Monetag Alternatives and How Much Monetag Pays

What are the best Monetag alternatives?

First in our list is Moonetix, which we make. It is a different kind of option: an affiliate network whose offerwall runs next to your ads for logged-in users, who complete offers and earn your own points or currency. It is not a popunder or banner network, and it does not fit sites without user accounts. Among ad networks, the closest Monetag alternatives are Adsterra, HilltopAds and Clickadu, which sell the same kind of popunder, in-page push and direct link formats with low payout thresholds ($5 at Adsterra via Paxum, $20 at HilltopAds, from $50 at Clickadu). If you want cleaner ads, Google AdSense, Media.net and, for large sites, Ezoic are the usual step up. For Telegram Mini Apps, Adsgram is the main like-for-like option, and if your users log in, an offerwall can pay you per completed offer next to any of them.

As for how much Monetag pays: its help center says publishers receive a share of what advertisers pay, up to 80%, shown as CPM, and that there is no fixed CPM per country. Everything below comes from each company’s own pages, checked on November 11, 2026.

What Monetag is

Monetag is the publisher platform of Propeller Ads Ltd, the company behind PropellerAds (the PropellerAds publisher page redirects to it, as our PropellerAds alternatives guide explains). Its homepage describes it as a platform that monetizes website, social, Telegram Mini App and APK traffic.

Monetag’s help center lists these web formats:

• OnClick (Popunder): an advertiser page that opens in a new tab or window.
• Push Notifications: ads sent to visitors who accept a browser notification prompt.
• In-Page Push: a notification-style ad inside your page, no permission needed.
• Vignette Banner: a banner shown in the center of the page while the user browses.
• Direct link (SmartLink): one link that rotates offers based on the visitor; the homepage calls it ideal for social traffic and APKs.
• MultiTag: one tag that bundles Onclick, Push, In-Page Push and Vignette Banner.

For Telegram Mini Apps, the Monetag SDK docs list Rewarded Interstitial, Rewarded Popup and In-App Interstitial.

Entry is open but not unconditional. The homepage FAQ says there is no strict minimum traffic, but sites need real organic traffic and original content, adult and illegal content is not approved, incentivized clicks and bot traffic lead to suspension, and free hosted platforms such as blogspot.com and wordpress.com are not supported. The help center also lists countries publishers cannot register from, including Russia, Iran and Myanmar.

How much does Monetag pay?

Monetag does not publish a rate card. Its help article How much revenue will I generate? says you receive a share of what advertisers pay, up to 80% depending on traffic quality, ad formats and your terms, shown in your account as CPM. A separate article on average CPM by country says there is no fixed CPM per country and that two sites with the same traffic from the same country can earn very differently.

The one published figure we found is for Mini Apps: the Monetag SDK docs say the average CPM for Rewarded Interstitial starts at $2, depending on country, device, placement and ad frequency. Treat any CPM screenshot from a forum as one site’s result, not a forecast for yours.

Monetag payout methods and minimums

From Monetag’s help center articles on minimum payout and payment methods (checked on November 11, 2026):

Available methods depend on your country, and some need KYC verification.

When Monetag pays

This is where Monetag’s own pages disagree. The homepage advertises weekly payouts, while the help article Getting Paid by Monetag: Payout Schedules Explained says:

• New accounts start on a monthly Net30 schedule with a hold month, during which traffic is reviewed, and are paid between the 1st and 10th of the following month.
• You can switch to twice-monthly payouts, on the 4th and 19th, with a 4-day hold.
• Weekly payouts, every Thursday with a 4-day hold, are for Silver, Gold and Platinum levels of the Priority Program, which the help center ties to more than $280 paid to you in the last 14 days.
• Your first payout becomes available two weeks after you start sending traffic.

Monetag’s publisher terms, last updated August 14, 2026, use different wording again (for example, Net 35 for some payouts and a $1,000 wire minimum). Go by what your Payments settings show.

A Monetag earnings calculator you can do by hand

Because CPM is dynamic, any Monetag earning calculator is only as good as the eCPM you put into it. The math is the same as for any CPM network:

• Ad impressions = page views x ads per page view x fill rate
• Revenue = ad impressions / 1,000 x eCPM
• Page RPM = revenue / page views x 1,000

Popunders are usually capped per visitor, so “ads per page view” is often below 1 for that format. Use the averages from your own stats after a week or two of traffic.

The biggest lever is your audience’s country and device, which is why highest CPM countries matters more than which network you pick. eCPM vs RPM explains why you should compare networks on page RPM.

The alternatives, one by one

An offerwall, for users who log in

Every network below pays per impression or click on visitors you may never see again. If your users have accounts, such as players of a web game, members of a forum or users of a Telegram bot, an offerwall lets them complete offers (try an app, finish a game level, answer a survey) for your points or currency, and you earn per completed offer. Moonetix is an affiliate network that works this way. It does not replace ads for anonymous one-time visitors, because there is no account to credit.

Adsterra

Adsterra’s publisher page lists Popunder, Social Bar (In-Page Push and Interstitials), Native Banners, Banners and Smartlink, says there are no traffic or other limits to start, and offers anti-adblock on request. Its help center says payouts run twice a month (1st to 2nd and 16th to 17th) after a 2-week hold, from $5 via Paxum or WebMoney and $25 via PayPal. Our Monetag vs Adsterra comparison goes through the differences line by line, and Adsterra alternatives covers Adsterra on its own.

HilltopAds

The HilltopAds publisher page lists popunder, in-page, video (VAST or slider), banner and direct link formats, a $20 minimum and payouts every Tuesday on Net7, paid by methods including PayPal, Paxum, WebMoney, Wise, Bitcoin and USDT. You verify your site with a file or meta tag. It is the simplest swap if Monetag’s monthly default schedule is your problem.

Clickadu

The Clickadu publisher page lists banner, popunder, instant text message, in-page push, video pre-roll and SKIM formats. Its minimum starts from $50, and payouts can be weekly (Tuesdays), twice a month (7th and 22nd) or monthly by agreement. The higher threshold makes it a better fit for sites that already earn steadily.

Google AdSense

AdSense needs an owner aged 18 or older (or a parent or guardian account) and high-quality, original content, per Google’s eligibility requirements. Its ad placement policies say Google ads may not run on sites that contain or trigger pop-unders. Monetag’s own help center says the two can share a page, but warns about exactly that popunder rule. How much does AdSense pay? covers its earnings.

Ezoic and Media.net

Ezoic’s requirements article says new sites added after February 19, 2026 must meet a 250,000 traffic requirement, so it is out of reach for most Monetag publishers (see Ezoic alternatives). Media.net’s publisher page describes display, native and video demand and a fully managed Prebid header bidding platform, but does not list entry rules or payout terms, so ask before you plan around it.

Adsgram, for Telegram Mini Apps

If you use Monetag’s Mini App SDK, the like-for-like option is Adsgram. The Adsgram publisher docs list Reward, Interstitial and Task formats, paid per 1,000 impressions for the first two and per click for Task, in USDT. You can withdraw from 10 USDT between the 1st and 5th of each month. Adsgram alternatives compares the other Mini App networks.

How to choose

• You like the formats but not the payout terms: compare Adsterra, HilltopAds and Clickadu on the method you can actually receive and on how soon you get paid.
• Visitors complain or you want search traffic to grow: move toward AdSense or Media.net and expect lower earnings at first. Best ad networks for publishers lists more options.
• Most of your traffic is from lower-paying countries: read how to monetize tier 3 traffic before switching networks.
• You run a Mini App, game or community with accounts: keep one ad network for guests and add a rewarded option for members.

Test any switch on the same pages for at least two weeks and compare page RPM, not the CPM a network advertises.

How to add Moonetix to your site or app

If your users log in, you can run Moonetix next to Monetag or any alternative above.

1. Apply as a publisher at moonetix.com. Every application is reviewed by hand, and once you are approved, every app you add is live right away.
2. Add your site, bot or app in the dashboard and set the currency name, icon, conversion rate, user split and wall design.
3. Integrate: a signed offerwall link or iframe built on your server (website integration), a floating Earn button, the Offers API for your own wall, or the Android, iOS, Unity, Flutter or React Native SDK.
4. Credit users only from the signed postback on your server, and test with “Open as a test user” and “Send a test postback” in the app’s Integration tab (see Test your app before launch).

Honest limits: offers depend on each user’s country and device, users on VPNs, proxies, Tor or data center networks are blocked from the wall, and users must be at least 16. A download or link page with no accounts is not a fit.
