Straight answers

An affiliate management platform — the system of record for the relationships, money, and work around your tracker. Trackers measure conversions; BeyondAffiliate manages the program: recruiting, communication, payouts, team, and reporting. It exists to make affiliate organizations perform better, not just count better.

No. BeyondAffiliate is tracker-agnostic and sits on top of what you already run — Trackdesk, Everflow, TUNE, CAKE, Affise, and the lighter SaaS tools like Tapfiliate, FirstPromoter, and Tolt. Your tracker keeps counting. We run everything around it.

If you manage affiliate relationships at any real scale, probably yes. The platform runs the full range: a solo manager juggling hundreds of offers up to networks managing thousands of affiliates with multi-manager teams. The workflows adapt to the size of the operation — the operation doesn't bend to the tool.

You can — at small scale, spreadsheets work. The problem is they fail quietly: missed payouts, forgotten prospects, reports that take a day to assemble. Purpose-built infrastructure catches the expensive mistakes by design instead of by luck. And your data still exports to Google Sheets or CSV whenever you want it — we're against spreadsheet operations, not spreadsheet access.

Grunt work, not magic. It drafts outreach, summarizes prospect research, digests partner activity, and preps reports — inside the workflows, with you approving the output. It doesn't send, pay, or promise anything on its own. The honest pitch: it gives manager hours back; it doesn't replace the manager.

Monthly subscription tiers, priced by the number of users in your organization who need platform access. No per-affiliate taxes, no surprise line items. Exact pricing depends on your seat count — ask us and you'll get a number, not a "contact sales" runaround.

Every subscription includes email support plus full access to documentation and tutorials. Pro and Elite tiers add phone support; Elite can include dedicated support personnel, arranged case by case. Whatever the tier: questions get answered by people who run affiliate programs for a living.

Days, not months. The real variables are how much data you're loading in and how much training your team wants. A lean setup is operational within a few days; a large organization with heavy data migration takes somewhat longer — and we'll tell you honestly which one you are before you commit.
