Affonso vs Rewardful (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Affonso if

• Fits if you sell SaaS and pay affiliates out of Stripe-style payments
• Works for a small program under $1,000 a month in partner revenue

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if your program grows, as every plan has a cap on monthly partner revenue
• Skip it if you want managed payouts or private programs on the cheapest plan, since those start at Growth
• Pricey if you want your branding only: removing Affonso's costs Elite at $79
• Watch out: Launch is $15 only on yearly billing, and only Launch shows a monthly price

Pick Rewardful if

• Fits if you run a SaaS on Stripe or Paddle and want commissions to follow each subscription
• Works for a first affiliate program under $7,500 a month of affiliate revenue

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you run a Shopify store, as it reads sales through Stripe or Paddle
• Tight if you want a branded portal on your own domain or more than one campaign, which start on Growth at $99 a month
• Not for you if you want to pick up the phone for support, which is Enterprise only
• Watch out: Starter stops at $7,500 a month of affiliate revenue, and passing it moves you up a tier
• Watch out: Managed Payouts cost 3% of payouts, and affiliates may pay withdrawal fees

Affonso

• Each plan has a cap on monthly partner revenue, so the plan has to be raised as the program grows.
• Managed payouts, private programs and custom domains are not part of Launch; removing Affonso branding needs Elite.
• Prices are shown on a yearly-billing basis; only Launch shows a monthly-billed price ($19).
• Affiliate discovery and email finder credits are limited per year on every plan.

Rewardful

• Plans are capped by affiliate-attributed revenue: Starter stops at $7,500 a month, and higher revenue moves you to a higher tier.
• Rewardful takes 0% of revenue, but optional Managed Payouts cost 3% of payouts, and affiliates may pay withdrawal fees.
• Starter has one campaign and two team members; a branded portal, custom domain and invite-only campaigns need Growth.
• Phone support and one-click PayPal payouts are on Enterprise only.

Affonso

Link and coupon tracking

Referrals are tracked through personalized links or coupon codes, with sub-ID tracking, deep links, QR codes and a setting to bypass ad blockers.

Commission rules

Recurring or one-time commissions, pay-per-lead, multi-level commissions, partner-specific rules and non-monetary rewards, with currency conversion.

Managed payouts

On Growth and above, Affonso pays affiliates for you. Payout routes listed include PayPal, Wise and wire transfer, and W-8/W-9 tax forms can be collected.

Partner portal

A branded portal where partners see their activity, with a creative library, several languages and an embeddable referral dashboard.

Fraud protection

A risk center with self-referral and disposable-email detection, paid-traffic detection, and automatic handling of chargebacks and refunds.

Affiliate discovery

An internal marketplace and a discovery agent help find affiliates, including those already promoting competitors. Credits are capped per year by plan.

Rewardful

Stripe and Paddle billing sync

Commissions adjust on their own when a referred customer upgrades, downgrades, cancels, gets a refund or starts a free trial, and Rewardful data shows inside the Stripe dashboard.

Links and coupon codes

Affiliate links work on any page of your site through a URL parameter such as ?via=name, and coupon codes credit influencers where links cannot be used.

Flexible commissions

Set percentage or fixed commissions, one-time or recurring, with your own cookie length, first- or last-touch attribution, double-sided incentives and minimum payout thresholds.

Affiliate portal

Affiliates sign up and find their links, codes, earnings and an assets library of logos and copy; Growth and Enterprise brand it on your own domain.

Payouts

Pay affiliates in bulk through PayPal or Wise, or hand payouts to Rewardful's Managed Payouts, which charges a 3% processing fee.

Fraud checks and API

Suspected self-referrals are flagged and deactivated automatically, and a REST API on every plan supports a white-labeled program.
