Best FirstPromoter alternatives in 2026: 9 tools, their prices and limits

The best FirstPromoter alternative is the tool whose limit you hit last. FirstPromoter Starter costs $49 and covers up to $5,000 of monthly revenue from affiliates, and Business costs $99 for up to $15,000.

TrackRev caps neither revenue nor commission, while Rewardful, Tolt, Reditus, Tapfiliate, LeadDyno, Dub Partners and Affonso each meter something different, and TUNE is built for partner networks.

We built TrackRev for exactly this: affiliate software for indie hackers and small SaaS teams, with link tracking and revenue attribution built in, 0% fees and no cap on tracked revenue.

Prices are each vendor's published rate in October 2026, per month unless stated.

What do FirstPromoter's plans limit?

FirstPromoter is an affiliate platform whose pricing page sizes each plan by the monthly revenue your affiliates generate, and total revenue never enters it.

Starter ($49, or $490 a year) covers $5,000, up to 1,000 affiliates, 3 campaigns and 1 website. Business ($99, $990 a year) covers $15,000 and lifts the affiliate and campaign limits.

Enterprise ($149, $1,490 a year) starts above $15,000 and adds 3 websites. A 14-day trial needs no card, and the page lists no free plan.

The plan decides features as well. A custom dashboard domain, white-labeling, the embedded dashboard and one-click PayPal payouts begin on Business, while a postback URL, SSO and activity logs need Enterprise.

How do FirstPromoter alternatives compare on price and what each plan counts?

In return, FirstPromoter's plans give you connectors for Stripe, Paddle, Chargebee, Recurly and Braintree, click credit for up to 9,999 days, payouts through PayPal, Wise, Stripe, crypto and bank transfer in 190 currencies, W-9 and W-8BEN collection, and commission across 3 levels of sub-affiliates.

Recurly and Braintree are the connectors to check before you compare prices. FirstPromoter names both, LeadDyno names Recurly, and no other page I read names either.

At the $99 tier the Stripe-first tools line up: FirstPromoter Business and Rewardful Growth cover $15,000 each, and Tolt Growth covers $20,000.

Below that tier the gap is $20 and a few thousand dollars of ceiling, so features and connectors decide more than price.

How do cookie windows work on Safari?

A cookie window is the number of days a tool credits a click, and the browser sets how long the click ID survives.

WebKit's tracking prevention page says Intelligent Tracking Prevention deletes cookies created in JavaScript, and other script-writeable storage, after 7 days of no user interaction with the site.

Any window backed by a script-written cookie, TrackRev's pixel cookie included, ends after 7 days on Safari for a visitor who doesn't come back in that time, whether the setting reads 3,650 days or FirstPromoter's 9,999.

LeadDyno has a different exposure: its cookie documentation says the tracking cookies sit under LeadDyno's domain, so browsers treat them as third-party cookies on your site.

Which nine tools are worth comparing?

1. Is TrackRev the pick for programs that compare partners with other channels?

TrackRev is an affiliate platform for indie hackers and small SaaS teams, with link tracking and revenue attribution built in and 0% fees on tracked revenue.

Plans are Indie at $29 a month (1 workspace, 1 tracked domain, owner only) and Growth at $299 a year (up to 10 workspaces, up to 10 tracked domains, unlimited team members).

Every paid plan has unlimited partners and programs, multi-tier commissions, cash or credit rewards, white-label partner pages and unlimited tracking links. No plan caps the revenue or commission tracked.

Partner links are tracked redirects that log the click server-side, and one first-party pixel ties the visit to the charge.

In our product, each program sets its own cookie window from 1 to 3,650 days (60 by default) and a hold period from 0 to 180 days (default 0).

Stripe, Paddle Billing, Polar, Lemon Squeezy, Creem and Dodo Payments supply the revenue, and refunds and disputes reverse commission.

Partner links are ordinary tracked links, so newsletter, YouTube and paid links land in the same report, with last click, first click or shared credit chosen per workspace.

How does TrackRev pay partners?

Payouts are a batch: you export a PayPal or Wise CSV, pay it and mark each payout paid, with W-9 and W-8 forms uploaded at partner onboarding.

We built payouts as a CSV export, so you send the money yourself and no payout fee is added on top of commission. The free plan covers link tracking (50 links, 1,000 events), and the program begins on Indie.

TrackRev against FirstPromoter lines up the features, and the affiliate program page lists the rest.

2. Is Rewardful the pick for Stripe programs between $5,000 and $7,500?

Rewardful is a Stripe-first affiliate tool whose Starter plan costs the same $49 as FirstPromoter Starter and covers $7,500 of affiliate-attributed revenue, against $5,000.

It also has 1 campaign, 2 team members, and no branded portal, custom domain, private campaigns or custom rewards. Those arrive on Growth ($99, $15,000), and Enterprise starts at $149 for up to $30,000.

Every plan has unlimited affiliates and a 0% transaction fee, and annual billing gives 12 months for the price of 10.

Its integrations page counts more than 20 connections. PayPal and Wise mass payouts come with every plan, optional Managed Payouts adds a 3% processing fee, and self-referral detection is standard. First or last touch attribution is your choice.

Rewardful vs TrackRev sets it against my product.

3. Is Tolt the pick for programs under $10,000 that want a custom domain early?

Tolt is an affiliate platform whose Basic plan costs $69 and covers $10,000 "earned from affiliates", double FirstPromoter Starter's limit for $20 more.

It includes a custom domain, a branded portal, 2 programs, 3 partner groups and 3 team members, with manual payouts.

Growth ($99, $20,000) adds automatic payouts at a 2% processing fee, W-9 and W-8 collection and 1099 filing, and Pro is $199 for $50,000.

The pricing page lists Chargebee beside Stripe and Paddle, though its FAQ names only the last two, so confirm it before relying on it.

The phrase "earned from affiliates" could mean revenue or commission, so ask which before sizing a plan. For a Stripe SaaS with a few affiliates paid through PayPal, Tolt is the nearest swap for FirstPromoter Starter.

Tolt vs TrackRev has the head-to-head with mine.

4. Is Reditus the pick for B2B SaaS that wants affiliates to find you?

Reditus is a B2B SaaS affiliate network which sells recruitment on top of tracking. Growth is $99 on a yearly plan ($1,188 a year, or $149 monthly) for up to $60K ARR.

Scale Up is $399 on an annual plan, up to $360K ARR, with a marketplace listing, a vetted affiliate database and a dedicated account manager.

The page counts 27,000+ B2B SaaS affiliates in the network and gives Growth 1 AI affiliate search a month. Annual plans include a free migration.

Other processors connect through its API, and automated payouts cost 5% by card or 2% by invoice. Its FAQ says consumer and ecommerce companies probably don't fit. Pick it when you have few partners and want help finding more.

With partners already in hand, FirstPromoter is cheaper. Reditus vs TrackRev weighs it against mine.

5. Can Tapfiliate run a store and a subscription product on one tool?

Tapfiliate is an affiliate platform which prices traffic as well as affiliates. Launch is $89 ($74 on a yearly plan) for 1 program, 1 team member, 50 affiliates, 5,000 clicks and 500 conversions.

Overage runs $1.50 per 1,000 clicks and $15 per 1,000 conversions, so 20,000 clicks add $22.50. Scale is $179 ($149 yearly) for unlimited affiliates and programs, 100,000 clicks, 10,000 conversions, multi-level commissions and Trolley payouts.

Tracking runs through a JavaScript pixel, a REST API or server-to-server postbacks, plus coupons, and the pricing page counts 30+ integrations including Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and Magento.

Launch costs $40 more than FirstPromoter Starter, and the premium pays off when a store sits next to the subscription product and one tool has to cover both. The Tapfiliate alternative breakdown goes deeper.

6. Is LeadDyno a fit for few affiliates and large revenue?

LeadDyno is an affiliate platform which doesn't meter revenue.

Every plan has unlimited clicks and conversions, and the limit is active affiliates: Lite is $49 for 50, Essential $129 for 150, Advanced $349 for 500 and Unlimited $749, and yearly billing takes 15% off.

Thirty affiliates bringing in $20,000 fit Lite, while FirstPromoter prices that revenue at Enterprise, $149. Multi-level commissions and a custom dashboard domain start on Essential, per-product commissions and white-labeling on Advanced.

Its integrations page counts 25+ direct connections. The cost is tracking: with cookies under LeadDyno's domain, a visitor who blocks third-party cookies can't be matched to an affiliate. It suits a store-heavy program with a small, high-volume partner list.

7. Is Dub Partners a fit for teams that already run links on Dub?

Dub Partners is a partner program tool which starts at $90 on Business and meters partner payouts: $2.5K of them, 500 partners and 3 partner groups.

Advanced is $300 for $15K of payouts, unlimited partners, an embedded referral dashboard, email campaigns and risk monitoring, and Enterprise is by quote with unlimited payouts. Against FirstPromoter Starter it costs $41 more and counts payouts where FirstPromoter counts revenue.

Dub's FAQ says that once you reach the payout limit you can't send payouts until the next billing period, so size the plan to commission.

Dub sends the payouts itself. Its payout guide lists ACH at 5% on Business and Advanced (3% on Enterprise), arriving in up to 4 business days, and cards at 8%, instantly.

Holding periods run 0 to 90 days, and a Stripe refund marks the matching commission refunded. Native sale tracking covers Stripe and Shopify, with the API for other systems.

If you cover the ACH fee, it adds $90 on $1,800 of commission, doubling the $90 plan's cost.

8. Does Affonso have the lowest entry price?

Affonso is an affiliate platform with the lowest list prices here. Launch is $15 billed yearly ($19 monthly) for $1,000 of partner revenue.

Growth, $29 billed yearly, covers $10,000 and adds managed payouts, private programs, a custom domain and 5 team seats. Elite is $79 for $30,000 with unlimited seats and no "Powered by" link.

Every plan has unlimited affiliates, programs and tracked clicks, and early-stage startups get 50% off the first year.

Growth costs $348 a year for a $10,000 ceiling, against $490 a year for FirstPromoter Starter's $5,000. The integrations page lists 5 native payment processors and an API for the rest.

Fraud checks cover self-referrals, disposable emails, paid traffic and duplicate payout methods.

9. Is TUNE built for partner networks and media buyers?

TUNE is a partner network platform which sells to advertisers and networks. Scale is $1,500 paid annually with 2,500 conversions included, partner payments and onboarding are fee based, and a Contract tier is by quote.

That is more than 30 times FirstPromoter Starter.

The price covers infrastructure: an API with over 650 endpoints, native postbacks across mobile and web, SOC 2 Type II and SOC 1 Type II certification, and marketplace access with extra network fees.

A SaaS with 30 affiliates and a Stripe account would carry machinery it never uses. TUNE pays off when media buyers and affiliate networks send the traffic and you need postbacks and partner-level controls.

What does a $9,000-a-month program cost on each plan?

Each vendor meters something different, so one program lands on different plans, and TrackRev's figure comes from our own pricing page. Take affiliates who bring in $9,000 of revenue at a 20% commission ($1,800), with 60 active affiliates, billed monthly.

Reditus caps annual recurring revenue, $60K on Growth, so a monthly figure needs a question about how it counts, and TUNE starts at $1,500, so neither fits this comparison.

On Tolt, automatic payouts need Growth at $99 plus a 2% fee, which is $36 on $1,800. Against FirstPromoter Business, TrackRev Indie saves $70, or $840 a year, and has no revenue or commission limit to pass.

How do you move off FirstPromoter?

• Export the Promoters list from the campaign as CSV, keeping the referral code, promo code and current balance columns.
• Settle each balance in FirstPromoter, or carry it over. TrackRev's importer brings affiliates, referral and coupon codes, approval status, payout emails and unpaid balances, reuses each promoter's code as their link slug, and leaves order history behind. Reditus says affiliates keep their links through a 30-day cookie transition window.
• Connect billing and install the new script, then buy your cheapest plan through a partner link in a private window and refund it. The commission should appear and then reverse.
• Keep FirstPromoter running until the refund window has passed on the last commissions it recorded, because reversals on those sales still happen there. How refund clawbacks work covers the mechanics.
