Which one should you pick?
Pick Mangools if
- you want recurring income: Mangools pays on renewals (25-35% on every recurring payment), Surfer doesn't say it does.
Pick Surfer if
- the headline percentage matters most: up to 125% against 35%.
Either way, the program that earns more is the one whose product your readers already want. A higher rate on something they won't buy pays nothing.
