Run Your Ads When Your Audience Is Actually Online
Stop burning budget at 3 AM when nobody is buying. Schedule your ads to run during peak conversion windows, pause during dead hours, and launch campaigns at the exact moment you choose, down to the minute.

Your ads run 24/7 but your customers only buy during certain hours
Most advertisers let their ads run around the clock with even budget distribution. But your audience does not convert evenly throughout the day. E-commerce purchases spike in the evening. B2B leads come in during business hours. Weekend patterns differ from weekdays. Without dayparting, you waste 30-40% of your daily budget on hours when your audience is asleep, at work, or simply not in buying mode. Meta's built-in scheduling is limited to ad set start and end dates, there is no native way to pause ads during specific hours or days.
How It Works
Ad Scheduling & Dayparting in 4 simple steps.
Analyze Your Peak Hours
Adship pulls your historical performance data and shows you exactly when conversions, clicks, and engagement peak. See heatmaps broken down by hour and day of week.
Set Your Schedule
Choose which hours and days your ads should run. Use the visual schedule builder to drag across time blocks or apply preset templates like "Business Hours" or "Evening + Weekend."
Configure Budget Allocation
Optionally weight your budget toward peak hours. Spend 60% of your daily budget during your top 4 hours and spread the remaining 40% across other active periods.
Launch and Monitor
Your ads automatically activate and deactivate based on your schedule. Track hourly performance in the dashboard and refine your time windows based on real data.
