Open Excel and do that Math yourself. PPS is the better choice in the short and long run.

Edited for this:

PPS = $40 per trial signup.
RevShare = 80% - 10% (estimated processing fees) = 70%

1000 signups in any given month.

PPS = $40.00 x 1000 = $40,000 first month.

RevShare variables:

Trial Membership: $4.95 initial.
Monthly charge at site is: $39.99 regular subscription.
Conversion trial to regular: 30%
Month to Month member retention: 80%

At those rates it took 2 years (24 months) to get $45,206.64.

With interest and investment on the initial PPS $40,000, you would probably have at least that amount in 2 years. Math and computations using Excel tables and forumulas.

Revshare you also have to worry about chargebacks AND the sponsor or CC company staying in business for the full 2 years! Big risk these days if you ask me.

This is with a 80% program too.
