Our thinking on affiliate programs, partner networks and AI search, and what the product ships.
No managed payouts, no Amazon channel, no agency services, no percentage pricing. Saying no is most of the product.
A competitor shipped the feature we think matters most. Here is what it does, where it stops, and what we do differently.
The difference is who the partner belongs to. In software, each brand has its own list. In a network, the partner has one account and a track record that travels.
Platforms that collect from brands and pay partners become banks, with the licensing, float risk and delays that implies. The CSV is better.
Three models exist: flat tiers by partner revenue, a percentage of commission, or a quote. Here is what each costs at $5,000, $20,000 and $50,000 a month.
Affiliate software tracks partners you already have. Nobody helps a small SaaS find the first twenty. That gap is the company.
