Solid Affiliate vs WP Affiliate Manager (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Solid Affiliate if

• Fits if you run a WooCommerce store and want your own affiliate program
• Works for agencies that manage several stores and can take the Pro plan

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you are not on WooCommerce, since the vendor says other platforms need a different tool
• Skip it if you want to try it first, because there is no free plan or trial
• Pricey if you are one store, at $374 a year after the first year for 1 site
• Watch out: Starter and Expert lock features, and only Pro has the fraud suite, lifetime commissions and white-label area
• Watch out: the lower first-year prices are described as limited, and renewals are at the regular price

Pick WP Affiliate Manager if

• Fits if you run WordPress and want to start an affiliate program for nothing
• Works for membership or course sites on MemberPress or LifterLMS

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you are not on WordPress, as there is no hosted version
• Skip it if you need support beyond forums, because premium support needs the $39 or $97 edition
• Watch out: the page does not say whether the $39 and $97 prices are one-time or yearly
• Watch out: WooCommerce coupon tracking and product-specific commission are premium add-ons priced separately
