Most affiliate software charges you $49 to $89 a month before you have earned a single dollar โ and then caps how much affiliate revenue you are allowed to generate. PromoteBoost is free until you hit $10,000/month in affiliate revenue. Here is how it stacks up against every major alternative, with the vendors' own published numbers.
Affiliate software pricing is deliberately confusing. Vendors advertise a low entry price, then attach a revenue ceiling to it: cross the ceiling and you are pushed onto a plan costing two or three times more. On top of that, the features you actually need to look professional โ a custom domain, a white-label affiliate portal, automated payouts โ are usually locked behind the second or third tier. We pulled the published pricing for the six most common alternatives and laid it out plainly. Every number on these pages comes from the vendor's own pricing page, and we tell you where each competitor genuinely beats us.
Entry plan = the cheapest paid tier each vendor publishes. Revenue cap = how much affiliate-driven revenue that tier allows per month.
