AWEmpire vs CrakRevenue
Both networks pay. One pays better on EU traffic, the other on US/CA. Here's the breakdown — payout terms, geo coverage, payment methods, real EPC numbers from sixteen months of split-tests.
Two networks, same vertical (cam-first adult), nearly identical payout schedules — and consistently different EPC depending on where the traffic comes from. We’ve kept active accounts at both since 2018 and split-tested the same offer through both at least once a year. This page is the head-to-head from our most recent run, plus the take that comes out of it.
Numbers below come from our own pixel data, not network-published averages. Where one network “wins” a row, it’s marked — but a row win in isolation rarely settles the choice. The traffic-match section near the bottom is where the actual decision lives.

AWEmpire
What works
- Best EU rates in the network catalog, especially DACH
- 30% flat revshare with no tier games and indefinite rebills
- Whitelabel program is genuinely turn-key
- $50 min payout is low enough to test cleanly
What doesn’t
- Native dashboard is dated; data export is CSV-only
- US/CA conversion is meaningfully behind Crak
- No smartlink in the Crak sense
- Catalog is cam-only, not a one-stop shop
CrakRevenue
What works
- Smartlinks auto-route by geo + device
- Largest offer catalog in the adult niche
- Tier bumps reward volume; top tier ~$8 PPS
- TrackingDesk integration is the cleanest tracker handoff
What doesn’t
- $100 min payout is double AWE
- Smartlinks underperform on tightly-niched landing pages
- No whitelabel option
- EU rates noticeably weaker than AWE for the same geos
Match your traffic
Based on 16-month split-test data.
AWE pays better on EU traffic. CrakRevenue wins on US/CA. Stop reading reviews and split-test for a week.
Neither network is “better” in the abstract. They’re optimized for different geos and different operator profiles. If you only have one site and it’s US-focused, run Crak and move on. If you have any EU traffic at all, run AWE on that segment specifically. Run the test.
How we’d actually run both
Operator-level routing, not theoretical.
The honest answer most “vs” comparisons skip: in production, you usually want both. Open accounts at AWE and CrakRevenue, set up tracking domains for each, and route traffic by geo at the affiliate-link level. Most modern trackers (BeMob, Voluum, RedTrack) handle this in their geo-rule engine. If you’re not running a tracker, the same logic works at smartlink level inside CrakRevenue — but you’ll lose the EU optimization that makes AWE worth running in the first place.
The one operator profile where you genuinely should pick just one: small-volume affiliates on a single-geo site. If you’re driving 500 daily clicks of US tube traffic to one cam page, the operational overhead of running two networks isn’t worth the rounding-error EPC difference. Pick CrakRevenue, get to volume, then revisit when you have something to optimize.
