Our verdict on each
Kinguin
Kinguin suits gaming publishers who sell one-off orders and want a named company to pay them. It pays Up to 10% per sale on a cps model, with payouts Weekly on request once a balance clears €30, so the reward is quick volume rather than long-tail recurring income.
Monday.com Affiliate
The monday affiliate programme is the strongest earner in this group, suited to publishers selling project management software to new teams rather than to anyone chasing repeat payments. It pays 100% of first year sales on a 90 window, and payouts run Monthly through PayPal and Stripe.

Pros and cons
Kinguin
Pros
- The programme is listed as direct and runs through Awin and CJ Affiliate, so approval and reporting happen where publishers already work.
- Payouts clear at €30 and go out by PayPal and bank transfer, mainstream rails that need little setup.
- Coverage is global, so one account reaches players well past a single market.
Cons
- There is no recurring commission, so a player's second purchase is worth nothing unless the referral is repeated.
- The rate tops out at Up to 10% per sale, a long way below the recurring terms at 25% to 35% recurring for 12 months.
- Support runs on chat and help centre only, so a publisher who needs a voice call has no listed route.
Monday.com Affiliate
Pros
- A 100% commission rate on first year sales, well above the 25% to 35% recurring for 12 months that Jasper and FirstPromoter list.
- A 90 window, longer than the 30 most software programmes run.
- Payouts run Monthly, so a small referral can still reach the threshold in a reasonable stretch.
Cons
- Recurring commission is no, so a subscriber who renews pays nothing further, unlike the 25-30% recurring for 12 months at Jasper.
- The Up to 100% first-year sales is a first year rate, so a subscriber who stays past year one stops earning.
- Support runs on chat and help centre only, with none of the phone line that 26.9% share of the group offer.
Who each suits
Kinguin
Who it suits
- Gaming publishers with steady referred order volume who can keep producing fresh referrals
- Publishers already approved on Awin and CJ Affiliate who want the same networks for a gaming offer
- Sites with an international audience, since coverage is global
Who should look elsewhere
- Publishers chasing recurring income: FirstPromoter pays 25% to 35% recurring for 12 months.
- Anyone after a large first-year rate on a subscription product: the monday affiliate programme pays Up to 100% first-year sales.
- Publishers selling AI tooling and wanting repeat commissions: Jasper pays 25-30% recurring for 12 months.
Monday.com Affiliate
Who it suits
- Publishers whose audience buys project management tooling for the first time, where the first year is the whole prize.
- Software review sites that can earn on a 90 window while a reader compares several work management tools.
- Anyone already working inside PartnerStack who wants one more software offer in the same dashboard.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone building a subscription renewal income, because recurring commission is no where FirstPromoter offers 25% to 35% recurring for 12 months.
- Publishers chasing a large one off payment per lead, where Crazy Domains NZ lists Up to $400 per sale on a domain sale.
Questions about each
Kinguin
How much does Kinguin pay per sale?+
Commission is Up to 10% per sale, paid on a cps basis, so a completed order earns once and stops there. The rate is a percentage of the sale, which means order value drives earnings. Order value, not traffic volume on its own, is what moves the number.
Is the commission recurring?+
Recurring commission is not part of the deal, so every sale has to be a fresh referral. Players who keep buying generate nothing for a publisher unless they are sent again. For a steadier earn, FirstPromoter lists 25% to 35% recurring for 12 months, which pays on repeat purchases too.
Monday.com Affiliate
How much does the monday affiliate programme pay?+
The rate is 100%, published as Up to 100% first-year sales. That is a share of first year sales rather than a flat fee per lead, so the amount depends on the plan the referred subscriber picks and how long they stay in that first year. The model is cost per sale, and the programme is built around referrals.
How long do I have to convert a referral?+
The referral window is 90 from the initial click, which is longer than the 30 median in this software group. A reader who clicks, leaves to compare work management tools and comes back weeks later is still inside the window, which is the main practical advantage here for review style content.
