1. Advantages vs. Disadvantages

Compared to monthly allowance, PPM is more flexible and convenient, but it has different benefits and drawbacks for both the sugar daddy and the sugar baby.

For Sugar Daddies

The PPM payment model means that the sugar daddy will only pay for each meeting. The timing of the dates is completely up to the sugar daddy. This means that the sugar daddy has more freedom in the sugar relationship and only needs to pay money when they want to arrange a date.

For Sugar Babies

PPM is less favorable for the sugar baby. Compared to regular allowances, the sugar baby will not have a fixed monthly income. Although the payment per date is higher, how much the sugar baby can earn in a month depends entirely on the sugar daddy. Therefore, this model is less friendly to sugar babies.

2. Influencing Factors

Like allowances, the amount of PPM is also influenced by location, the sugar baby's age and appearance, and the type of arrangement. The more developed the area, the higher the PPM, and usually, more attractive sugar babies can command higher payments. Additionally, the extent to which a sugar baby is willing to go also affects the payment. For example, a sugar baby who is open to sex will earn more than one who only dates for meals and entertainment.

3. Regional Differences

Region	Average PPM Rate (USD)
North America ¹	$300–$1,000
Europe ²	$250–$850
Asia	$300–$900
Australia ³	$350–$850
Middle East	$400–$1,300
South America ⁴	$40–$150
Africa	$100–$400
Eastern Europe	$120–$450
South Asia ⁴	$60–$250

The difference in PPM rates across continents is significant, and even within the same continent, different countries can have some variation. For example, the rates in the United States are higher than in Mexico, and within the U.S., the rates in New York are noticeably higher than in Georgia. Therefore, for some sugar babies, due to the significant price differences, they may choose to fly to the sugar daddy's city for a date⁵ after finding a suitable match on a sugar daddy website, and the sugar daddy in a developed city will often generously pay for their travel expenses.

4. How to Increase Rates

For sugar babies, although PPM does not provide a stable income, its flexibility allows them to have more free time, and managing time well can greatly increase their income.

Dress Up

To earn higher payments, sugar babies should invest in themselves and purchase elegant clothing. Studies show that enhancing one's appearance can increase income by up to 40%⁶.

Build Multiple Relationships

Because of the time freedom and flexibility of PPM, sugar babies can build relationships with different sugar daddies at the same time. If the schedule is arranged properly and the payments per meeting are high, it is possible to earn more than the fixed allowance in a month.

Allowance + PPM

Sugar babies can have a fixed allowance arrangement with one sugar daddy while simultaneously establishing a PPM relationship with other sugar daddies. This way, they can have a steady income while earning more extra money.

For sugar babies, PPM can greatly supplement their income. For example, if each meeting is 600 USD, and they meet 4 times a month, they could earn 28,800 USD annually, which is close to the median personal income in the U.S.⁷, and with the allowance, the income will increase significantly.

However, establishing both allowance + PPM requires the consent of the sugar daddy with whom the sugar baby has a fixed allowance relationship, or there must be no provision in the agreement that restricts the sugar baby from building relationships with other sugar daddies.
