Editor's verdict
BigSpy runs an affiliate program for its ad intelligence platform, sitting in the digital marketing vertical. It suits publishers with agency client referrals, blogs, email newsletters, online courses, podcasts, social media, or video audiences.
Commissions are CPS only, paid in USD via PayPal on a monthly Net-30 schedule. The minimum payout is $50, which is reachable for most affiliates sending steady tool sign-ups.
Approval is manual and rated moderate, with roughly a week's wait before a decision. With a single vertical and PayPal as the only payment method, affiliates outside digital marketing or those needing bank transfers will find the fit narrow.

About BigSpy
What BigSpy is
BigSpy is a web-based advertisement spy tool, described on its G2 profile as a platform that helps businesses and individuals draw creative inspirations for marketing campaigns, with a database of ads searchable via various filters. A third-party listing on Affpaying characterizes BigSpy as a premium digital marketing tool with the largest intelligence database of ad creatives, integrated with social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Yahoo, Pinterest, and AdMob, allowing users to gain insights from millions of ads. The official affiliate page does not offer historical details or scale figures beyond placeholder metrics (e.g., “0K+ customers tried”), so no concrete user numbers are available from the supplied material.
Offers, product, and features
The affiliate program promotes a single product: BigSpy itself. There are no separate offers or verticals. The product’s core features, as described on the official site and G2, include a large ad database spanning multiple platforms, ad search filters, and tools for tracking top advertisers. The G2 profile lists integrations with Adspyder and Meta Audience Network, and notes that the platform supports English and Chinese (Simplified). The official affiliate page does not enumerate additional product tiers or features beyond the general ad-spy functionality.
Payments and terms
According to the official BigSpy affiliate page, affiliates earn at least 20% lifetime recurring commission on each full-price payment from a referred user who registers and subscribes through the affiliate link. The commission is reduced proportionally if the user purchases at a discounted price. Cookies are valid for 60 days, and the referred user must register within that window; however, if the user subscribes later, the affiliate still earns commission. Payouts are made via PayPal, with a minimum threshold of $50, and last month’s commission is paid the following month (net-30 monthly, as listed by Affpaying). The official terms also state that BigSpy reserves the right to postpone payout until at least two different users are referred, to avoid self-referrals.
Platform and tracking
The affiliate program uses FirstPromoter as its tracking software, according to the Affpaying listing. The official page does not disclose additional tracking details, such as real-time reporting or cookie attribution beyond the 60-day window. The application process is described as submitting a form, with review typically completed within a week. Affiliates receive a unique affiliate ID and are expected to share text and URL links, as BigSpy states it provides no special promotional materials.
Reputation
Third-party reviews of the BigSpy product are positive: on G2, BigSpy holds a 4.6 out of 5 rating from 651 reviews, with 80% five-star ratings (see G2). However, these ratings reflect the product itself, not the affiliate program. The affiliate program has no public reviews on Affpaying; the listing shows zero reviews and zero payment proofs, and the overall rating is blank. No third-party criticisms of the affiliate program were found in the supplied material. The official page’s claims of “0K+ customers” and “$0 avg customer lifetime value” appear to be placeholder values and should not be interpreted as verified statistics.
Who it suits
The official affiliate page states that anyone with an online presence can become an affiliate, targeting content publishers, course creators, marketing agencies, and e-commerce retailers. The program may suit those who already use BigSpy and can recommend it authentically, given the lifetime recurring commission and low $50 payout threshold. It may be less suitable for affiliates who expect dedicated promotional materials (the official page explicitly says there are none), who prefer payment methods other than PayPal, or who want a program with a proven track record of affiliate reviews and payment proofs—since the Affpaying listing currently shows none. Additionally, the self-referral clause could delay payouts for affiliates who refer only themselves, so those planning to test the program with their own subscription should be aware of this condition.
