Launch and scale your affiliate program with AFFY. Track referrals, automate payouts, and manage partners with our intuitive affiliate management software.

PartnerStack Alternative

PartnerStack is Enterprise Software. Your Affiliate Program Doesn't Have to Be.

PartnerStack requires a sales call, an annual contract, and an enterprise budget. AFFY runs your affiliate program in minutes — no call, no contract, no five-figure invoice. Starting at €29/mo.

PartnerStack is built for partner teams, not affiliate programs

PartnerStack excels at complex multi-tier partner ecosystems. Most SaaS companies don't need that — they need a clean affiliate program that attributes sales and pays commissions.

PartnerStack model

No public pricing

Book a demo, go through a sales cycle, receive a custom quote. Typical entry contracts start in the thousands per month.

Annual contracts

You commit to a year upfront. If your program doesn't grow as expected, you've already paid.

74-day average time to go live

PartnerStack's own data: 74 days average from signup to live program. Enterprise onboarding, implementation calls, and setup reviews add up.

Designed for partner ecosystems, not affiliate programs

Resellers, ISVs, co-sell motions, marketplace recruits — powerful if you need all that. Overkill if you just want affiliates tracked and paid.

No GDPR affiliate portal

Affiliate GDPR self-service (data export, erasure) is not a built-in feature despite it being a legal requirement for EU-facing programs.

Non-configurable fraud rules

Fraud decisions are made platform-wide by PartnerStack's Sift system. No per-program rule configuration — legitimate partners can be incorrectly flagged with no operator override.

AFFY model

€29/mo — publicly listed

No sales call. Sign up, enter a card, and start. Pricing is on the website.

Month-to-month, cancel any time

No annual commitment. No lock-in. If AFFY stops working for you, cancel with one click.

Live in minutes

Connect your payment processor via OAuth, paste one script tag, invite your first affiliate. The whole setup fits in a lunch break.

Purpose-built for SaaS affiliate programs

Webhooks from Stripe, Paddle, and Chargebee. Commissions created and reversed automatically. Clean affiliate portal.

GDPR portal included

Affiliates download their data and submit erasure requests through a built-in portal. EU compliance out of the box.

Self-billing invoices at every payout

PDF invoice generated and emailed to operator and affiliate automatically at each payout. No manual invoicing, no paperwork.

Telegram bot — manage from your phone

Approve applications and monitor conversions via Telegram. No competitor offers this. No dashboard needed.

The pricing gap is not small

PartnerStack serves enterprise partner programs that justify the cost. Most SaaS affiliate programs don't — and there's no reason to pay enterprise rates for affiliate tracking.
