Frequently asked questions

Why is SaaS good for affiliates?

Subscriptions renew, so eligible referrals can earn repeat commissions when customers keep paying. Some programs cap the payout window, so check the terms.

What churn should I expect?

Retention varies by product and audience. Check whether renewal commissions stop after a set payout window rather than assuming they last for the customer's lifetime.

Which SaaS program has the longest cookie?

HubSpot and Simplero list 180-day cookies. Check the individual program pages for current terms.

Some tools get listed as 2-tier when they are not. See the myths page for the distinction, and our methodology for how each rate here was checked.
