SaaS affiliate software

Affiliate software built for recurring revenue

Most affiliate tools were built for e-commerce. B2B SaaS needs recurring commission tracking, subscription attribution, and affiliates who understand software buying cycles.

TL;DR

  1. 01

    Uppercut recruits B2B publishers for your program, then tracks and pays them. Software is free because recruiting is the product.

  2. 02

    On Free, 10% Uppercut platform fee on payouts. Scale is $99/mo with 3% on Uppercut-sourced affiliates only.

  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

    We can't promise the channel will compound. We can promise you'll know whether affiliates work for your product without a six-month sales cycle to find out.

  1. 01

    You set the deal.

    Commission rules, what counts as a conversion, what a partner earns.

    We find the publishers and pitch them.

    Matched to your site and pitched under the Uppercut name, not yours.

    Review partners and conversions before anything pays out.

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% Uppercut platform fee applies to payouts. On Scale, Uppercut charges $99/month and 3% only on affiliates we sourced for you.

How do I set up affiliate tracking? +

Add Uppercut's tracking script and connect Stripe. Clicks tie to signups, subscription renewals attribute automatically, and referrals stay on the customer record after signup, so long B2B cycles aren't limited to a short cookie window.

Who is in the Uppercut network? +

Blogs, newsletters, podcasts, consultants, and communities whose audience matches B2B software buyers. 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 partners you already work with. On Scale, the 3% fee applies only to affiliates Uppercut recruited, not the ones you brought or who found you through your own site.
