Checked October 2026. Every figure on this page comes from the programme’s own website or documentation, as we read it on 10 October 2026.

This page is about referral income: what you earn when someone you refer signs up and works with a network. If you are choosing a network to buy or sell traffic, see our ranking of adult traffic networks instead.
The comparison
| Programme | You refer | Commission | Duration | Paid as | Minimum payout | Payout methods | Schedule |

What actually differs
1. Who you are allowed to refer
This matters more than the percentage. CrakRevenue pays on affiliates who promote its offers. OnlyFans pays on new creators who sign up through your link [3]. JuicyAds pays on publishers, and only on referred publishers “who sell direct ad spots to advertisers” [4]. TrafficJunky is the only one here that rewards referring advertisers [5].
2. What the percentage is a percentage of
- CrakRevenue: 5% of the referred affiliate’s earnings [2].
- OnlyFans: 5% of the fan payments the referred creator generates, so at most US$50,000 on US$1 million or more in the first 12 months [3].
- JuicyAds: 20% of JuicyAds’ commission, not of the publisher’s revenue [4]. JuicyAds’ default commission is 25% [4], so on a $100 direct sale the referral share works out at 20% of $25, or $5, if the default rate applies.
- TrafficJunky: a share of the referred advertiser’s spend, set in your account and paid as credit [5].
- PopCash: 10%; the basis is not stated [6].
3. How long it lasts
CrakRevenue (“for life”) [1][2] and JuicyAds (“indefinitely, subject to change”) [4] are open-ended. OnlyFans pays for the referred creator’s first 12 months [3]. TrafficJunky pays only for a referral period [5]. PopCash doesn’t state a duration.
4. Eligibility and restrictions
- CrakRevenue: no self-referrals, no members of the same household, no multiple accounts, no spam [2]. Identity validation is required for affiliates [1].
- JuicyAds: no self-referral, payment to one account only; self-dealing leads to termination and a permanent ban [4].
- TrafficJunky: no self-referral, no referring existing users; TrafficJunky can decline a referral or end the programme at any time [5].
Programme notes
CrakRevenue
An affiliate (CPA) network, not an ad network. The referral link recruits affiliates, and you earn 5% of what they earn for as long as they work with CrakRevenue [1][2]. Payouts are in USD with a $100 minimum for MassPay, Paxum and PayPal, and $500 for Bitcoin and wire. Unpaid balances carry over to the next period [1].
OnlyFans
A creator referral programme: you earn 5% of the fan payments a referred new creator generates in the 12 months after they register, capped at US$50,000 per referred creator [3]. Payments that accrue in one calendar month are paid on or around the first day of the next [3]. OnlyFans can withhold referral payments or end a referred creator’s participation for breaches of its Terms of Service [3].
JuicyAds
The highest headline rate here, but on a narrow base: 20% of JuicyAds’ commission on referred publishers’ direct ad sales [4]. The terms describe the minimum withdrawal as “generally $25, but some payment methods have higher minimums” [4].
TrafficJunky
An advertiser referral programme paid in TJ Bonus Credits. The credits are not refundable or transferable and can only be spent on TrafficJunky [5]. It suits advertisers who already buy TrafficJunky inventory, not anyone looking for cash income.
PopCash
The publisher page advertises a “10% Referral Program” with no limits, daily payments and a $10 minimum withdrawal [6]. It does not say what the 10% is calculated on or for how long it is paid.
How to read this table
- A recurring percentage is only worth something if the people you refer actually earn. A referral who signs up and never sends traffic pays nothing.
- Check whether the programme fits your audience. A blog read by webmasters suits publisher programmes. An audience of media buyers suits advertiser programmes.
- Every number here is from October 2026. Programmes reserve the right to change terms, often without notice [4][5].
