Dub Alternative
The best Dub.co alternative for affiliate programs in 2026
Dub is an excellent link-management and analytics platform. But affiliate features (Dub Partners) only unlock on the $75/month Business plan, and affiliate payouts carry a 3-5% fee on top. Affiliate Manager is a purpose-built affiliate platform at $9/month flat with no payout fees.

Why merchants pick Affiliate Manager over Dub
- Dub is built around short links and click analytics; affiliate management is an add-on gated behind the $75/month Business plan. If your main goal is running an affiliate program, Affiliate Manager does that natively at $9/month.
- Dub charges a 3-5% fee on affiliate payouts and caps Business-plan payouts at $2,500/month. Affiliate Manager has no payout fee and no payout cap.
- Affiliate Manager tracks sales across Stripe, Shopify, Lemon Squeezy, Whop, and Gumroad (plus dozens more in beta), and includes a native iOS app for managing your program on the go.
