Thinkific Affiliate Program

Thinkific is a course platform that competes head to head with Teachable and Kajabi, with a strong free plan, communities, memberships, a mobile app builder and Thinkific Plus for larger organisations. It is often the recommendation for creators who want more control over branding and site design than Teachable offers.

The affiliate program pays 30 percent recurring for the lifetime of each referral on all monthly and annual paid plans, for as long as the customer stays active. Plus plan referrals pay a flat $150 a month instead, and Thinkific says a single referral can be worth up to $1,800. The cookie is 90 days. The program runs on PartnerStack, applications are reviewed, and payouts go out on the 13th of each month by PayPal, Stripe or direct deposit once you have $25, one of the lowest thresholds in the category.

Lifetime recurring with a 90 day cookie is the best combination among the big three course platforms, which is why Thinkific features so heavily in comparison content.

Thinkific converts from Teachable versus Thinkific comparisons, course platform roundups, how to launch a course tutorials and content aimed at businesses building customer education. The Plus bounty rewards affiliates who reach corporate training buyers.
