Tolt

Tolt is affiliate marketing software built specifically for SaaS startups, deliberately narrow in scope compared to broader partnership platforms. It connects directly to Stripe, Paddle, and Chargebee, syncing in real time when a customer subscribes, upgrades, cancels, or gets refunded, and adjusts affiliate commissions automatically without manual reconciliation.

Its main pricing differentiator is a 0% transaction fee: where several competitors take a percentage cut of affiliate-driven revenue on top of a subscription fee, Tolt charges a flat monthly rate only, which becomes more meaningful as a program scales past five figures in monthly affiliate revenue. Plans range from about $49 to $199 per month depending on features like automated payouts, which is limited to higher tiers.

Affiliates get a white-label, branded portal, and payouts can be made via PayPal, Wise, Payoneer, or crypto depending on plan. Among indie hackers and SaaS founders, Tolt is generally regarded as a cheaper, well-supported alternative to Rewardful and FirstPromoter with a similar core feature set. It's best suited to bootstrapped and early-stage SaaS teams already billing through Stripe, Paddle, or Chargebee.
