How we grade them
| 2.0GPARefersionFair | 2.2GPASuperfiliateFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CGraded on $5,000 a month of affiliate sales: Launch is $29 a month on yearly billing plus 3% of those sales ($150), so $179 a month. That's on the dear side here, where tools with no cut cost less at this size. Monthly billing makes Launch $39. | FGraded on a store whose affiliates bring in $5,000 a month: Tier 1 is $1,500 plus 3% of that ($150), so $1,650 a month, with no yearly price. That's about a third of what the affiliates sell. Even against the Shopify creator apps it's listed with, it's far dearer than any with a published price. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan or trial on the pricing page. The free Marketplace Listing only shows your offer: tracking sales, approving affiliates and paying them all need a paid plan. | CNo free plan, but the Shopify App Store listing shows a 21-day free trial on every tier. Whether it wants a card, the listing doesn't say. |
| Features | BPlug-in apps for four store platforms, tracking by link and code (and by email or SKU on Growth), product-level and lifetime commissions, a marketplace, post-purchase recruiting, and payouts by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, ACH or gift card with US tax forms. The whole job. | AAffiliates, creators, ambassadors and referring customers each get a cobranded page with their own codes, plus gifting, social listening, TikTok Shop collabs and payouts with tax filings done. Launching Meta Partnership Ads from inside it is something no other tool here lists. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. It's a plug-in on Shopify or BigCommerce, and coupons are made for you there, but you still set commissions, recruit affiliates and set up payouts. | CNo App Store rating on record. It installs on Shopify, but there are programs, gifting, outreach automations and ad access to set up before it earns its fee. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, with Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce and Magento, plus Stripe, Chargebee, Klaviyo and Mailchimp. The API and 30+ integrations wait for Growth. No desktop or phone app, so B is the top. | BWeb, as a Shopify app, with Klaviyo, Attentive, Postscript, ReCharge, Triple Whale, TikTok Shop and PayPal. It names no store platform other than Shopify, and there's no desktop or phone app, which an A needs. |
| Best for | affiliate programs for stores on several platforms | creator and affiliate programs for big Shopify brands |
