Benable is a free service for collecting and sharing recommendations in lists, with tools that let creators earn commissions when people shop through eligible links. Lists can cover products, restaurants, travel, self-care, local services, and other items or experiences. Benable says it automatically adds custom affiliate links to eligible recommendations across more than 35,000 partner sites, and creators keep the full commission. It describes itself as a creator app and says no minimum follower count is required. Recommendations can appear in feeds and across search engines, and the service connects creators with brands for PR and gifted collaborations. Benable is available on the web, iOS, and Android. The iPhone app supports public or private lists, sharing across platforms, personalized feeds, notifications, brand commissions, and an optional Benable Keyboard. The maker says the keyboard handles links entered in Benable features and does not log, store, or transmit text typed in other apps. The operator is Happy Ventures Public Benefit Corporation, headquartered in the Washington, D.C. area.
