10 Best Alternatives to Peerfly

This post may contain affiliate links. For more info, visit the disclosure page.

About three days ago, I found a great offer on the Peerfly CPA network that I was going to develop a campaign around. It was an offer for Postmates that paid $24 CPA that was a great match for this website.

On Monday night, I got an unexpected email saying that Peerfly was shutting down after 11 years of service.

What!?

The reason for them closing was mentioned in the email from CEO Chad French:

Why is PeerFly closing?

Affiliate marketing is alive and well. However, the particular model that PeerFly was built on no longer represents the most efficient or cost-effective method for generating new sales and leads for advertisers. Over the years, many advancements in online marketing have created new low barriers of entry for businesses who want to control their marketing internally. Platforms like Facebook have dominated the ability to precisely target an audience and have made it incredibly easy to scale. Combined with a great economy, where businesses are okay risking marketing dollars to find the right audience, the model of the “Affiliate Network” is one that doesn’t work nearly as well in 2019 as it did just 5 years earlier.

Yesterday morning, I got more emails from other lists that I was subscribed to confirming the news. Luckily, Peerfly was not a top source of income for me but for others this might be some devastating news.

Peerfly promised to pay all affiliates by July 31st, 2019 just before they ceased operations. I have no doubt that they will wrap everything up well with affiliates because this was one of the best CPA networks around.

If you’re in the situation where your earnings are going to be affected, then you may be looking for similar networks with the same offers. Here are 10 great CPA networks you can try if you’re looking for a Peerfly alternative.

1. Maxbounty

MaxBounty has been around for as long as I’ve been doing affiliate marketing. They got started in 2004, a year before I started looking into affiliate marketing.

They’re definitely one of the best CPA networks around as they’ve received numerous awards and was voted Blue Book’s #1 CPA network by advertisers in 2019.

As an affiliate, you can look forward to choosing from over 2000 active campaigns, weekly payments including performance bonuses and affiliate managers who are committed to seeing you succeed.

2. Clickbooth

Another quality CPA network that has been getting awards is Clickbooth who was voted the Publisher’s choice for Best CPA Network on Blue Book in 2019. The network also copped the award for Best CPA Network overall for the 3rd straight year.

If publishers (affiliates) have such high regard for Clickbooth then this is one Peerfly alternative that you should definitely give a chance if you aren’t already registered.

As an affiliate, your affiliate manager will provide you with insights and best practices for promoting their offers and they’re known for their friendliness, even attending client weddings. It’s no wonder publishers love Clickbooth.

Weekly payments are guaranteed and they claim to have never missed a payment in their 15+ years of business.

3. W4

4. Above All Offers

Gamefly, QuiBids, Bills.com and Insurance Finders are just some examples of the advertisers you can work with on The Affiliati Network, a CPA network based in Miami.

This network has mostly glowing reviews by publishers as they seem to love the experience and the offers. You can get paid via check, PayPal or wire once you’ve reached the $100 threshold but you have to be with the network for a period of time before you qualify for weekly payments.

You can also refer other affiliates to The Affiliati Network and get paid a 2% commission.

9. Monster Ads

This Puerto Rico-based CPA network was formerly known as Society Invite which mostly had dating and adult offers but rebranded after they took on non-dating verticals and moved away from their invite-only referral style.

Advertisers and publishers alike seem to love MonsterAds for it’s mutually beneficial quality.

Affiliates are paid weekly via wire, PayPal, check or Payoneer, as long as they reach the $500 threshold or monthly for anything under $500.

10. CPA Lead

Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Starbucks, EA Sports and Samsung all use CPALead to access publisher traffic. The network specializes in lead generation from CPA offers, PPC advertising and CPI mobile app installs. The network has been around since 2007 and has paid out over $100 million to affiliates worldwide.

For affiliates, there are seven options for getting paid including Payoneer and Bitcoin and everyone gets paid weekly. CPALead has over 300,000 members from 180 countries with access to just over 200 unique and exclusive offers.


CPA networks are notoriously tougher to get approval from than regular affiliate networks because they want to provide advertisers with affiliates who will deliver them traffic with high conversions.

Some CPA networks like Mobidea have a more open-door policy and accept anyone because in this case, they can train you to be successful although they still can’t make you take action. If you’re not going to actively promote offers on a CPA network, it’s probably best to not apply until you’re ready to do so.

Peerfly shutting down so suddenly could mean than they probably weren’t doing something right or if the reason they’re giving is legit then it may spell danger for a lot of other CPA networks. Or maybe these networks are adapting to the changing landscape and new innovations in marketing which is how they can survive.

Whatever it may be though, as affiliates, all we can do is promote offers from multiple networks and build a long term business with evergreen offers that help people.
