Choose an ad network by payout eligibility, not headline revenue
Compare official Monetag, Adsterra and AdSense payment information while separating thresholds, payment methods and receipt of funds.
0101 / Check methods available to your account
Verify residence, account type and the payout methods shown in the dashboard. Both Monetag and Adsterra make availability country- or account-dependent. Public documentation does not confirm every option for China; identity and receiving-account eligibility still need checking.
0202 / Compare the actual payment channel
At verification, Monetag lists PayPal at USD 5 and Payoneer at USD 20 or 30 depending on country. Adsterra’s PayPal via Hyperwallet is USD 25 with a USD 0.65 fee. AdSense’s USD payment threshold is USD 100. Headline minimums do not apply to every method.
0303 / Include schedules and costs
Reaching the threshold is not same-day payment. Holds, settlement dates, reviews and payment-provider processing can delay receipt. Check the dashboard schedule, currency and conversion or bank charges. Resolve conflicting help and contractual terms instead of assuming zero fees.
0404 / Validate with real traffic
Use placements that preserve reading and downloads, then review creatives, destinations, performance and settlement records. An installation button does not automatically create CPI revenue. Third-party promotions need real agreements and attribution; downloads of your own APK do not create automatic ad payments.
Amounts were checked on 2026-11-12; account settings and applicable terms take precedence. Approval, China payout availability, timing and earnings are not guaranteed. Never inflate traffic or click your own ads.
