Where ViralPayouts comes out ahead of FlexOffers

Affiliate network · G2 3.9 (7 reviews) · Trustpilot 2.5 (7 reviews)

Why ViralPayouts is the better choice

Brands set their own recruiter override per program; FlexCash is a fixed network-funded 5% for publishers
Transparent brand fee (10% falling to 3% of partner payouts) versus unpublished advertiser pricing
No per-payment processing fees charged to partners; payouts via Whop
Direct brand-to-partner programs rather than relayed offers from other networks, so payout does not depend on an upstream network paying first
