Affonso is simply the best affiliate software for small SaaS and for indie hackers IMHO.
Most affiliate software suffocate you with very high monthly charges even when you donโt make money from it at the start. I used to be on rewardful, but I spent almost 700 USD every year without making any money from the tool.
Affonsoโs first price has helped us start an affiliate program and scale it progressively. Many features are here to help you find affiliates and make the most out of the product which is something I love.
Itโs really a win win software. Affonso makes more when you start making more, and so the softwareโs interest is aligned with yours as a SaaS company, which is why I love it so much.
Iโve dropped rewardful for all my products and Iโm using Affonso for all my SaaS now :)
Rewardful
Hey everyone! ๐
Iโm Silvestro, the founder of Affonso, and Iโve been working with affiliate programs for over 12 years. Iโve managed partnerships for international brands, scaled programs from scratch, and even built my own affiliate network.
Over time, one thing kept coming up. Affiliate software was either too clunky, too expensive, or created more work instead of driving growth. Most tools focus on managing affiliate programs. In practice, the bigger challenge usually comes earlier. Finding affiliates in the first place.
Affonso starts there. With an Affiliate Finder and Marketplace, it helps SaaS teams discover affiliates outside their own network who already talk about their niche or promote similar products.
From there, Affonso gives you the foundation to run and scale an affiliate program without operational overhead. Integrations are simple. Payouts can be automated or fully managed. Everything is built to stay out of your way while you focus on growing your SaaS.
Affonso is fully bootstrapped and built solo, shaped directly by years of hands-on experience running affiliate programs. No VC roadmap. Just real problems turned into software.
Quick overview:
๐ Affiliate Finder โ discover affiliates already active in your niche
๐ค Affiliate Marketplace โ get discovered by affiliates looking for SaaS products
โ๏ธ Easy integrations โ connect payment providers or use APIs & webhooks
๐จ Branded affiliate portal โ matches your product and company branding
๐ Real-time analytics โ Know whatโs converting, instantly
๐ธ Automated or managed payouts โ no manual payout work
๐ Flexible Commission Rules โ Set custom tiers, rules, and payouts per affiliate group
๐ก๏ธ Built-in fraud protection โ Self-referral detection and prevention
Iโd love to hear your feedback, questions, or how youโre currently approaching affiliate growth. Happy to answer anything (:

By far the best affiliates platform I have ever used ๐ซก. The integration with Polar is top notch and make the setup really easy!
Affonso is our Affiliate tool and we've found it great to work with. Silvestro is no more than a few minutes away those rare times we've needed support. Recommended!

Hi @zilvestro , Congrats on the Product Hunt launch
Iโm already an @Affonso user, so I can honestly say you donโt need to look for another affiliate marketing platform. Everythingโs in one place and the Affiliate Finder feature is especially solid. It makes discovering the right partners way easier and faster.
