AFFY
Runs a SaaS company's affiliate program on autopilot — it plugs into Stripe or Paddle, automatically figures out who referred each paying customer, calculates their cut, and pays them, so nobody has to track it in a spreadsheet.

Description
Running an affiliate or referral program sounds simple until you actually try it: you need to know who sent which customer, calculate a fair commission on each sale, handle refunds without overpaying, collect tax forms, and actually send the money — usually done badly in a spreadsheet that someone forgets to update. AFFY automates that whole chain for SaaS companies that bill through Stripe, Paddle, or Chargebee.
AFFY connects directly to those billing providers to track every referral automatically and calculate commissions using configurable rules based on plan, country, or billing type. It handles the operational parts that usually get skipped: full/partial/post-approval refund handling, W-9 collection and IRS-ready 1099 generation for US tax compliance, multi-currency payouts via PayPal, Wise, Tipalti, bank transfer or crypto, and a branded partner portal affiliates can log into to see their own stats. There's also a Telegram bot for approving affiliate requests from a phone, and API/SDK access in Node.js, Python, PHP and Ruby for custom integrations. Pricing runs €29/month for 25 affiliates up to €199+/month for unlimited, with revenue caps on the cheaper tiers.
💬 Our review
The short version: if you're a SaaS company running an affiliate program off spreadsheets and manual PayPal transfers, AFFY genuinely removes the error-prone parts — automated commission math, tax paperwork, and multi-provider payouts in one place — and it's priced accessibly for small teams starting out.
Against PartnerStack and Impact.com, which target larger enterprise affiliate/partner programs, AFFY is clearly built for smaller SaaS teams — simpler setup, lower price floor, but less enterprise polish. Against Rewardful and FirstPromoter, which occupy the same small-SaaS niche, AFFY's edge is the built-in tax compliance (W-9, 1099) and crypto payout option, which neither competitor emphasizes as strongly. The catch is the entry-tier caps: 25 affiliates and a €5K revenue ceiling on Basic will feel tight fast for anything gaining traction, forcing an upgrade to Pro (€79) sooner than you'd expect. Worth it for SaaS teams wanting automated payouts without enterprise complexity; look elsewhere if you need genuinely unlimited scale from day one.
