Who is AFFY built for?

AFFY is purpose-built for SaaS and subscription businesses running their own affiliate program.

SaaS companies on Stripe, Paddle, or Chargebee

AFFY listens directly to payment webhook events from all three processors. Commissions are created on checkout, updated on renewal, and reversed on refund — automatically, with no redirect infrastructure or postbacks required.

Teams that want to manage their program on the go

AFFY's Telegram bot sends instant notifications for affiliate applications, conversions, and payout events — with inline buttons to approve or reject. You don't need to open a dashboard. No competitor ships this.

Programs that need tax and GDPR compliance out of the box

W-9 and W-8BEN forms are collected automatically before affiliates can be paid. 1099-NEC PDFs are generated on the Premium plan. Affiliates have a self-service GDPR portal for data access and erasure. All of this is built in — no third-party tools, no custom development.

Growing programs that can't justify $329+/mo just to get started

TrackDesk's entry plan costs $329/mo and caps your affiliate-driven revenue at $30K/month. AFFY starts at €29/mo with no revenue caps and gives you 2 full months of PRO free to evaluate. You pay for features you actually use, not a network platform you don't need.
