Questions
AffiliateWP alternative FAQs
Is Coupon Affiliates a good AffiliateWP alternative?
For WooCommerce stores, yes. It’s built only for WooCommerce, goes deeper on coupon-based tracking, and costs less. If you sell through other platforms, like Easy Digital Downloads or MemberPress, AffiliateWP is likely the better fit.
Is Coupon Affiliates cheaper than AffiliateWP?
Yes. With every feature unlocked, Coupon Affiliates costs $494.97 over three years for one site, compared with $1,497.50 for AffiliateWP Pro, at current prices. There’s also a lifetime licence, which AffiliateWP doesn’t offer.
Can I try Coupon Affiliates before I buy?
Yes. There’s a free version on WordPress.org, and a free 7-day trial of Pro. AffiliateWP doesn’t offer a trial. Both have a 14-day money back guarantee.
Doesn’t AffiliateWP track coupons too?
It does, on all plans, and its Pro plan can apply an affiliate’s coupon from their link on WooCommerce stores. Coupon Affiliates is built around coupons from the start, so links that apply coupons are included in the free version, and every coupon gets its own affiliate dashboard.
Can I move from AffiliateWP to Coupon Affiliates?
Yes. If your affiliates use WooCommerce coupons, Coupon Affiliates calculates their statistics from your existing order history, so nothing is lost. If you need a hand, contact us.
