Pricing by volume
Affiliate tracking cost by monthly volume
Where each plan's price jumps, priced at four program sizes.
By OfferROAS Editorial. Plans read from each vendor's own pricing page. Updated 18 October 2026.
The short answer
A small program pays under $100 a month to track its affiliates. A program sending 120,000 clicks and $120,000 in sales pays anywhere from about $200 to over $2,500, and which end you land on depends on what the tool meters.
Rewardful counts affiliate revenue. Tapfiliate counts clicks, conversions and affiliates. Refersion takes a share of every affiliate sale. Pick the tool whose meter grows slowest in your program. A coupon-heavy store with cheap orders and lots of clicks pays a very different bill on each one than a SaaS company with a few expensive sales.
This is software for running your own affiliate program and paying your partners. Media buyers who need ad-click attribution will want a tool from our ranked tracker roundup, and those are priced in a different way.
See the cost at your program size, or compare Tapfiliate and Refersion side by side.
What you pay at four program sizes
Each row is one month of a program selling orders of about $60. Each cell shows the cheapest monthly plan that handles that volume, before affiliate commissions.
| Monthly volume | Rewardful | Tapfiliate | Refersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4,000 clicks 100 sales, $6,000 |
$49 Starter | $89 Launch | $219 Launch |
| 20,000 clicks 200 sales, $12,000 |
$99 Growth | $112 Launch + overage | $399 Launch |
| 60,000 clicks 650 sales, $39,000 |
$299 Enterprise 75k | $179 Scale | $979 Growth |
| 120,000 clicks 2,000 sales, $120,000 |
$499 Enterprise 150k | $199 Scale + overage | $2,599 Growth |
At 60,000 clicks, Tapfiliate Launch with overage would come to about $174, a few dollars under Scale. Plan on Scale anyway once you pass the 50 affiliates Launch allows. The bottom row is big enough for Refersion's custom Scale plan, which is open to brands above $1 million in yearly GMV. Its flat price is quoted on a sales call.
Where each plan's price jumps
Rewardful jumps on affiliate revenue. Starter covers up to $7,500 a month and Growth up to $15,000. Enterprise then rises in tiers, all listed on its published pricing schedule. Cross a line in one month and the next bill is on the higher tier. Each fee comes to roughly 0.2 to 0.66 percent of the revenue its tier allows. The cost bites at the edges: a program at $7,600 pays double what it paid at $7,400.
Tapfiliate jumps on affiliates first, clicks second. Launch allows 50 affiliates, 5,000 clicks and 500 conversions. The affiliate cap is hard and forces Scale. The click cap is soft: each extra thousand costs $1.50, so Launch with overage reaches the Scale price at about 65,000 clicks. Scale raises the caps to 100,000 clicks and 10,000 conversions, with overage at $1 and $10 per thousand after that.
Refersion's bill grows with its share of sales. Launch takes 3 percent of affiliate-driven sales and Growth takes 2 percent on a higher fee. The two cost the same once affiliates drive $16,000 of sales a month, and above that Growth is cheaper. The share counts only sales your affiliates drove, as its pricing FAQ spells out, and it is billed every month alongside the fee.
Rewardful's full revenue ladder
Rewardful is the only one of the three to publish every tier, so its bill is the easiest to forecast.
| Plan | Revenue up to | Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $7,500 | $49 |
| Growth | $15,000 | $99 |
| Enterprise 30k | $30,000 | $149 |
| Enterprise 75k | $75,000 | $299 |
| Enterprise 150k | $150,000 | $499 |
| Enterprise 350k | $350,000 | $749 |
| Enterprise 500k | $500,000 | $999 |
| Enterprise 750k | $750,000 | $1,500 |
| Enterprise 1M | $1,000,000 | $2,000 |
| Enterprise 1.5M | $1,500,000 | $3,000 |
| Enterprise 2.5M | $2,500,000 | $5,000 |
Starter also limits you to one campaign and two team members, and leaves out the branded portal and custom domain. A program that wants its own look moves to Growth before revenue forces it. Payouts through Rewardful's optional Managed Payouts add 3 percent of the commissions paid.
Annual billing and trials
Annual billing is worth taking once you know which tier you sit in. On a yearly plan, Rewardful and Tapfiliate bill you for ten months instead of twelve, which puts Tapfiliate Launch at $74 a month and Scale at $149. Refersion takes 20 percent off, bringing Launch to $29 and Growth to $159. The percentage of sales on Refersion is not discounted.
Rewardful gives 14 days on every plan. Tapfiliate gives 7 days on Launch, 14 on Scale and 30 on Enterprise, then starts billing on the plan you picked. Refersion's pricing page offers a free marketplace listing, which lets affiliates find your offer but does not track or pay them.
Our take: which one we would start on
For a SaaS business billing through Stripe with under $7,500 of affiliate revenue, we would start on Rewardful Starter. It is the lowest bill at that size, and it syncs with Stripe in both directions.
For an ecommerce store on Shopify or WooCommerce with lots of small orders, we would price Tapfiliate first. Its meter is clicks, and $1.50 per extra thousand is cheap next to 3 percent of sales.
We would skip Refersion unless click volume is huge and sales are few, or you are big enough to negotiate its flat Scale plan. Outside those two cases, its percentage costs more than either rival at every size in the table above, and the gap widens as the program grows.
Judge any of them by one number: the software bill divided by the affiliate revenue it tracked last month.
The pricing pages behind these numbers
What each pricing model costs you as you grow
What works
- Rewardful never takes a share of sales, so a program that doubles its affiliate revenue moves up one tier instead of doubling its fee.
- Tapfiliate charges overage by the thousand, which lets a Launch account ride past its click cap for a while before Scale makes sense.
- Refersion Launch has no click or conversion cap at all, which suits a program with lots of low-value traffic.
- Annual billing cuts every plan here: two months free on Rewardful and Tapfiliate, 20 percent off on Refersion.
What to watch
- Refersion's share of sales stacks on the commission you already pay affiliates, so its bill grows exactly as fast as the channel does.
- Tapfiliate Launch stops at 50 affiliates, a hard limit that forces Scale no matter how few clicks they send.
- Rewardful moves you to a higher tier in the billing cycle after a strong month, so a single launch spike can raise your plan.
- Every subscription bills from the first month, before any affiliate has made a sale, and Tapfiliate trials turn into paid plans unless you cancel.
