Who Dub Partners is for

  • Fits if you already use Dub links and want partners on the same tools
  • Works for developer-led teams that will use the API

Who it is not for

  • Pricey if you pay out a lot: a 5% fee applies on Business and Advanced, on top of the plan
  • Tight if you grow, as Business stops at $30K of payouts a year, 500 partners and 3 groups
  • Watch out: the Advanced cap shows as $60K on one card and $180K in the comparison table
  • Skip it if you want a monthly price, as the $81 and $270 are yearly-billing figures

Good to know

Good for

  • Startups moving from Rewardful, PartnerStack or FirstPromoter, which Dub shows case studies for
  • Programs that want link tracking and partner management in one product
  • Teams that want creator and influencer partnerships alongside affiliates

Worth knowing

  • Plans are capped by partner payouts per year (Business: $30K); the Advanced cap is shown as $60K on one card and $180K in the comparison table.
  • Business is limited to 500 partners and 3 partner groups; the embedded dashboard and email campaigns need Advanced.
  • The $81 and $270 prices are on the yearly option (10% off); the monthly-billed prices were not readable.
  • Payouts carry a 5% fee on Business and Advanced, on top of the subscription.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

To replace Dub Partners 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.

It costs $972 a year.

What you could not

  • Payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms.
  • Every click and sale traced back to the right partner.
  • A tracking script and a database that counts every visit.
  • An API that other software can build on.
  • AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.

What this rests on. Dub Partners’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.
