| Decision criteria | Affiliatly | Affonso |
|---|---|---|
| Consider for | Budget-conscious online stores testing a trackable affiliate program and wanting simple coupon/link attribution. | Micro SaaS or subscription startups using supported modern billing providers, especially those comparing Paddle Billing or Polar alongside Stripe. |
| Paid entry / monthly | $0/month | $19/month |
| Billing detail | Free plan $0 up to 50 tracked orders; Starter $16/month for up to 50 affiliates with unlimited tracked orders; Advanced $24/month for up to 200 affiliates. | 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 free tier is publicly listed, with a cap of 50 tracked orders. It should not be interpreted as unlimited affiliate transactions. | No permanent free plan. A 14-day trial is advertised on paid plans. |
| Commissions | Merchants can set percentage or fixed-order commissions with configurable commission rules. The primary use case is ecommerce order attribution, not recurring SaaS billing. | 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 | Affiliate links, email, coupon and QR attribution with affiliate dashboards, purchase reports, marketing assets and configurable program settings. | 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 | Vendor lists gift cards and store rewards, and PayPal Mass Payout on Advanced. Actual transfer charges and affiliate-region support depend on payout providers. | 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. |
| Integrations | Official integrations list Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Squarespace, Ecwid and others; custom stores require implementation validation. | Native integrations listed for Stripe, Paddle Billing, Polar.sh, Creem and Dodo Payments. API, webhooks and SDK are documented; test your exact checkout and subscription event flow before switching. |
| API available | No | Yes |
| Consider the limitation | Subscription SaaS merchants requiring native recurring billing commission logic or enterprise channel deal registration. | Businesses requiring a no-cost permanent plan, predictable uncapped affiliate-attributed revenue at Launch pricing, or fully managed payouts without extra fees. |
