Best Affiliate Software

Kartra Affiliates is the affiliate management module built into the Kartra all-in-one marketing platform rather than a stand-alone product. It lets Kartra users create affiliate programs product by product, define percentage or flat-fee commissions, require a terms and conditions page or invite questionnaire before approving affiliates, and pay commissions through Stripe or PayPal. Affiliates get a dashboard with promotional links, banners, and performance stats, while merchants track sales, rebills, commissions, and conversion ratios.

Affiliate management is only available on Kartra's Growth plan and above, not on the entry-level Essentials or Starter tiers. Kartra's own pricing page lists four plans billed monthly or annually, with the annual option offering a discount. All plans come with a 14-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee, and pricing is charged in USD regardless of which of Kartra's 21 supported storefront currencies a customer uses.

Partnerize is a partnership management platform used by more than 1,800 global brands to discover, track, manage, and pay affiliate, influencer, and other partner types. It offers discovery and recruitment tools, flexible tracking and attribution, dynamic commissioning, brand safety and fraud monitoring powered by BrandVerity, global partner payments, and real-time analytics and reporting.

Partnerize does not publish fixed pricing tiers on its site. Instead it uses a custom quotation model combining a platform license fee, a performance-based fee, or a mix of both, with cost depending on factors such as whether full program management or platform-only access is needed. Third-party industry sources estimate a starting cost around $2,000 per month, but this figure is not confirmed on Partnerize's own site, since pricing is only shared after a sales inquiry using a business email address.
