GoAffPro vs Refersion Comparison 2026
GoAffPro's free Hobby plan tracks and pays affiliates with no cap on affiliates, sales or revenue, real tracking rather than just a listing. Refersion's free tier only publishes a marketplace listing with no tracking attached; real tracking starts at Launch, $39 a month plus 3 percent of affiliate-driven sales. That percentage is the whole difference: GoAffPro's paid tiers are flat fees, so a program doing $20,000 a month through affiliates costs $49 on GoAffPro's Premium plan and roughly $639 on Refersion's Launch plan.

GoAffPro
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.
Refersion
Affiliate programs for ecommerce brands
Refersion tracks affiliate sales first-party, without a third-party cookie, which is what keeps attribution working now that browsers throw those away. Its marketplace is the other half: affiliates browse offers and apply, so a new program is not starting from an empty list. Pricing charges a percentage of affiliate-driven sales on top of the monthly fee, and that percentage falls as the plan gets dearer.
Why people weigh these two
- Refersion instead of GoAffPro
- Refersion has a free tier too, then $39 a month, built specifically for ecommerce brands rather than GoAffPro's broader affiliate portal.
- GoAffPro instead of Refersion
- GoAffPro starts at nothing and charges $49 once you grow.
Which one should you pick
Pick GoAffPro if you want to find out whether an affiliate program works before paying anything: the free Hobby plan is uncapped on affiliates, sales and revenue, not a limited preview. Premium at $49 a month adds your own branding and a payout scheduler with no percentage taken from what affiliates sell, so the bill stays flat as the program grows.
Pick Refersion if you want affiliates recruited as well as tracked: its marketplace lets affiliates browse and apply to your offer, so a new program starts with applicants rather than an empty list. Launch is $39 a month plus 3 percent of affiliate-driven sales, a percentage that GoAffPro does not charge, so run the arithmetic on your expected volume before choosing it over a flat fee.
Common questions
- Does GoAffPro's free plan actually track sales, or just list the program?
- It tracks: the free Hobby plan has no cap on affiliates, sales or revenue and runs real tracking. Refersion's free tier is only a marketplace listing with no tracking attached; tracking starts on the $39-a-month Launch plan.
- Does GoAffPro take a percentage of affiliate sales the way Refersion does?
- No. GoAffPro's paid tiers, Premium at $49 and Business from $99, are flat monthly fees. Refersion adds 3 percent of affiliate-driven sales on Launch and 2 percent on Growth, on top of the monthly price.
- At what point does Refersion's percentage make it more expensive than GoAffPro?
- Quickly, at any real volume: a program moving $20,000 a month through affiliates pays roughly $639 on Refersion's Launch plan, close to the figure its own listing gives against a different competitor, against a flat $49 on GoAffPro's Premium plan. GoAffPro's flat pricing means the bill does not grow with success.
- What does Refersion's marketplace give you that GoAffPro does not?
- A pool of affiliates who browse and apply to open offers, so a brand-new program is not starting from zero. GoAffPro's listing does not describe an equivalent marketplace; affiliates have to be recruited rather than found already looking.
