As internet is growing fast, various new type of websites are coming everyday. Also, other platforms like YouTube, messengers, forums etc are getting more and more popular and they have huge amount of traffic. So, for newcomers traffic is not a big issue these days. They can get traffic from various other channels and therefore, newcomers are finding URL shorteners as one of the best ways to earn money online.
2019 is a year where URL shorteners are making lots of profit and therefore, more and more URL shorteners are coming in almost every second day.
As many URL shorteners are coming so it's hard to find the best one to use. However, if you have already found the two best URL shorteners of 2019, which are ClicksFly and Adfly. And, you are finding it difficult to choose the right one for you, so, in such case this article is going to help you.
In this article i am going to compare these two best URL shorteners on the basis of 10+ factors, so, by the end of this article you will be able to decide which one to use.
So, here are some factors which i am going to consider for comparing these two URL shorteners.
- Relibility
- Payout Rates
- Network Coverage
- Ad Types
- Minimum Payout
- Payment Frequency
- Payment Options
- Dashboard And Stats Reporting System
- Tools
- Support
- Additional Earning Opportunities
Reliability:
Reliability of any ad network is most important factor which every publisher should consider before joining any ad network. It saves your lots of time and money. If you do a little research about an ad network before joining it then you can save a lot of time and money.So, i have considered this factor as one of the most important factors for comparing these URL shorteners.
Adfly was started in 2009 and it emerged as a champion in this field. Still today no URL shortener is near about it in terms of reliability, Adfly has paid its users on time and every time. You can find tons of reviews and payment proofs about it. So, overall it is one of the most reliable network which is still standing tall and paying its users on time and therefore, i would like to give it a 5 out of 5 stars.
If i check ClicksFly on this factor then i would say, it is also a reliable URL shortener. Though it is not as old as Adfly as it was launched in 2018 but it is paying its users on time from the time of its start. Personally i have received a couple of payments from it and all of them were on time.
One thing i want to say here is, i have used both of these URL shorteners and received multiple payments from them so they both are genuine and paying URL shorteners.
But still as ClicksFly is new as compared to Adfly and people trust it less as compared to Adfly so i would like to give it a 4 out of 5 stars in terms of reliability.
Payout Rates:
I have personally compared the payout rates of both of these URL shorteners and i have always found ClicksFly better for myself. For others, Adfly may be better as it offers higher rates for some countries. So, it all depends on the country of your traffic from where it is coming.If i look the rates on an average so i would say ClicksFly offers better rates than Adfly and therefore, it deserves a 5 out of 5 stars whereas Adfly gets 4 out of 5 stars.
Two more things that i want to mention here are:
1. Both of these URL shorteners count raw traffic which means they count multiple views from the same visitor in 24 hours. This means you earn more money with these URL shorteners as compared to most of the other URL Shorteners.
ClicksFly counts 5+ views from the same visitor within 24 hours. Adfly also does count multiple views but it has not disclosed how much times. And, therefore again i find ClicksFly a better service in terms of payout rates.
2. These payout rates change on daily basis so it would be better for you to check them before joining any of the URL shorteners.
Network Coverage:
Both of these URL shorteners has a great network coverage. One has build its network by staying in the market for 10 years and the other one is taking advantage of Google's network.Actually both ClicksFly and Adfly can monetize 100% traffic of any country. You always get 100% fill rate on these URL shorteners. Adfly has tons of advertisers all over the world and therefore, it provides you best coverage in the industry.
ClicksFly depends on Google Ads aka Google Adsense Ads and therefore, it is also able to provide 100% fill rate. But as we all know Google has must stricter terms for publishers and therefore, it may happen that it can block ClicksFly from displaying its ads. For this reason i find Adfly better service than ClicksFly.
And, therefore to ClicksFly i would give a 4 out of 5 stars and Adfly a 5 out of 5 stars.
One thing that i want to add here, ClicksFly is continuously growing and it's direct advertisers base is also growing so you are not required to worry if you like this network. You can use it confidently. But, in case of comparison i find Adfly a better service than ClicksFly.
Ad Types:
If you compare these networks in terms of ad types then Adfly clearly wins here. Though both of these URL shorteners show ads on interstitial pages like any other URL shorteners but Adfly offers you something more than ordinary.It provides you banner ads, pop ads, full page interstitial ads and push ads. Whereas if you look at ClicksFly then it shows full page interstitial ads, pop ads and banner ads. But, most of the times on ClicksFly your links show banner based interstitial ads and there are not much options to select ad types in ClicksFly dashboard.
This is the reason why here i would give ClicksFly a 4 out of 5 stars whereas Adfly gets full 5 out of 5 stars.
Minimum payout:
In terms of minimum payout both of these URL shorteners are good as Adfly offers a $5 minimum payout limit whereas ClicksFly offers you $3 minimum payout limit. Though both have low minimum payout limits but you can clearly see here who wins the race. It's ClicksFly cleary and therefore, i give it a 5 out of 5 stars whereas Adfly gets 4 out of 5 stars.
Payment Frequency:
For payment frequency without any doubt i would say Adfly wins by a huge margin. Though Adfly has a different type of payment frequency but it is far better than ClicksFly. On Adfly first payment is made on monthly basis and after that all payments are made on demand, that is, on daily basis.Whereas, on ClicksFly you get payment on monthly basis. It allows you to request your withdrawals till the 23rd of every month and after that it process all payments within 25th to 30th of every month.
So, you can clearly see here which one wins the race and therefore, here Adfly gets a 5 out of 5 marks whereas ClicksFly gets 3 out of 5 marks.
Payment Options:
If you compare these two URL shorteners in terms of payment options then ClicksFly clearly wins here. It offers lots of payment options as compared to only two by Adfly.ClicksFly offers you PayPal, Payoneer, Payeer, Bitcoin, Paytm (India), UPI (India), Bank Transfer and MobiCash/JazzCash (Pakistan).
On Adfly you get PayPal and Payoneer only.
So, if you are tiered of PayPal and Payoneer then you can get some new payment options on ClicksFly.
Being an Indian i would recommend every Indian publisher to use ClicksFly as its rates for India are better than Adfly and it provides various payment options for Indian.
As it directly pays through UPI in India, so, you save the PayPal and Payoneer's high fees plus you save the exchange rate charges which PayPal and Payoneer eat up.
So, from the payment options you can clearly see that ClicksFly wins here. However, Adfly provides only international payment options which is also a good thing. So, for payment options i would give ClicksFly a 5 out of 5 statrs whereas Adfly gets a 4 out of 5 stars.
Dashboard And Stats Reporting System:
Both of these URL shorteners use a very well developed script which are developed for providing a great user experience. In this case i would say both URL shorteners get a tie. Adfly is better in terms of tools whereas ClicksFly is better in terms of stats reporting as it displays stats in real time whereas Adfly shows stats with one hour delay.So, overall i like both of these platforms and therefore they both get a combined 5 out of 5 stars.
Tools:
In terms of tools Adfly clearly wins from ClicksFly. Actually there are only very few URL shorteners which offer more tools than Adfly. However, ClicksFly offers all common modern tools that you get on most of the URL shortners. So, in terms of tools Afly gets a 5 out of 5 stars whereas ClicksFly gets 4 out of 5 stars.Tools offered by Adfly are Mass Shrinker, Multiple Links, Easy Links, Bookmarklet, API Documentation, Web Analytics, Full Page Script, Website Entry Script, Mobile App, Plugins, Domains and Export links and Stats.
Tools offered by ClicksFly are Mass Shrinker, Full Page Script, Developers API, Book Marklet and Quick Link.
Support:
Both Adfly and ClicksFly offers a dedicated support to publishers. Personally i have contacted both of these URL shorteners and got a quick reply. Even ClicksFly provides you Live Chat, Skype and Email based support.Whereas, on Adfly you get forum and email based support.
Here both of these URL Shorteners provide a dedicated support but only because ClicksFly offers more options i would give it a 5 out of 5 stars whereas whereas Adfly a 4 out of 5 stars.
Additional Earning Opportunities:
Both of these URL shorteners provide additional opportunity to publishers by offering a competitive referral program. ClicksFly's referral program is limited to referring publishers only whereas Adfly's referral program let you earn from both publishers and advertisers.On ClicksFly you get a 20% referral commission for lifetime when you refer a publisher. But there is no commission offered for referring advertisers. On the other hand if you refer a publisher on Adfly then you get a 20% referral commission for lifetime but if you refer an advertiser then you get a 5% commission.
So, on Adfly it's a win win situation for publishers and therefore, it gets a 5 out of 5 stars whereas ClicksFly gets 4 out of 5 stars.
Conclusion:
If you are planning to earn some handsome income from URL shorteners then you can use these two URL shortners. Both of these URL shorteners are legitimate and therefore, you can join them confidently.The payout rates depend on the country of the people visiting to your links so make sure to check which one is offering better rates for your traffic.
