AffiliateRail
Affiliate program software for SaaS founders, built around one decision: it never holds your money. You connect your own PayPal or Wise account. AffiliateRail pays from it, taking 0% of every payout. Tracking rides the Stripe or Paddle reference field. The portal comes in thirteen languages on your own domain. The tracking script reads other platforms' referral parameters, so old links keep converting through a migration.
Published entry price: $29 founding, $59 after.
