Refersion

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.

A free Marketplace Listing publishes an offer and lets affiliates apply, with no tracking attached. Launch is $39 a month plus 3 percent of affiliate-driven sales and includes unlimited affiliates, unlimited clicks and first-party tracking. Growth is $199 plus 2 percent and adds API access, product-level commissions and multi-store management. Scale is quoted and moves to a flat monthly subscription with no percentage, which is the point where the percentage stops making sense.

Ecommerce brands and creators selling physical products who want affiliates recruited as well as tracked. A business selling one digital product will find the percentage of sales harder to justify than a flat fee elsewhere.
