Everything you need to run an affiliate program
Most affiliate tools stop at tracking and commissions. Blitz Rocket pairs them with the giveaway and referral mechanics that actually recruit promoters — plus AI fraud detection on every signup.
Tracked links per affiliate
Every promoter gets a unique referral URL so you always know who drove which visit, signup, and sale.
Commission tracking
Set percentage or flat-rate commissions per affiliate or per campaign, with tiered rates as they perform.
Revenue attribution
Track referred orders and subscriptions automatically through Shopify and Stripe — real revenue, per promoter.
Leaderboards & milestone rewards
Gamify performance with live leaderboards and unlockable rewards that motivate promoters beyond flat payouts.
Automated payouts
Pay affiliates on a schedule via Stripe and PayPal — no spreadsheets, no manual reconciliation.
AI fraud detection
Every referred signup is screened for bots, self-referrals, duplicate IPs, and disposable emails before it counts.
Recruit from your audience
Turn fans and customers into affiliates by seeding the program with a giveaway or contest instead of cold outreach.
Email platform sync
Sync every affiliate and referred contact to 13 email platforms including Klaviyo, Mailchimp, and Kit.

CompareAffiliate program software FAQ
What is the best affiliate program software in 2026?
For Stripe-based SaaS, Rewardful and FirstPromoter are the standard at $49/month. For Shopify stores, UpPromote and GoAffPro lead. For B2B partner ecosystems, PartnerStack; for enterprise, impact.com. If you want promoter-driven growth with giveaway mechanics and fraud screening, Blitz Rocket takes a different angle worth considering first.
How much does affiliate software cost?
Entry pricing: GoAffPro and UpPromote from ~$29/month (both with free tiers), Rewardful and FirstPromoter from $49/month, Tapfiliate from $74/month annual, Refersion from $99/month, Post Affiliate Pro from $139/month, and PartnerStack from roughly $1,000/month. impact.com has a $30/month Starter tier with Essentials from $500/month.
Do I need affiliate software or a referral program?
Affiliate programs pay third-party marketers cash commissions on sales; referral programs reward existing customers with discounts or perks. If your promoters are professional marketers, choose affiliate software. If they’re your fans and customers, a referral or milestone-reward platform like Blitz Rocket usually converts better.
How do affiliate platforms handle recurring commissions?
SaaS-focused tools (Rewardful, FirstPromoter, Tapfiliate) track subscription renewals and pay affiliates a percentage of recurring revenue, with FirstPromoter handling edge cases like refunds and clawbacks most thoroughly. Ecommerce tools generally pay one-time commissions per order.
What about affiliate fraud?
Coupon leaking, self-referrals, and cookie stuffing are the common abuse patterns. Most entry-level tools offer only basic IP checks — fraud scoring typically arrives at enterprise tiers. Blitz Rocket runs AI fraud detection on every referred signup regardless of plan.
