It isn't about that, it is about risk Vs reward. If you do a revshare you are accepting some of the risks. If they cancel during the trial period or only rebill once (or even twice) you make less. You need them to join and stay a member about 3 months before you make more than you would per signup. With PPS you don't have the risk. you get paid no matter if they stay a member 5 minutes of 5 years so the company takes more in the long run in order to pay you up front. That is part of the deal of getting a larger sum up front.

What I would love to see is a PPS where they gave you a little bonus if the person did a xsell. Maybe you get $35 per signup, but $45 if they did a xsell.
