Tolt moves you up at $10,000, $20,000 and $50,000 a month. Our price stays the same whatever your affiliates sell.
Tolt says Radar stops fraud before payout, but doesn't publish how. We publish our 13 rules, and each hold shows its evidence.
Tolt connects to Stripe, Paddle and Chargebee. We add Recurly, Lemon Squeezy and Polar.
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.
If one of these matters most to you, Tolt may suit you better. That's fine.
Tolt pays affiliates for you from Growth up, for a 2% fee. We work out who's owed what, and you send it.
From Growth up, Tolt collects W-9 and W-8 forms and files 1099s. We collect the forms, but filing is yours.
Tolt checks affiliates against its database of 200,000+ partners. We only see your own program.
Our data, from the import code
Exactly what the import reads from your Tolt export, and what stays behind.
Download affiliates, and referrals if you have them, from Tolt. Commissions are optional: they're read for the review only.
Upload them in the admin screen. You get counts, clashing codes and emails, and the fraud our rules find in your Tolt history. The review writes nothing.
One batch creates your affiliates and codes. Undo removes the batch, until money has moved against it.
