What FirstPromoter does better than us

  • The richest feature catalogue on the market, with a deliberately generous entry plan: full reporting, complete fraud protection and multi-tier commissions from $49.
  • No percentage taken on the revenue your affiliates generate.
  • Built-in email automation that few competitors offer.
  • Years of track record, with the documentation and integrations that implies.

When to pick FirstPromoter

If your program is already running and you want feature depth, FirstPromoter is hard to beat — our own matrix was actually recalibrated against theirs. Their entry plan gives away things many competitors gate higher.

When to pick us. Their entry cap is $5,000 of affiliate revenue a month: past that you move to $99. And more importantly, no tracking tool solves the problem of having zero affiliates — that is what the marketplace does, and it is included from the free plan.

Frequently asked questions

Can I migrate from FirstPromoter without losing my affiliates?

Your affiliates need to create an account, but their existing subscribers are not lost: we scan your live Stripe subscriptions and reattach each one to the affiliate who brought it, wherever the proof exists. Renewals therefore keep paying commission after the migration.

Why do you take a percentage when they don't?

Because the subscription alone does not fund the marketplace or AI-assisted recruiting. The percentage falls as your volume rises (10% → 0.5%) and it is capped: above your plan's cap it stops being taken until the end of the month. On the free plan it is the only thing you pay.

Is the free plan really permanent?

Yes, and that is the main difference with the four tools compared here: all of them offer a 7 to 30-day trial, none has a permanent free plan. No credit card, no countdown. You pay 10% of the revenue your affiliates bring you, on the first $1,000 each month.
