HeyZap has a lot of risk and little competition. If the model becomes proven, other companies will jump in and drive down the margins.

Little competition? There are a TON of companies in this market space, many of them well established. Just off the top of my head: Super Rewards, Offerpal, Gambit, Peanut Labs, etc...

And those companies are already driving down the margins. Most of the players in the market offer a 75% cut at minimum.

EDIT: Looking at their CPA page now I see that they're implementing Gambit. Guess they're in the same boat.
