Which is better is relative to individual affiliate, so I will discuss this under some headings:
1. Quantity of signups- In case of the S-Builder (SB), it is usually between 4-10 signups which means it is indeterminate and there is no guarantee of the quantity you will receive. On the other hand, the PSA To Go (PTG) guarantees that you receive the number of signups you paid for. Also in the case of SB the more months you participate successively, the more signups you will receive ( between 4-10) and it usually takes the first or second supply to break across the middle (above 5) and a longer time for more. I personally participated in SB for about 6 months but the highest received was 7. As you can see for the sake of planning and setting your objectives, the PTG trumps the SB because what you see is what you get.
2. Delivery time- Typically you will start receiving SB sign-ups within three to four weeks from the end of the month in which you bought your S-Builder units, while the PTG is supplied with 5 days. So if you are the type that prefer your signups to arrive within a very short period and in bigger batches then PTG has an advantage, if not SB is your preferred option. Personally I prefer to receive my signups sooner than later because; I will use almost the same effort to put them through the system in their preliminary stages, the source of supply will be easy to remember and finally I will be able to decide earlier if my objectives in terms of the number of PSAs needed are met and the earlier you can make this decision the earlier it is to change course if necessary; remember delay may be dangerous.
3. Cost- Some have been of the opinion that both products cost the same, while other have opined that the SB or PTG is cheaper. However, receiving between 4 and 10 signups with the SB at a constant price of $22 means it is financially more convenient on the short run and less costly than the PTG on the long run when you hit 10 signups for $22 as against $39 for 10 signups in case of PTG. As you can see, the SB may be more attractive to affiliates who are not financially buoyant enough, provided there is a willingness to trade off the initial small quantity and the time delay for this financial convenience.
4. Co-op Manager- Personally I think it is better to employ PTG as the source of signups for your co-op where your PSAs are participants. This is because assignment of signups to the participant will be more regular and timely. Also, it will be convenient to use the 'share' option as you can guarantee the number of signups per participants.
Please note that in case of the quality of signups, it is purely a game of numbers as far as both products are concerned, but again I suppose the SB is TC direct product while the PTG is supplied by a third party.
