Launch and scale your affiliate program with AFFY. Track referrals, automate payouts, and manage partners with our intuitive affiliate management software.
FirstPromoter has no mobile management workflow, locks invoices and tax forms behind its highest tiers, and gives you 14 days to evaluate. AFFY ships a Telegram bot for instant approvals, auto-generates invoices on every plan, and starts at €29/mo with 2 months PRO free.
FirstPromoter tracks affiliates well — but several structural limitations become painful as your program grows.
Managing commissions at FirstPromoter means opening a browser and logging into the dashboard. There is no way to approve, reject, or monitor your affiliate program from your phone on the go. AFFY ships a Telegram bot that handles everything — approve a commission, onboard an affiliate, watch conversions come in — all from a Telegram message.
1099-NEC forms and W-9/W-8BEN collection are only available through FirstPromoter's Enterprise 2 managed payout tier, which routes money through Dots.dev. If you want to keep your existing payout workflow, you handle tax forms yourself. AFFY includes W-9, W-8BEN, and 1099-NEC generation at the Premium plan — no third-party paymaster required.
Affiliate invoicing at FirstPromoter (EU self-billing VAT invoices, invoice downloads) is an Enterprise-tier feature. Every affiliate on every plan at AFFY gets a PDF invoice generated automatically when they are paid — no upgrade required.
FirstPromoter sends emails — but has no native Slack integration. AFFY connects to your Slack workspace and sends a notification every time a new lead or conversion comes in. Your whole team sees affiliate activity in real time, in the channel they already use.
FirstPromoter's free trial is 14 days. That's often not long enough to connect a payment processor, onboard real affiliates, and see meaningful commission data. AFFY gives you 2 full months of the PRO plan — free, no credit card — so you can evaluate with real traffic and real results.

No other affiliate platform has this. AFFY's Telegram bot brings your entire affiliate program to your phone. New affiliate applied? Tap Approve or Reject in the notification. New conversion came in? You see it in real time. You never need to open a browser to keep your program running.
FirstPromoter only handles W-9, W-8BEN, and 1099 forms through its Enterprise 2 managed payout tier, where FirstPromoter becomes your paymaster via Dots.dev. If you want to keep paying affiliates yourself, you're on your own for tax forms. AFFY includes these directly — no third-party paymaster, no plan lock.
At FirstPromoter, affiliate invoice generation (EU self-billing invoices) is an Enterprise-tier feature. At AFFY, every payout automatically generates a PDF invoice that is emailed to both you and the affiliate — on every plan, no upgrade required. Affiliates can also download past invoices from their portal at any time.
AFFY's entry plan is 40% less than FirstPromoter's, and the 2-month PRO free trial gives you real time to evaluate with actual affiliate traffic.

The typical migration takes under an hour. New commissions go to AFFY from day one; historical data stays in FirstPromoter for reference.
In FirstPromoter, go to Promoters → Export. Download the CSV with affiliate names, emails, and commission settings. You'll use this to recreate affiliates in AFFY.
Sign up for AFFY (2-month PRO trial, no credit card). Use Affiliates → Import CSV to bulk-upload your list. Affiliates receive an invitation email with their new portal link.
Remove the FirstPromoter script tag from your site's <head> and replace it with the AFFY tracking snippet. Both are a single line — no other code changes needed.
In AFFY Settings → Integration, connect Stripe (or Paddle / Chargebee) via OAuth. AFFY registers the webhook automatically. FirstPromoter can stay connected in parallel during the transition.
Send affiliates an email with their new AFFY portal URL and updated tracking links. The affiliate portal is white-labeled — it will match your brand automatically.
Start your free 2-month PRO trial — no credit card required. Connect your payment processor in minutes and have your first affiliates tracking the same day.
Migration support available — contact support@affy.pro if you need help.
