Editor's verdict

Surfshark pays a revenue share starting at 40% of new sales, and it says it will negotiate custom payouts for affiliates who bring real volume. The cookie lasts 30 days and the most recent affiliate click gets the sale.

What sets it apart is how many ways you can join. Surfshark runs the program on Tune and also through Impact, Avant, CJ, AppsFlyer and Awin, so you can use whichever network you already get paid through. You don’t need a website either. Facebook, X and YouTube are fine.

The payout minimum is $100, and you request payouts yourself once a purchase has cleared, which takes up to 30 days. Note that the 40% is on new sales. The page says nothing about commission on renewals, so don’t plan on recurring income here.
