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.
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.
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.
Run an affiliate programme without a platform fee
LeadDyno is affiliate tracking for a business that wants its own programme rather than a listing on somebody's network: affiliates get a link and a dashboard, commissions are calculated on your rules, and payouts run from the same place. Pricing is a flat monthly fee by feature tier rather than a share of the sales it tracks, which matters once the programme works. Recruiting affiliates is still entirely your problem.
Our note
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.

Count how many commission structures you need before picking a tier, because that single limit is what forces the jump from $49 to $129 and it is easy to miss when comparing feature lists. Against a platform that takes a percentage, this pays off once tracked sales pass a few thousand a month.
