SliceWP is a WordPress affiliate plugin with a free edition on WordPress.org and paid bundles that add payouts, multi-level affiliates and reports. It only runs inside WordPress, and PayPal and Stripe payouts are not in the free edition. - **Value for money: B.** Pro is $229 a year for 1 site at renewal, about $19 a month, inside the cheaper quarter of affiliate tools. A lifetime licence is $589, and the first-year sale price of $169 does not carry over to renewals. - **Free plan and trial: B.** The free edition has unlimited affiliates, approvals, an affiliate area and commission tracking, so a small program can run on it. PayPal and Stripe payouts, reports and multi-level affiliates are paid add-ons. - **Features: B.** Commission rates by affiliate and product, recurring commissions, bulk payouts, reports, CSV export and a REST API. The listing names no gap in the core job, though most of it sits in the paid bundles. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. It is a plugin you install and configure on your own WordPress site, with its own affiliate pages and store plugin to connect. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, inside WordPress, with WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, PayPal, Stripe and three email tools, plus a REST API.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 88 of the 89 other affiliate and referral tools we grade. It costs $229 a year. - You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms. - You could not: Every click and sale traced back to the right partner. - You could not: It plugs into other products, WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads and PayPal among them, and has an API. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
