How CommissionAtlas makes money

CommissionAtlas is free to use. We earn money in two ways, and we tell you about both.

1. Referral links

Some affiliate programs pay a referral fee when a new affiliate joins through someone else's link. Where that's possible, the Join button on a program page uses our referral link. If you join through it, the program may pay us. You pay nothing, and your own commission doesn't change. Program pages that use one say so next to the Join button.

2. Featured placements

Brands can pay to have their program shown first in its category and on the home page. Featured programs always carry a visible “Featured” badge.

What money never changes

Whether a program is listed, and the facts we show about it, never depend on payment. We check commission, cookie length and payout terms against each program's own public page and show the date we last checked. Programs change their terms, so always confirm on the program's page before you join.
