Reddit Audience Reach and Delivery Estimates
Updated
Reddit Audience Reach and Delivery Estimates help you evaluate the potential audience and projected delivery of a Reddit ad set before publishing it.
Sprinklr retrieves forecasting data from Reddit based on your targeting, optimization, bidding, budget, and schedule configuration. This helps you assess expected audience size and delivery outcomes while creating or editing Reddit ad sets.
The estimate experience is available in:
Ads Composer
Audience Creation Flow
Ads Manager third pane
Sprinklr supports audience and delivery estimates across these Reddit workflows.
How Reddit estimates work
Sprinklr uses Reddit's forecasting endpoint to retrieve audience and delivery estimates based on the current ad set configuration.
Sprinklr refreshes estimates when supported forecast-driving settings change, including:
Targeting selections
Placements
Campaign objective and optimization settings
Bid type or bid strategy
Budget and schedule settings
Estimate retrieval occurs in the background and does not block ad creation, editing, saving, or publishing workflows. Sprinklr may debounce rapid changes to reduce unnecessary API requests.
Audience size
The audience size estimate represents the approximate number of Reddit users eligible to see your ad based on the selected targeting and placements.
Audience size estimates:
May change over time.
Reflect a 30-day window or the ad group schedule when the schedule is shorter.
Do not reflect ad inventory types.
May include both logged-in and non-logged-in users who are eligible to see the ad.
Delivery estimates
Reddit can return multiple delivery metrics in a single forecasting response. Sprinklr displays the delivery metric that aligns with the selected objective and optimization goal rather than displaying every returned metric.
Objective or optimization setup | Delivery metric shown |
Brand Awareness or Traffic with clicks optimization | Clicks |
Video Views optimization goal | Video Views |
Conversion-led goals other than clicks or video views | Conversions |
Reach-led optimization | Reach |
Reach-led optimization when Reach is unavailable | Impressions (fallback) |
Setup where the mapped metric is unavailable | Delivery estimate unavailable |
If Reddit does not return the applicable delivery metric, Sprinklr displays audience size when available and does not display a delivery estimate.
Note: For Campaign Budget Optimization (CBO) campaigns, Sprinklr displays audience size estimates but does not display delivery estimates

An incomplete or unavailable estimate does not prevent you from editing, saving, or publishing the ad set.
Estimate periods
Reddit returns delivery estimates as weekly values. Sprinklr supports the following estimate periods.
Period | Calculation |
7 Days | Uses the weekly values returned by Reddit |
1 Day | Divides the weekly values by seven |
Weekly estimates do not represent the total projected delivery for campaigns that run longer than seven days. Reddit calculates forecasts using campaign flight dates and budget but returns delivery metrics as weekly estimates.
