Affise vs Kintura (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Affise if

• Fits if you run an affiliate network or media-buying operation with real volume
• Makes sense if you can sign a contract to get the lower price

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you're small: $499 a month is the floor and $625 without a contract
• Tight if you pass 7,000 conversions or 50 offers on Beginner
• Watch out: the contract length isn't stated, and overage prices aren't listed
• Not for you if you want a free plan, as only a 14-day trial is shown

Pick Kintura if

• Fits if you buy ad traffic and want a tracker that adjusts routes for you
• Works for one-person operations that stay under 1,000,000 events a month

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want one domain and one user to grow, as the free plan stops there
• Pricey if you scale, as Basic is $159 a month and overage is $0.020 to $0.025 per 1,000 events
• Watch out: ad spend above the optimizer allowance is charged at 0.5% to 1%
• Watch out: refunds are reviewed case by case and generally not given

Affise

• The page says plans can be discounted 7% on a yearly plan.
• Beginner is limited to 7,000 conversions and 50 offers, and lacks smartlinks, click caps and advertiser caps.
• Higher conversion or impression volumes than the plan includes need a custom plan; the page does not list overage prices.

• The free Growth plan is limited to 1 domain, 1 user and 1,000,000 events a month.
• Refunds are reviewed case by case and generally not given unless traffic loss occurred.
• Several traffic-source connectors are listed as in progress, not live.
