Pay Per Call Affiliate Networks Ultimate List
One of the most common questions in pay per call marketing is “which networks should I join?” Affiliate networks are always shifting — the networks that dominated in 2013-2014 might not even exist anymore, while newcomers may be running the hottest, most exclusive offers around.
Here is a curated list of pay per call affiliate networks that have been personally tested, with honest assessments of each.
Key Takeaways
- Apply widely – Join multiple networks and test offers across niches to find the best payouts
- Use OfferVault – The go-to aggregator for comparing offers and spotting re-brokered deals
- Build credibility – A professional website and social profiles help with network applications
- Test relentlessly – Testing builds keyword lists, sharpens intuition, and reveals overlooked opportunities
MarketCall
MarketCall is one of the more trustworthy pay per call networks in the game. They have hosted several private pay per call webinars revealing real campaign data without any “make money online” fluff (ask your affiliate manager for links to those private videos).
- Call listening – Unlike some platforms, MarketCall lets you listen to your unconverted calls
- Landing pages provided – They offer pay per call landing pages for those who want alternatives to call-only ads. MarketCall records every call and provides high-converting landing pages for each offer.[2]MarketCall pay per call affiliate networkmarketcall.com
- Custom platform – The dashboard is custom-built with all the features of a top-tier call tracking platform
- Exclusive payouts – Some offers on their network pay more than anywhere else
Aragon Advertising Network
Aragon likely has the most pay per call offers available of any network. Some offers are brokered from other networks, while others are exclusive because they have agents actively onboarding businesses for affiliates to promote.
- Huge offer selection – Massive variety of pay per call offers across verticals
- Reliable payouts – No issues with payment processing
- Proactive affiliate managers – Constant updates on new offers, with occasional early-access exclusives
- Invoca tracking – Runs on the Invoca call tracking backend, ensuring accurate call crediting. Invoca is a call tracking and attribution platform that ties inbound phone calls back to the marketing campaign that drove them.[3]Invoca call tracking platforminvoca.com
Astoria Company
Astoria has been around for a long time and features a dozen or so exclusive offers that other networks might not have. They also maintain 50+ offers at any given time, which is a huge benefit for testing various niches.
- Exclusive offers – Unique offers not found on other networks
- Large catalog – 50+ offers available for testing across niches
- Responsive team – The affiliate team is quick to respond and actively helps improve conversion rates
Palo Media
Palo is a niche network with a handful of offers in the medical insurance and legal verticals. This is a solid network for testing out specialized offers with intermediate difficulty. Payouts have been reliable, though the offer volume is limited compared to larger networks.
HyperTarget Marketing
HyperTarget is notable for their Spanish-speaking offers and some unique niches. Payouts were on time and there is potential here, though some technical issues have come up on occasion — call centers not picking up, or not speaking the correct language. Using a call-recording platform to listen to your calls is highly recommended.
eLocal
eLocal covers a lot of legitimate businesses and call centers that need traffic, spanning numerous niches. On paper, it looks great. In practice, there are significant issues to be aware of.
- Wide niche coverage – Many verticals available for promotion
- Unreliable conversion criteria – Zipcode lists may indicate $20+ payouts, but conversions regularly come in at $3-4 for those same zipcodes
- Barebones tracking – The tracking platform is an extremely basic HTML table showing conversion time and status
- Decent affiliate team – The team itself is responsive, but the analytics infrastructure needs major work
OfferVault – Pay Per Call Network Aggregator
OfferVault should be THE primary source for network and offer research. This is the go-to for affiliates looking for unique offers, higher payouts, and determining if their current network is simply re-brokering an offer from elsewhere. OfferVault aggregates affiliate, CPA, and pay-per-call offers from many networks into one searchable directory.[1]OfferVault offer directoryoffervault.com
- Compare payouts – See which networks offer “Top Payout” for specific offers
- Spot re-brokers – Identify networks that may be middlemen brokering from other networks
- Discover new networks – Find networks you might not encounter through other channels
Finding and Evaluating Pay Per Call Offers
While many offers listed above can be found through OfferVault, some of the best offers are only available through specific media channels, which can unlock more exclusive offers, higher payouts, and less competition.

Tip 1: Experience Required?
Most networks require two forms of experience verification:
- A reference — names of networks or affiliate managers you have worked with
- Proof of income from one or two networks
Tip 2: Build Your Proof of Legitimacy
One of the biggest concerns for affiliate networks is verifying that you are a legitimate advertiser and not someone trying to game the system.
- Build a basic agency website – Even a simple site adds credibility
- Link social profiles – Connect your Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram
- Professional communication – Use a professional email address and be clear about your traffic sources
Tip 3: If at First You Don’t Succeed
Getting rejected by a network is not the end. If you were turned down as a newcomer without proof of experience, come back in a month or two once you have some results to show.
- Contact them directly – Reach out via email and offer to have a Skype or video chat
- Clarify your experience – Explain which niches you have traffic for and your marketing approach
- Show your digital presence – Point them to your website and social profiles
Conclusion
This list only includes networks that have been personally tested and can be vouched for (or warned against). Some networks were left off because it has been too long since traffic was run with them.
Affiliate networks come and go, and many simply re-broker offers from one network to another. The best approach is to visit OfferVault, apply to as many networks as possible that feature relevant offers, then test aggressively across niches.[1]OfferVault offer directoryoffervault.com

Remember
Testing builds your keyword list, optimizes your intuition, but more importantly reveals what other marketers may have missed that you can capitalize on.
