If you run an adult site, mainstream display networks will not take your traffic, so the choice comes down to a short list of adult-friendly networks. This guide compares them on the things they publish themselves: payout minimums, payment schedule, ad formats and how much control you get over the zone.
We run Lana Network, which is one of the options, so we put it in its own section at the end and describe it with the same yardstick. We do not rank networks by how much they pay. Nobody can do that honestly without your traffic: the same zone earns very different amounts depending on country, device and niche. Every figure below comes from the network's own documentation unless we say otherwise, and we checked them on 18 October 2026. Terms change, so confirm in the dashboard before you commit.
How to compare adult ad networks
Skip the headline "earn up to" claims. These five questions decide whether a network works for a small or mid-sized site.
- Payout minimum for the method you will actually use. Most networks print a low number for an e-wallet and a high one for a bank wire.
- When the money arrives. A Net7 schedule means a week of earnings is paid seven days after that week closes. A prepaid deal reverses the order.
- Formats. Popunder, banner, native and push all behave differently on your pages. Pick the ones your visitors will tolerate.
- Zone controls. Look for a price floor, frequency capping and a fallback when no ad meets the floor.
- Fees on payouts. Crypto and wire payouts often carry a fixed fee that matters on small amounts.
The networks
ExoClick
ExoClick is a Barcelona-based self-serve exchange with a long list of formats, including banners, popunders (desktop and mobile), native, push and video. Its publisher payment documentation lists Paxum, BitPay, direct cryptocurrency and wire transfer. Minimums depend on the method: 20 EUR/USD on Paxum, 50 on direct crypto (500 for BTC) and 200 on wire. Weekly payments follow a Net7 schedule and go out on Mondays, monthly payments on the 20th of the following month.
For zone control, the zone documentation describes a floor CPM (soft or hard) and an alternative URL that runs when the floor is not met, which is what you need to chain it with another network. If you are looking for a second buyer next to it, see our list of ExoClick alternatives for adult publishers and our honest Lana Network vs ExoClick comparison.
TrafficStars
TrafficStars publishes unusually detailed payment terms for publishers. The USDT TRC-20 minimum is $100 for the first payment and $10 after that; other minimums are $100 for Paxum, Cosmopay, Capitalist and SEPA, and $1,000 (or 1,000 EUR) for an international wire. You choose weekly or monthly self-billing and can raise your own minimum. It also lists the fees: USDT TRC-20 costs 0.3% plus $1.50 and a SWIFT wire costs $35.
HilltopAds
HilltopAds focuses on popunder, in-page, video and multitag formats plus direct links. Its payout help page lists $20 minimums for Paxum, Capitalist, Wise and WebMoney, $50 for PayPal, $100 for USDT, $200 for Bitcoin and $1,000 for wire or UnionPay. Payouts run every Tuesday on a Net7 schedule, so traffic from the first week of a month is paid on the 14th.
JuicyAds
JuicyAds is an adult-only network. Its distinctive model is Direct Buy: the publisher sets a price per zone and an advertiser prepays it for a fixed period. According to an independent review (we could not find the same detail on a first-party page, so check it before relying on it), buyers can reserve a spot for 7, 14 or 30 days, the network keeps a 25% commission by default, digital payouts start at $25 and run on Fridays, and a wire starts at $500.
TrafficJunky
TrafficJunky is the advertising platform attached to the sites owned by Aylo, and it is best known as the place where advertisers buy placements on those sites (see this overview of where to buy adult traffic). We could not find first-party publisher payout terms to cite, so we quote no figures for it here. If you want to sell your inventory through it, ask for the terms in writing.

Where Lana Network fits
Lana Network is a small ad network, and today it buys mostly one slice of your traffic: visitors from the United States on a mobile browser set to English or Spanish, outside data centers and known VPN networks. Everything else is handed back to your current network through a passback, so you keep your existing setup.
What publishers get, as stated on our publishers page and payments page:
- Payment on valid impressions, with a net floor per zone that you set.
- Earnings held for 7 days, then payouts are processed weekly for balances of $10 or more.
- Payment in USDT on TRC20 or USDC on Solana, to details you enter yourself (how the hold, the minimum and the address rules work: weekly USDT and USDC payouts).
- Nine formats: a popunder, banners in 300x250, 300x500, 320x100, 320x50 and 300x100, a corner slider, a mobile interstitial and an in-page card, all loaded asynchronously.
What to know before you apply. We are new, so we have no years of payment history to point to, and our payouts are not prepaid: you are paid after the 7-day hold. Demand is still small, we mostly buy that one slice, and we cannot replace your main network. A new site goes live as soon as its ownership check passes, and what you earn depends on your audience and on advertiser bids: we promise no rate. Larger sites can ask for a prepaid premium deal.
How to choose
A sensible setup for a mid-sized site is one broad network for fill, plus one narrower buyer for the traffic it values most, with the broad network as the fallback for everything else. Start with the payout method you can really use, then compare schedules, then test formats one at a time for a week each so you can see which one hurts your session time.
Frequently asked questions
Which adult ad network has the lowest payout minimum?
It depends on the method. Among the networks above, TrafficStars lists $10 for USDT on TRC-20, while ExoClick, HilltopAds and JuicyAds start at 20 to 25 on e-wallets. Wire transfers are the highest everywhere. Lana Network pays from $10 of available balance, whatever the method.
Can I use more than one adult ad network on the same site?
Yes, and most publishers do. You need a way to pass unsold impressions on: a floor price with an alternative URL on ExoClick, or a passback tag on Lana Network.
Do adult ad networks pay in cryptocurrency?
Several do. ExoClick, TrafficStars and HilltopAds list crypto payouts, and Lana Network pays in USDT on TRC20 or USDC on Solana. Check the network fee, because a fixed fee weighs more on a small payout.
How long does approval take?
It varies, and few networks publish a commitment. With Lana Network there is no queue: your site goes live as soon as the ownership check passes. Ask any network what happens to your site while it waits for approval.
