• Yearly plan ($79/year): $15.80/year per customer, recurring annually

Average affiliate earnings: Top affiliates earn approximately $250/month, with growth potential as your referrals compound over time.

Most conversions happen within 7-14 days of initial click, but the 60-day cookie window gives your referrals plenty of time to decide.
