Total cost, not list price
Platform fee, percent of revenue, payout fees and seat limits are recorded separately, so you can compare what a program really costs.
Documented facts, not a quality ranking. Pricing and rights depend on the selected plan.
| Decision criteria | Partnerize | AffiliateWP |
|---|---|---|
| Consider for | Larger global brands and agencies needing managed affiliate commerce partnerships and custom service levels. | WordPress stores that want to run an affiliate program within their own installation and need WooCommerce product attribution. |
| Paid entry / monthly | Quote only | Not verified |
| Billing detail | Public pricing is CUSTOM. Partnerize says it offers either a fixed license fee or performance-based percentage-fee structure, depending on the contract and service scope. There is no verified standard monthly price. | The live pricing page lists introductory first-year ANNUAL licenses: Personal $149.50 (normal $299/year), Plus $199.50 (normal $399/year), Pro $299.50 (normal $599/year). Do not interpret these as monthly rates; promotions and renewal prices differ. |
| Free plan | No | No |
| Free plan detail | No permanent free self-serve tier documented; prospective merchants must request a quote. | No free version and no free trial; vendor lists a 14-day refund guarantee for new purchases. |
| Commissions | Commission structures and partner rewards are negotiated within the program, with partner commerce attribution, contract and reporting workflows. | Percentage or fixed commissions for eligible WordPress checkouts; recurring, lifetime and tiered/multi-tier commission workflows are Pro-level features. Validate plugin-level support for refunds and renewals. |
| Tracking method | Affiliate and partnership attribution across global brand programs with enterprise campaign reporting and partner performance analytics. | WordPress referral links, coupon codes, WooCommerce order attribution and site-owned affiliate dashboard; not a direct integration with Paddle Billing subscriptions. |
| Payouts | International partner settlement options depend on region, merchant contract and partner payout rules. Confirm supported currencies and time-to-pay with the sales team. | Vendor documents international payouts, Stripe, PayPal and store-credit options with zero platform transaction fees; external processing charges and regional eligibility may still apply. |
| Integrations | Partnerize supports advertiser partnership and global commerce workflows; specific native Stripe/Paddle SaaS billing integrations need written confirmation. | WordPress and WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads and supported membership/course/form plugins. Other hosted ecommerce platforms require a different tool. |
| API available | No | No |
| Consider the limitation | Startup founders expecting transparent under-$100/month Stripe/Paddle affiliate SaaS. | Shopify-only merchants and buyers expecting the advanced Pro commission options on the cheapest annual license. |
