Our verdict on each
Maxda
Maxda pays 20 EUR per registration for each cpl lead in a lending niche, with a 90 window, so publishers chasing a flat fee per registration have little to track. It runs through a single network in a single market, which leaves readers wanting hybrid terms looking at Mintos or Qonto instead.
Round Sky
Round Sky suits publishers with a North American lending audience: the listed commission is Up to $250 per lead, with revenue share at 90% and recurring commission on top. Payouts run weekly or monthly from a $50 threshold, but the mix stays in lending within north america, so broader publishers should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons
Maxda
Pros
- A flat 20 EUR per registration per cpl lead makes monthly earnings easy to forecast from registration volume.
- The 90 window runs well past the finance median of 30, so a reader who compares before applying still converts.
- Ranked 12 of 129 on cookie window, the attribution window is the main reason to test the offer.
Cons
- Recurring commission is a no, so a borrower who stays with Maxda adds nothing after the initial payout.
- The offer sits in a single market per single country, so a multi market publisher earns nothing from the rest of its traffic.
- Every accepted lead is worth the same 20 EUR per registration, so a strong converting lending page has no way to earn more per referral.
Round Sky
Pros
- High headline payouts: the listed commission is Up to $250 per lead, with revenue share at 90% available on cpa and revshare.
- Recurring commission is on, so earnings can continue after a borrower is approved rather than stopping at the first sale.
- Tracking suits affiliate sites that need detail: dual-level sub-ids, custom pixels and real-time reporting.
Cons
- Access is direct only, so a publisher wanting a network feed has fewer accounts to compare than at Admitad, where cpa, cpl and cps sit behind one contract.
- The offer set is lending within north america, which leaves European or Asia-Pacific traffic without a matching campaign.
- The model list stops at cpa, revshare and cpc, and the AWEmpire casual-dating tier carries PPL, PPLR and PPS that include pay-per-lead and pay-per-sale lines.
Who each suits
Maxda
Who it suits
- Lending publishers in Maxda's market who can drive registrations rather than raw clicks.
- Sites with a long consideration cycle, since the window runs 90.
- Anyone already approved on Adklick who wants a credit offer added to the same reporting.
Who should look elsewhere
- Publishers chasing revenue share, since Admitad pays 5% per sale and moves with sales.
- Anyone wanting a registration bonus on top, as Qonto offers with CPA per registration plus KYB bonus.
Round Sky
Who it suits
- Publishers whose audience is North American and lending-led, since the programme covers lending in north america.
- Anyone paid per lead or on revenue share, because cpa, revshare and cpc covers both and recurring commission is on.
- Lenders' own affiliates who want one direct agreement: direct access with support on email and phone.
Who should look elsewhere
- Publishers who need pay-per-lead or pay-per-sale lines, because the AWEmpire casual-dating tier runs PPL, PPLR and PPS and Round Sky's cpa, revshare and cpc stops short of them.
- Anyone with European or Asia-Pacific traffic, because the listed region is north america, and a broader network such as Admitad with cpa, cpl and cps fits mixed international audiences better.
- Publishers who need a small first cheque, because $50 sits above the €43.85 common across the site.

Questions about each
Maxda
How much does Maxda pay for a referral?+
Maxda pays 20 EUR per registration, a fixed amount per registration rather than a share of a loan. The structure is a cpl programme, so the fee attaches to the signup itself and does not move with loan size or term. Nothing in the listed terms scales with what the borrower later borrows.
How long is the Maxda cookie window?+
The window runs 90 from the click, which puts Maxda at 12 of 129 brands ranked on that measure. The finance group median is 30 and the lending median is 90, so the window sits at the longer end for both. A reader who takes days to compare still converts.
Round Sky
How much can I earn per lead?+
Round Sky's listed commission is Up to $250 per lead, and the programme runs on cpa and revshare with revenue share at 90% on top. That headline figure is a ceiling rather than a promise, so what you actually earn depends on lead quality, approval rates and which offers you place. Recurring commission also means an approved borrower can keep paying out.
When will I actually be paid?+
Round Sky pays weekly or monthly, and the balance must reach $50 before funds are released. That threshold is a little above the €43.85 seen across programmes here, so plan for steady lead flow rather than a single burst of traffic.
