Commission Factory report card
Weak · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for an affiliate platform in Australia and New Zealand
Commission Factory runs an affiliate marketplace with commission rules and coupon tracking. Core is AU$349 a month plus a 2% fee on transactions, and some tracking features need the quote-only top plan.
Who Commission Factory is for
- Fits if you sell to Australian shoppers and want local partners
- Works for brands that want coupon tracking
Who Commission Factory is not for
- Pricey if you are small, because Core is AU$349 a month before the 2% fee
- Watch out: prices are in Australian dollars
- Watch out: service plans for account management are priced separately and not listed
- Tight if you need attribution depth, as multi-touch and custom reports are on Elevate
Why Commission Factory gets a 1.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneyCore is AU$349 a month plus a 2% tracking fee, well above the $69 middle for affiliate tools, and Grow is AU$999.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan or trial on the listing, so you pay before you can try it.
- CFeaturesA marketplace, an AI assistant, coupon and clickless tracking and commission rules. Multi-touch attribution and custom reports are on the quote-only Elevate plan.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You set up accounts and programs before it does anything, so there is a learning curve.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, and the listing names no integrations.

Keep Commission Factory, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Commission Factory you would be making payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 87 of the 89 other affiliate and referral tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms.
- Every click and sale traced back to the right partner.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Commission Factory’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
