Why small teams choose Affiliate Manager over PartnerStack
- PartnerStack is built for established B2B SaaS companies and typically only pays off past ~$1M ARR. Below that, an $800+/month base plus a cut of partner revenue is hard to justify.
- There is no public pricing and no self-serve signup - you go through a sales demo before you can start. Affiliate Manager lets you sign up and launch a program in minutes for $9/month.
- Affiliate Manager tracks sales across Stripe, Shopify, Lemon Squeezy, Whop, and Gumroad (plus dozens more in beta), charges no percentage of your revenue, and includes a native iOS app.
