SaaS affiliate software

Affiliate software built for recurring revenue.

Most affiliate tools grew up in e-commerce. A SaaS program needs recurring commissions, attribution that survives a long evaluation, and affiliates whose audience buys software.

TL;DR

  1. 01

    Uppercut recruits publishers for B2B SaaS affiliate programs, then tracks and pays them. The software is free because recruiting is the product.

  2. 02

    On Free, a 10% platform fee on payouts. Scale is $99/mo plus 3% on affiliates Uppercut brought you.

  3. 03

    B2B software only. No e-commerce, no crypto, no $5 info products.

  4. 04

    Past about $1,000 a month in payouts, the free plan starts costing you more than Scale does. We'll tell you when you cross it.

  5. 05

    An affiliate who writes about you is still working next year. Last month's ad spend isn't. We can't promise you that channel, but we can find people willing to write about you at all.

Launch a SaaS affiliate program

  1. 01

    You set the deal.

    The commission, what counts as a conversion, and how long the attribution window runs.

  2. 02

    We find the publishers and pitch them.

    Chosen from what your site says about your buyer, and pitched under the Uppercut name, not yours.

  3. 03

    You approve who's in and what converted.

    Nothing pays out until you've approved the affiliate and the sale.

  4. 04

    We get them paid.

    You fund it by card or bank transfer. How it reaches them is our problem.

FAQ

Common questions

Is it really free? +

Yes. The software is free permanently: tracking, attribution, payouts. Network access runs 30 days. After that, recruiting is what the $99 buys. Past about $1,000 a month in payouts, the free plan starts costing you more than Scale does.

What does Uppercut charge on payouts? +

On Free, a 10% platform fee. On Scale, $99 a month plus 3% on payouts to affiliates we brought you. Affiliates you brought, or who found you through your own site, carry no Uppercut fee. On both plans, payment processing is passed through at cost.

How do I set up affiliate tracking? +

Add the Uppercut script to your site and connect Stripe. Clicks are tied to signups, renewals are attributed automatically, and after signup the referral stays on the customer record, so a long sales cycle isn't cut short by a cookie.

Who is in the Uppercut network? +

Blogs, newsletters, podcasts, consultants and communities whose audience buys B2B software. Every affiliate is read by a person before they're listed. We'd rather have a short list than a directory.

Can I bring my existing affiliates? +

Yes. Import the partners you already work with. On Scale, the 3% applies only to affiliates Uppercut recruited, not the ones you brought or who found you through your own site.
