Tapfiliate is an established platform with a broad integration catalogue, but its pricing is metered in a way that punishes growth on three separate axes. The Launch plan is $89/month โ the joint-highest entry price we compared โ and it allows one program, 50 affiliates, 5,000 clicks per month, 500 conversions per month and a single team member. Exceed the meters and overage charges apply. PromoteBoost has no meters: unlimited affiliates, unlimited campaigns, unlimited referrals, free until you generate $10,000/month in affiliate revenue.

Tapfiliate's Launch plan caps you at 50 affiliates. Any serious recruitment effort โ a marketplace listing, a newsletter mention, an influencer campaign โ can produce fifty sign-ups in a week, and most affiliate programs follow a long tail where a large roster produces a small number of strong performers. Capping the roster at 50 caps the top of your funnel. PromoteBoost's Free plan has no affiliate limit at all. Recruit a thousand, approve them automatically, and let the data tell you which ones matter. Unlimited affiliates is not an upsell for us; it is on the free tier.
On Launch, Tapfiliate meters 5,000 clicks and 500 conversions per month, and charges $1.50 per 1,000 additional clicks and $15 per 1,000 additional conversions. This is the part that makes budgeting difficult: a single affiliate posting to a large audience can burn through your click allowance in a day, and the invoice arrives after the fact. PromoteBoost does not meter clicks or conversions. Your affiliates can drive as much traffic as they can find. The only number that matters is total affiliate revenue, and the first $10,000/month of it is free.
Tapfiliate puts white-label and custom domain on the Scale plan at $179/month, or $149/month billed annually. PromoteBoost includes both in Pro at $49/month โ with automated payouts via PayPal, Wise, crypto and bank transfer, affiliate coupon codes, unlimited data history, unlimited team members and priority support. That is roughly a quarter of the price for the branded portal that most programs consider non-negotiable. Tapfiliate's Launch tier is $89/month, or $74/month billed annually, and Scale is $179/month, or $149/month annually.
PromoteBoost connects to Stripe natively via Stripe Connect and direct webhooks. On top of that you get cookie tracking configurable from 1 to 365 days, Stripe promo-code tracking, sub-ID parameters, recurring commissions you can cap at X months or run for the customer's lifetime, two-tier commissions, automatic self-referral detection, a public marketplace for discovery, inbound webhooks for Shopify and Kajabi, and a full API. None of it is metered, and none of it sits behind a higher tier.
Launch your affiliate program in minutes. Free until you generate $10,000/month in affiliate revenue โ then $49/month flat, white-label included.
Tapfiliate has been in the market a long time and offers a wide catalogue of integrations across e-commerce and subscription platforms. If your stack is unusual, or you need to attach affiliate tracking to several different systems at once, their breadth is a real advantage over a Stripe-focused tool like ours.
Choose Tapfiliate if you need an integration they support and we do not, or if you run affiliate tracking across a mixed e-commerce and subscription stack where breadth beats depth. If you are a Stripe SaaS with ambitions beyond 50 affiliates, the metered model works against you from the first month.
