Solid Affiliate

Solid Affiliate is a WordPress affiliate plugin built specifically around WooCommerce, and it competes with AffiliateWP by being newer, cleaner and slightly cheaper. More than 10,000 WooCommerce businesses use it and it holds a 4.7 rating on Trustpilot.

Pricing is by site licence, annual, with no platform fee on referred revenue. Starter is $149.60 for the first year on one site with unlimited affiliates, commissions, creatives and payouts, plus tracking, reporting, PayPal payouts and coupon tracking. Expert is $174.65 for three sites and adds affiliate tags, growth tools and monthly reports. Pro is $224.70 for ten sites and unlocks everything: lifetime commissions, revenue sharing, a white label affiliate area, landing pages and the fraud prevention suite. Regular prices are $374, $499 and $749, so those are introductory rates and renewals cost more.

The refund window is 30 days, double what AffiliateWP offers, and payment is accepted through PayPal and Stripe.

WooCommerce is required, which narrows it compared with plugins that work on any WordPress site. If your store runs on WooCommerce, the ten site Pro licence at this price is strong value for an agency or anyone running several stores, and the self hosted model means you never pay a percentage of what your affiliates earn you.
