Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Infolinks
Display ads with no traffic minimum to join
Infolinks places in-text, in-frame and interstitial ads on sites that the managed networks will not take, because it sets no pageview floor at all. That is its whole reason to exist and it is a real one for a site that is growing. The formats are more intrusive than a standard banner, and the rate it pays is not published anywhere before you apply.
Our note
The lack of a traffic floor is the reason to list it and the reason to be careful: intrusive formats on a small site can cost more in readers than they pay. Run it against AdSense for a month and compare both the revenue and the bounce rate before keeping either.

Swapstack
Newsletter sponsorships with a published fee
Swapstack introduces newsletter writers to the brands that want to advertise in them, and it is unusually direct about what it takes for doing so. A publisher joins for nothing and keeps everything on a deal they source themselves; the fee applies to campaigns Swapstack brought. Advertisers pay a share of spend instead. For a writer with a few thousand subscribers and no interest in cold email, that is the whole pitch.
