disabled |
| That coupon isn't active yet. | Its start date is in the future |
| That coupon has expired. | Its end date has passed |
| That coupon has been fully redeemed. | Its total redemption count is used up |
That coupon only applies to <Platform> boosts. | It is restricted to one platform |
| That coupon needs an order of at least $X. | Your subtotal is below its minimum |
| You've already used that coupon. | You are at its per-account limit |
| That coupon is for a first order only. | You have placed a boost order before |
| You've tried a lot of different coupon codes. Try again in an hour. | You have tried 12 different codes in the last hour. Codes you already tried keep working, and the offers the checkout shows you never count |
A code with one redemption left can pass your quote and still be gone by the time you press Launch boost. When that happens the entire order rolls back with That coupon has been fully redeemed. — nothing is charged and no order is created. Place it again without the code.
Quoting a cart
The Cart page does not quote. Each line shows a client-side estimate — the catalogue's per-1,000 rate multiplied by the quantity — and nothing else.
There is no batch summary, no combined subtotal, no discount line and no credit-and-cash split anywhere on the Cart page. Every line is priced by the server at the moment it is placed, but you never see a combined figure before you commit. If the exact total matters, price each line in the composer's Order summary first, then add them up yourself.
What the quote will not tell you
- Your included guarantee, as a priced line. When your plan already includes a window of 30 days or more, the composer does not offer the toggle and the quote carries no Refill guarantee row — there is nothing to price, because the window is free. The composer's own options list says so in the toggle's place: Included · 30-day refill guarantee, with your plan's number. See Placing an order.
- A delivery estimate. The only completion estimate anywhere in the composer sits inside the optional Projection card, which appears only when we already hold history for one of your channels.
If something goes wrong
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The card sticks on Estimate — confirming price… | The quote request has not come back | Wait a moment; it retries as soon as you change a field |
| Couldn't price that just now. | The quote call failed | Change the quantity by one and back to re-fire it. If it persists, the service may have become unpriceable |
| That service is temporarily unavailable | The provider's rate or exchange rate cannot be read right now | Pick a different service; this one cannot be sold until it clears |
| Please sign in to continue. | Your session ended while the page was open | Sign in again |
| The quote stops updating after many rapid changes | You have hit the quoting rate limit — 120 quotes per minute | Pause for a minute |
| The Total is higher than the public list price | An add-on is on. Priority delivery adds 15%, and Refill guarantee adds 8% unless your plan already includes a window that long, in which case it is priced at zero | Turn off what you do not need. On Elite, Master and Ultimate the guarantee toggle is not shown at all, so any surplus there is priority delivery |
