| Pricing | Not published · free tier: Free self-registration for publishers at publisher.rakutenadvertising.com; no free advertiser tier | Not published · free tier: Free for approved publishers (no account fee stated anywhere retrieved); approval required and takes up to 72 working hours |
| Pricing model | Custom | Performance-based (CPA, CPL, CPC, CPI, CPS); no published rate card |
| Best for | Mid-market to enterprise multi-country advertisers wanting managed affiliate plus adjacent paid media from one vendor, and established content or loyalty publishers with volume to clear per-network thresholds and cash runway for a ~60-day payment lag. | Established affiliates and media-buying teams generating at least several hundred to several thousand dollars monthly in lead-gen, pay-per-call, insurance, e-commerce or home-services traffic who want a managed account-manager relationship and flexible payout rails. |
| Avoid if | You need published pricing or self-serve onboarding, you are a small or newly launched publisher spread across several regional networks, you buy media against lead payouts and need fast cash cycles, or you specifically need a network proven on finance and fintech CPL offers. | You are a beginner or low-volume affiliate who cannot clear the $500 threshold, you need self-serve transparent published pricing, you cannot tolerate a NET 15 monthly cash-flow cycle, or your primary requirement is finance/fintech offers specifically — ClickDealer does not name finance, fintech, crypto or forex as core verticals on its own site. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
