Affiliatly

Affiliatly is a long running affiliate management tool that prices by how many affiliates you have rather than how much revenue they generate, which suits stores with a small, productive partner list.

The ladder runs from a free plan through Starter at $16 a month for 50 affiliates, Advanced at $24 for 200, Professional at $39 for 500, then $59 for 1,000, $79 for 2,500 and $129 for unlimited. Every paid plan gets a 14 day trial. Because the cost is fixed to headcount, a store whose top ten affiliates drive most of the revenue pays very little.

Tracking covers links, coupon codes, email addresses and QR codes, which is a wider set than most tools at this price. There is a two tier commission structure, a branded affiliate portal, marketing asset hosting, staff accounts, PayPal bulk payouts and SKU level custom commissions from the Professional tier upward.

Platform coverage is its other strength: Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Squarespace, Ecwid, Shoplazza, Storeden, Jumpseller, Shift4Shop, CrateJoy, HikaShop and custom stores. The interface shows its age next to newer tools, and reporting is basic. But for a small store that wants working tracking and payouts without a percentage fee, the economics are good.
