Making the work
Growing an audience
Running the business
Both cover affiliate & referral. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
An affiliate program that starts at nothing
GoAffPro recruits, tracks and pays affiliates on a free plan that caps neither the number of affiliates nor the sales they bring, which makes it the cheapest way to find out whether a program is worth running. Paying moves the portal onto your own branding and adds tiers, bonuses and a payout scheduler. Multi-level structures are there for anybody who wants them. The free portal carries GoAffPro's name on it, and that is the trade.
Our note
Start on the free plan and let the first payouts tell you whether the branded portal is worth $49, because the free tier is not a trial and there is no clock on it. The upgrade is worth making the moment an affiliate asks why the login screen has somebody else's name on it.
Affiliate links that stay alive on a WordPress site
Lasso manages the affiliate links inside a publisher's own content: display boxes and comparison tables, plus monitoring that flags a link once the product goes out of stock or the page it pointed at disappears. It pulls performance in from the networks so earnings sit beside the posts that made them. Sites with hundreds of links are where it pays. A single review post does not need this.
Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.

Our note
Check whether the promotion is still running before paying the standing price, and check the renewal rate before treating a discounted first year as the cost. The free plan is the sensible starting point for a site whose affiliate income has not yet paid for a subscription.
