What drives the cost of partner program software?

Two things: the plan you need and the fee on payouts. Rewardful, Tolt and FirstPromoter cap the monthly revenue your affiliates can generate on each plan, so a program that works moves up a tier. Partnero has no revenue cap. PartnerStack is quote only, with a median contract of $19,616 a year according to Vendr, plus a fee on each commission invoice.

Payout fees apply when the tool pays partners for you: 3% with Rewardful Managed Payouts, 2% on Tolt auto payouts, 7% with Partnero-managed payouts. Paying partners yourself through PayPal or Wise removes them on most tools.

How to read the result

The commissions you pay partners are the same whatever the tool, so they are left out of the totals. What changes is the platform: subscription plus fees. The cheapest line is highlighted.

Price is only one criterion. PartnerStack adds lead and deal registration and a partner marketplace, which link trackers do not. See the full comparison of tools before you pick.
