Affiliate dashboard
Affiliates log in to see clicks, sales, creative assets and payments. Merchants manage applications and see real-time reports in WordPress.

Payouts
Pay affiliates with PayPal one-click payouts, generate a PayPal mass payment file, or pay manually. The vendor charges no per-payout fees.

The report card
Best for affiliate programs on WordPress membership sites
Easy Affiliate is a WordPress plugin that runs an affiliate program on your own site, with tracking, applications and PayPal payouts. It only runs inside WordPress, there is no free plan or trial, and the plan that adds the API and commission rules costs $499 a year at renewal.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Basic is $249 a year for 1 site, about $20.75 a month, just inside the cheaper quarter of affiliate tools ($31.17 a month). The first year is $99.60, but renewals go back to full price. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial. The page offers a 14-day refund policy, which is not the same thing. |
| Features | C | Tracking, applications, PayPal payouts, recurring commissions and fraud flags. Payouts are built around PayPal, and multi-level commissions, fraud detection and the API are locked to Plus and Pro. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It is a plugin you install and set up on a WordPress site that meets PHP and MySQL minimums, then connect to your cart or membership plugin. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, inside WordPress, but it connects to MemberPress, WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, PayPal and four email tools, with an API on Pro. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Easy Affiliate is for
- Fits if you sell memberships on MemberPress and want affiliates tracked on your own domain
- Works for WooCommerce stores that would rather pay a yearly licence than a monthly platform fee
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you are not on WordPress, as it does not run anywhere else
- Skip it if you want to try before paying, because there is no free plan or trial
- Pricey if you read the headline price, since $99.60 is the first year only and $249 is what you pay after
- Watch out: multi-level commissions and fraud detection need Plus at $374, and the API and commission rules need Pro at $499
- Tight if you pay affiliates by anything other than PayPal, as other methods mean a mass payment file or doing it by hand
Good to know
Good for
- WordPress membership sites and WooCommerce stores
- Merchants who want no monthly platform fee or per-payout fee
- Sellers who want affiliate data to stay on their own site
Worth knowing
- Runs only inside WordPress; the requirements page lists WordPress 6.0, PHP 7.4 and MySQL 8.0 or newer.
- The listed plan prices are the annual renewal prices; the lower prices on the page are introductory first-year prices.
- Multi-level commissions, fraud detection and email integrations need Plus; the API and commission rules need Pro.
- Payouts are built around PayPal; other methods mean a mass payment file or manual payment.

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 Easy Affiliate 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 $249 a year.
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.
- It plugs into other products, MemberPress, WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Easy Affiliate’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.
