FirstPromoter covers more commission logic on its entry plan than most SaaS affiliate tools. Starter at $49 per month includes recurring and lifetime commissions, separate first-order rates, rates that change over time, earning caps, cost-per-lead, bonuses and multi-tier commissions across three levels. It connects to Stripe, Paddle, Chargebee, Recurly and Braintree, which matters if you are not on Stripe, and it can import historical Stripe data when you migrate. Payouts run through PayPal, Wise, Stripe, crypto or bank transfer in 190 currencies, and affiliates can upload W-9 and W-8BEN forms in the portal. Team members are unlimited on every plan. The limits are on scale and branding: Starter covers up to $5,000 a month in affiliate revenue, 1,000 affiliates and three campaigns, while a custom dashboard domain and custom email domain need Business at $99, and full white-labeling needs Enterprise.
