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

Pick Affiliatly if

• Fits if you run a small online store and want a free way to try affiliate tracking
• Works for stores with fewer than 50 affiliates

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you pass 50 tracked orders, which is the end of the free plan
• Skip it if you want a branded portal or staff accounts, which need Advanced at $24
• Watch out: auto-apply coupons and per-SKU commissions depend on your store integration
• Pricey if you grow: plans are capped by affiliate count, from 50 to 2,500 and then unlimited at $129

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
