Aflink vs Endorsely

Aflink is an affiliate management platform for brands, startups, creator-economy companies, influencers, and affiliates. It provides a partner portal, automated payouts, last-click attribution, and API access through its web and API platforms. Brands can set commission rates, attribution windows, and payout rules for recurring, one-time, or tier-based commissions. Referral links use a first-party 30-day token, server-side logging, and a salted IP fallback. Listed cookie windows are 30, 60, and 90 days, with custom windows on the Custom plan. Shared real-time dashboards show clicks, orders, commissions, and pending balances, with notifications and CSV export. Listed payment integrations include Stripe Connect, Fungies, PayPal, Visa Direct card payouts, and card, ACH, and wire top-ups. Tax features include W-9/W-8BEN collection and 1099-NEC and DAC7 generation on both plans. Free access covers the first five creators; additional creators cost $3.99 a month each. The Custom plan supports 6–500+ creators, unlimited concurrent campaigns, and priority email support.

Endorsely is affiliate-program software for SaaS businesses, available through the web and an API. It tracks affiliate referrals, conversions, revenue, subscription renewals, upgrades, refunds, trials, and cancellations. Programs can use affiliate links, discount codes, deep links, SubIDs, first-click or last-click attribution, and adjustable cookie lengths that default to 90 days. Commission rules support one-time, recurring, or mixed payments, with rates and bonuses for affiliate tiers. The AI Affiliate Finder identifies partners promoting competitors, finds contact details, and drafts outreach emails. Endorsely formats bulk payouts for PayPal mass payments and includes fraud alerts for paid-ad conversions and self-referrals. Stripe is the main integration, with a Manual API endpoint for custom setups or multiple processors. Customers can use their domain, replace the logo, customize application colors, and provide different permissions to unlimited team members. A free Starter plan is available; paid plans start at $39 a month.
