Lasso
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.
ReferralCandy
Refer-a-friend for a shop, on a success fee
ReferralCandy runs the customer referral program for an online store: the reward, the emails chasing it, the fraud checks and the payout. Every plan has every feature and the tiers differ only in the split between a fixed monthly fee and a percentage of the sales the program brings in. Working out which tier is cheapest for you is real arithmetic, and the dearer plans can genuinely cost less.
