Why teams look for a FirstPromoter alternative
Four differences you'll notice in the first month.
Fraud waits for you
FirstPromoter holds ad traffic and large sales for approval, if you set it up. Our 13 rules hold any sale that trips one, with the evidence attached.
Lemon Squeezy built in
FirstPromoter doesn't list Lemon Squeezy. We track it from one script tag.
Run it yourself
Self-host is free and open source, on your own server. Your affiliate data never leaves your box. Read the affiliate tracking source code on GitHub.
Where FirstPromoter is ahead
If one of these matters most to you, FirstPromoter may suit you better. That's fine.
Sub-affiliates, 3 levels deep
FirstPromoter pays sub-affiliates up to 3 levels. We track the tree but don't pay on it yet.
Payouts from inside the app
FirstPromoter pays from your Stripe balance on every plan, and in one PayPal click from Business up. We work out the run and you send it.
Braintree
FirstPromoter connects to Braintree. We don't.

Moving from FirstPromoter: what comes with you
Exactly what the import reads from your FirstPromoter export, and what stays behind.
- 01Export your CSVs
Download affiliates, and referrals if you have them, from FirstPromoter. Commissions are optional: they're read for the review only.
- 02See the dry run
Upload them in the admin screen. You get counts, clashing codes and emails, and the fraud our rules find in your FirstPromoter history. The review writes nothing.
- 03Import, with undo
One batch creates your affiliates and codes. Undo removes the batch, until money has moved against it.
Comes with you
- Each affiliate's email, name, status and coupon
- Their FirstPromoter codes, so ?fpr= links keep crediting them
- Referred customers with a Stripe customer id, bound to their affiliate for life
Stays in FirstPromoter
- Balances and unpaid commissions. Pay those out in FirstPromoter first
- Past payouts and invoices
- Settings, which you set once in the admin screen
