MyLead Review & 4 Alternatives (2026)

MyLead is a mainstream multi-vertical affiliate network with an adult shelf, not an adult network. It launched in Poznań, Poland in June 2014, went global after dominating its home market, and the corporate entity now sits in Nicosia, Cyprus as MYLEAD CY LTD. The catalog claims 8,360 affiliate programs across 30+ verticals: e-commerce leads at 3,696, health at 885, and adult/dating at 774. Payout models run CPA, CPL, CPS, PPI and COD.

A word on their marketing numbers: the about page says campaigns operate in "251 countries", which is more countries than there are countries, and in another spot the same page counts "3,631 users earning with us" while review sites repeat claims of 850,000 affiliates. None of that is disqualifying — every network inflates — but calibrate accordingly. The verifiable core is real: a 12-year-old network with a large, genuinely multi-vertical catalog and a meaningful dating/adult section.

The numbers, from their own withdrawal guide: €100 minimum on standard methods, $150 via PayPal, $200 in Bitcoin or Tether. Eight withdrawal options — PayPal, Skrill, Revolut, BTC, USDT, Capitalist, YooMoney and bank transfer. No Paxum, which adult webmasters will notice. Crypto converts at the Zonda exchange rate at processing time.

Now the part I don't like. Standard withdrawals are free but take up to 14 working days — that's nearly three calendar weeks. The express option lands within 48 business hours but costs a 7% commission, refunded only if they miss their own deadline. Charging publishers 7% to be paid promptly is a choice. Withdrawals are full-balance only (no partial pulls), sub-threshold balances roll over to the next month, and every payout passes a "quality and fairness" review — fraud screening at cash-out time, the classic CPA pressure point. In practice Affpaying reviewers report money often arrives faster than the stated maximum, but plan on the published terms, not the anecdotes.

Tracking is in-house and better documented than most mid-tier networks. You get server-to-server postback plus an API for pulling stats, with five subids (ml_sub1 through ml_sub5) that surface per-lead in the Statistics panel — enough granularity to run proper source-level optimisation through Voluum, AdsBridge or whatever tracker you already use, and they publish step-by-step integration guides for exactly that.

The promo toolkit is where MyLead differentiates. There are 30 smartlink programs, including several Adult Dating Smartlink variants that auto-match geo, device and language — the standard play for remnant and broad-geo adult traffic. Content lockers come in four flavours (CPA Locker, Captcha Locker, File Locker, Mobile Rewards) for download and incentive-style inventory, and there's a mobile app on iOS and Android for checking stats. Creatives are supplied per program and quality varies by advertiser; they don't publish network-wide EPC data, so you'll be split-testing blind at the start.

Support is MyLead's strongest axis. Reviews consistently praise fast responses, named account managers get thanked in public reviews, and there's a mentoring program plus a website audit service aimed at newer publishers — unusual effort for a network this size. On Affpaying it holds 4.9/5 across 586 reviews, the bulk of them payment confirmations: 563 rate it excellent, 2 poor.

Trustpilot is the corrective: roughly 4/5 across about 880 reviews, with a persistent minority reporting withdrawals blocked at fraud review, leads sitting pending for weeks (in the worst reports, months) before being charged back, and accounts banned over suspicious IPs and repetitive user agents. That failure mode isn't unique to MyLead — payout-time fraud screening is how every CPA network protects itself — but it means the burden of proof sits on you. Keep traffic sources clean and documented, and the 12-year payment-proof trail suggests you'll be paid.

Sign up if you have mixed or remnant traffic to monetise: dating smartlinks for the geos your primary network won't take, content lockers for download-style inventory, and 7,500+ mainstream programs for the non-adult side of your portfolio. The adult/dating shelf at 774 programs is wide but shallow — dating offers and smartlinks, not exclusive cam or paysite deals you'd build a site around. CrakRevenue this is not.

Skip it, or at least don't lead with it, if you're low-volume: a €100 floor with monthly rollover and full-balance-only withdrawals means small publishers wait months to see money, then wait up to 14 working days more. And if Paxum is your only banking rail, you're out of luck entirely. The 5% lifetime referral program — funded by the network, not clawed from your referrals — is a reasonable sweetener for anyone running B2B content; referral cookie duration is not published.
