Our verdict on each
Moss
Moss suits European finance publishers who can drive a signup rather than build a long tail of small conversions. It pays a cost per action of €1,000 for a referred customer, runs on Impact, and pays out monthly, so the earnings model is a single large hit per conversion.
Oxylabs
Oxylabs suits publishers who can land a few high value buyers rather than a long tail of small accounts. The programme pays 50% per sale up to $2000 on a cpa model, so a single conversion carries the month and lead volume is not the lever that matters here.

Pros and cons
Moss
Pros
- A flat €1,000 per customer is a much bigger headline number than Admitad's 5% per sale.
- Cash arrives on monthly payouts, which suits a publisher who wants a regular payday rather than a yearly settlement.
- Moss offers direct and referral in europe, so a European publisher can run either a tracked programme or a simple referral.
Cons
- Recurring commission is no, so a customer you refer earns nothing in later years and the work has to start again each time.
- The 30 day window ranks 39 out of 129 programmes on the site and sits under the 60 day upper end.
- Moss runs in europe only, so publishers whose traffic sits outside that market have nothing to promote.
Oxylabs
Pros
- Terms of 50% per sale up to $2000 put a hard ceiling on a sale, so a small number of conversions can carry a full cycle.
- A cpa payout at 50% is easier to model than Up to 100% first-year sales from the monday affiliate programme.
- The programme runs on HasOffers (TUNE), so tracking and payouts sit with a network publishers already use.
Cons
- Recurring commission is no, so a sale pays once: 25-30% recurring for 12 months at Jasper and 25% to 35% recurring for 12 months at FirstPromoter keep paying on the same account.
- Support runs on email only, so tracking questions travel by email between campaigns.
- Commission under the $25 threshold waits for a cycle to close, so cash flow matters more here than on a lower bar programme.
Who each suits
Moss
Who it suits
- European finance publishers with a signup focused audience, since Moss pays on a cost per action and offers direct and referral.
- Publishers who prefer a single large payment to a percentage cut, given €1,000 per customer.
- Publishers happy to handle tracking through a single network, since Moss runs on Impact and pays monthly payouts.
Who should look elsewhere
- Publishers who want a percentage on every sale: Admitad pays 5% per sale.
- Publishers who want payment for leads as well as signups: Mintos pays Hybrid lead and CPA commission.
- Publishers who want an extra payment after the registration: Qonto pays CPA per registration plus KYB bonus.
Oxylabs
Who it suits
- Publishers with technical or developer audiences, since the verticals are security and hosting.
- Networks and media buyers already inside HasOffers (TUNE), which is the listed payout route.
- Anyone modelling earnings on a single conversion, because 50% per sale up to $2000 makes a capped per sale payment the whole calculation.
Who should look elsewhere
- Publishers chasing recurring revenue, who earn more from 25-30% recurring for 12 months at Jasper or 25% to 35% recurring for 12 months at FirstPromoter.
- Publishers who need live chat or phone answers, since support runs on email.
- Publishers spreading effort across many small accounts, since 50% per sale up to $2000 rewards fewer, larger conversions.
Questions about each
Moss
How much does Moss pay per referred customer?+
Moss pays a cost per action: €1,000 for each customer you refer, with the full terms set out as €1,000 per customer, 20% off year one. The money is tied to a completed customer rather than a click or a lead, so a referral that never signs up pays nothing. The pace of real signups is the only lever you control.
How long is the Moss cookie window?+
The Moss window runs 30 days, which sits at the median of 30 days across the programmes tracked and well below the 60 day upper end. Someone who clicks and signs up after the window closes falls outside it, so place the link close to the sign-up step.
Oxylabs
What commission does the Oxylabs affiliate programme pay?+
Oxylabs pays 50% per sale up to $2000, at a commission rate of 50% on a cpa model, with the cap on a sale set at $2,000. A publisher is better served aiming a small number of high value subscriptions rather than chasing many small accounts, because the payment per conversion is what carries a month's earnings.
Is the Oxylabs programme recurring?+
Recurring commission is no, so a conversion pays once and that account contributes nothing after the first sale. Jasper at 25-30% recurring for 12 months and FirstPromoter at 25% to 35% recurring for 12 months both keep paying over the following year, which matters if the subscribers you send stick around.
