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 | Affise | AffiliateWP |
|---|---|---|
| Consider for | Performance agencies, affiliate networks and established ecommerce acquisition teams handling multiple traffic partners and offers. | WordPress stores that want to run an affiliate program within their own installation and need WooCommerce product attribution. |
| Paid entry / monthly | Not verified | Not verified |
| Billing detail | Affise lists Beginner from $499/month on commitment-based terms and another $625 monthly figure; Core and Expand cost more. Contract terms determine the applicable 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 plan verified for the performance product. The pricing page lists a 14-day trial on the introductory performance plans. | No free version and no free trial; vendor lists a 14-day refund guarantee for new purchases. |
| Commissions | Supports partner commissions, affiliate network offer management and configurable campaign/payout rules. Network publisher settlements are separate from the platform subscription. | 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 | Performance offers, clicks, impressions and conversions with dashboards, fraud prevention and campaign-level statistics. The listed plans meter conversions and impressions. | WordPress referral links, coupon codes, WooCommerce order attribution and site-owned affiliate dashboard; not a direct integration with Paddle Billing subscriptions. |
| Payouts | Affise Pay is listed on performance plans for publisher payouts. Confirm supported currencies, country coverage, withdrawal and funding fees under the contract. | 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 | Affise Performance, Affise Reach and the mobile measurement offering are separate product lines. Confirm integrations, postbacks, advertising network tracking and precise product purchased. | WordPress and WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads and supported membership/course/form plugins. Other hosted ecommerce platforms require a different tool. |
| API available | Yes | No |
| Consider the limitation | A solo SaaS founder who only needs to pay a few Stripe referral partners. | Shopify-only merchants and buyers expecting the advanced Pro commission options on the cheapest annual license. |
