Turn customers into affiliates
Managing your software’s affiliate program is now effortless with the powerful Freemius Affiliate Platform.
Free users, paid customers, and affiliate marketers can sign up and promote your products with just a few easy clicks.
The Freemius Affiliate Platform
The Affiliate Platform lets you manage affiliates, visits, referrals, and payouts from a single dashboard.
If you’re selling a freemium product, affiliates can promote your free version and still earn a commission when users upgrade to a paid plan.
Convert your users and customers into promoters by onboarding affiliates through the Customer Portal.

“Setting up the Freemius Affiliate Platform is as easy as a flick of a switch. I was able to reach a broader audience and increase revenue much faster than other affiliate platforms would have allowed.”
