Affiliate Software Comparisons: Every Head-to-Head and Alternatives Page (Updated Monthly)
Every affiliate software comparison on the Affitor blog in one table: head-to-heads like Rewardful vs Dub, alternatives pages and the 19-tool roundup, with one line on who each tool suits. Prices checked October 12, 2026; updated monthly.
Updated Oct 13, 2026
Pick the pair you are weighing. Each row links the full comparison and says in one line who each tool suits, with the price and the limit that decide it. Prices in the table were checked on Oct 12, 2026 against each vendor's pricing page, which the tool name links to. We update this hub monthly. Each linked page shows its own check date at the top; where a page is older than this table, the table is the newer check.
We make Affitor, which appears in these comparisons: $0 until a program has made $10,000 through affiliates, then 3.5% of affiliate-driven sales.

How we compare
Every price, fee and cap comes from the vendor's own pricing page or docs, with the date we checked it. Where a vendor does not publish something, the page says so instead of guessing. Caps are named for what they count: affiliate revenue for Rewardful, FirstPromoter and Tolt, partner payouts for Dub Partners. To start a program on Affitor, create your program, or read the docs first.
