| Decision criteria | Kademi | Affonso |
|---|---|---|
| Consider for | B2B software suppliers, distributors and trade/retail brands running structured partner enablement, certification and incentive programs. | Micro SaaS or subscription startups using supported modern billing providers, especially those comparing Paddle Billing or Polar alongside Stripe. |
| Paid entry / monthly | Not verified | $19/month |
| Billing detail | No consistent public monthly subscription price verified. Vendor-led demo and modular quote required for channel management, rewards, education and add-on components. | Launch: $19/month month-to-month, or $15/month when billed annually; monthly affiliate-attributed revenue cap is $1,000. |
| Free plan | No | No |
| Free plan detail | No permanent free package confirmed in the cited vendor pages. Demo requests are available but do not establish an unrestricted free trial. | No permanent free plan. A 14-day trial is advertised on paid plans. |
| Commissions | Referral and commission program modules reward partners for converted leads. Dealer or channel incentive programs may use points, sales-based rewards and targeted campaigns rather than standard recurring SaaS invoice payouts. | 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 | Partner portals, deal registration, training/certifications, leaderboards, sales incentive performance, program resources and channel engagement are documented. | 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 | The site references commissions, incentives and channel loyalty, but it does not establish a universal managed cash payout service in every package. Validate funding, approval and reconciliation. | 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 | Vendor promotes modular web portals and workflow automation; exact CRM, billing-provider and SSO connectors require vendor confirmation because public pages do not establish all plan-level combinations. | 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 | Ecommerce-only merchants wanting self-service coupon affiliate links with a transparent $20 monthly subscription. | Businesses requiring a no-cost permanent plan, predictable uncapped affiliate-attributed revenue at Launch pricing, or fully managed payouts without extra fees. |
