Our verdict on each
AdPick
AdPick is a Korean retail affiliate network built on one model, a share of sale revenue for publishers who can send shopping traffic. It suits publishers chasing a short payout cycle, though a minimum payout of KRW 50,000 means smaller sites wait longer for a first transfer.
Hotmart
Hotmart pays publishers a share of each sale worth up to 80% on a cps basis, and it suits affiliates selling retail offers in global markets. Payout access sets the pace: withdrawals open at $50 and commission is released 30 days after sale, so steady volume matters more than a single conversion.

Pros and cons
AdPick
Pros
- Payouts run weekly on Thursday, which keeps the gap between a confirmed sale and a transfer short.
- Tracking is real-time conversion reporting, so publishers can see which links convert before the next payout.
- Earnings follow Share of sale revenue, which rewards a well converting audience rather than raw clicks.
Cons
- A minimum payout of KRW 50,000 is a high bar for a new site testing the programme.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community, so a phone only problem has no route.
- Only retail is covered, so publishers in other verticals have no programme to promote.
Hotmart
Pros
- A 200,000 publisher base puts Hotmart above the 30,000 median for this group, so offers meet real traffic.
- Sales are tracked through a unique link, so a conversion credit stays with the link that produced it.
- Hotmart B.V. has run since 2011, so the platform is a long-standing operation rather than a recent setup.
Cons
- Support runs on help centre only, so a stuck payout has one documented channel to try.
- Commission is released 30 days after sale and withdrawals open at $50, so cash arrives well after the sale.
- The vertical mix lists retail, a narrow base for anyone promoting outside that sector.
Who each suits
AdPick
Who it suits
- Publishers whose traffic already fits retail offers.
- Sites with enough monthly commission to clear the KRW 50,000 threshold.
- Anyone comfortable with one commission model, revshare.
Who should look elsewhere
- Publishers who want a choice of models, since Admitad runs cpa, cpl and cps.
- Casual dating publishers, who can look at AWEmpire instead for PPL, PPLR and PPS.
- Publishers wanting a single per action price, since A8.net lists cpa.
Hotmart
Who it suits
- Publishers already selling retail offers who prefer payment per sale over per-lead.
- Anyone running a link-based audience, since sales are tracked through a unique link per publisher.
- Publishers building a balance toward $50 who are comfortable with a fixed payment delay.
Who should look elsewhere
- Publishers who want lead or revenue share options, since Admitad runs cpa, cpl and cps.
- Casual dating publishers, since AWEmpire (LiveJasmin family, casual-dating tier) pays on PPL, PPLR and PPS.
- Publishers wanting a much wider network, since A8.net lists 3,726,707 against 200,000 here.

Questions about each
AdPick
What commission does AdPick pay?+
AdPick pays Share of sale revenue under a cps structure, and revshare is the only model listed. There is no fixed per lead or per action price, so earnings rise with the value of the sale you send rather than with the number of signups.
How much do I need before AdPick pays out?+
The minimum payout is KRW 50,000, and payouts run weekly on Thursday. A new site with light commission can sit under that threshold for a while, so the first transfer is the slowest one and clearing it sooner depends on traffic volume rather than on the rate.
Hotmart
How much commission can I earn on Hotmart?+
Commission terms reach up to 80% of a sale, and the models listed are cpa and cps. The share itself is set per programme, so treat that figure as the ceiling publishers can be offered rather than a fixed rate for every offer.
How much do I need in the balance before Hotmart pays out?+
Withdrawals open once your balance reaches $50. That floor ranks 39 in this comparison, so a publisher testing a single programme has to build past it before seeing a first payment, which is worth weighing before signing up for low-ticket offers.
