Affilae vs Tapfiliate (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Affilae if

• Fits if you want affiliates and influencers tracked in one place
• Works for brands paying per validated sale

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if your sales are large, because each plan also takes a percentage of validated sales
• Watch out: prices exclude tax and the trial month needs a 3-month commitment
• Not for you if you pay per lead, as that needs a custom offer
• Tight if you want to automate, since API access starts at Grow

Pick Tapfiliate if

• Fits if you run both a SaaS and a store and want one affiliate tool for both
• Works for European companies paying affiliates by SEPA transfer

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you have more than 50 affiliates, as Launch stops there
• Tight if you pass 150 affiliates, as Scale stops there and more needs Enterprise
• Pricey if you need a few team members, as Launch has one and Scale is $149 a month yearly
• Watch out: past Launch's 5,000 clicks and 500 conversions it's $1.50 per 1,000 clicks and $15 per 1,000 conversions
• Tight if you want MLM or automated payouts, which need Scale, or full white label, which needs Enterprise
