|---|---|---|
| Consider for | Startup marketers seeking viral waitlists, sweepstakes, contests and referral lead acquisition. | Micro SaaS or subscription startups using supported modern billing providers, especially those comparing Paddle Billing or Polar alongside Stripe. |
| Paid entry / monthly | $19/month | $19/month |
| Billing detail | Hobby $19/month billed month-to-month or $13/month annual equivalent. Premium $69/month or $48 annual equivalent; Business $145/month or $99 annual equivalent; Enterprise $289/month or $202 annual equivalent. | Launch: $19/month month-to-month, or $15/month when billed annually; monthly affiliate-attributed revenue cap is $1,000. |
| Free plan | Yes | No |
| Free plan detail | A permanent limited free mini-campaign allows 100 unique visitors/month. Paid plans have monthly lead allowances and are not unlimited at every tier. | No permanent free plan. A 14-day trial is advertised on paid plans. |
| Commissions | Lead incentive rewards, contest participation and milestone structures; not a native Stripe/Paddle affiliate subscription commission platform. | Supports fixed and percentage commissions, one-time and recurring rewards, partner groups, link and coupon tracking, and configurable commission rules. Payout funds are separate from the tracking integration. |
| Tracking method | Unique referral URLs for each lead, points/recruitment tracking, fraud alerts and launch-campaign conversion analytics. | Affiliate links, coupon codes, product-aware commission rules, fraud checks and refund handling are documented. The vendor lists native Stripe, Paddle Billing, Polar, Creem and Dodo Payments integrations. |
| Payouts | Contest and milestone rewards are merchant-defined. Direct affiliate wage, automated commission export and payment-provider support need separate verification. | Manual payout exports support PayPal, Wise and bank transfers, with the merchant making the actual payment. Managed payouts require Growth or higher: official help documents a $25 per managed invoice service fee, a possible payment-method surcharge, and $0.50 per affiliate after the first 25. Check current terms and provider fees. |

Additional analytics integrations expand on Premium/Business. | Native integrations listed for Stripe, Paddle Billing, Polar.sh, Creem and Dodo Payments.
