Simple Affiliate vs GoAffPro
GoAffPro’s calling card is a free plan with real headroom: Hobby costs nothing for stores under 100 daily orders. Paid Premium and Business tiers sit above it, multi-level (MLM) marketing is on the menu, and goaffpro.com/pricing publishes no percentage of referred sales.
Checked against the public App Store listing and vendor pricing page. List prices move; reread them before you buy.
Who each one is for
Two honest reasons to pick GoAffPro: Hobby at $0 while your order volume is modest, and MLM when you need it. If neither applies, we’d point you at an in-house program on your own store, Autopay with 1099s, and a flat monthly bill.
Pricing
Hobby: free under 100 daily orders. Premium: $49/month. Business: from $99/month. No percentage of referred sales appears anywhere on goaffpro.com/pricing, which is rarer than it should be. Our range runs Starter $0 through Premium $69. Worth knowing: a $10,000/month store often still fits Hobby, because 100 daily orders is a lot of orders.
| Line item | GoAffPro | Simple Affiliate |
|---|---|---|
| Published starting price | Hobby free (<100 daily orders) | Starter $0 |
| Paid plans | Premium $49/mo; Business from $99/mo | Basic $19 / Pro $39 / Premium $69 |
| Revenue share | Not published on goaffpro.com/pricing | None |
| Payout processing | Per GoAffPro payout settings (confirm on listing) | PayPal, store credit, and Premium manual 0%; Autopay 3.9% bank / 8.9% card on Pro |
| Modeled at $10,000 GMV | Often still Hobby $0 if daily orders stay under 100; otherwise Premium $49 | $78 on Pro with Autopay bank (or $39 without Autopay) |
There is no honest single GoAffPro number at $10,000 GMV, so this page does not invent one. Many stores that size still fit free Hobby if daily orders stay under 100; the next stop is Premium at $49/month. Our modeled Pro total assumes Autopay on a 10% commission. Plan limits per goaffpro.com/pricing as of August 18, 2026.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Simple Affiliate vs GoAffPro. Updated August 18, 2026.
How do the two bills compare?
Ours is flat: Starter is free, and Basic, Pro, and Premium run $19, $39, and $69 a month, each with a 14-day trial and never a percentage of referred sales. Autopay is the one usage charge: on Pro, 3.9% bank or 8.9% card, billed to you on commission payouts and never taken out of the affiliate’s cut. GoAffPro’s free-Hobby-then-flat-tiers model is drawn from its listing and goaffpro.com/pricing.
Do affiliates end up on a vendor portal with Simple Affiliate?
No. Sign-in runs through your store’s customer accounts, and the dashboard is your domain on new customer accounts or a theme page like /pages/simple-affiliate on classic ones. GoAffPro hosts its portal on the vendor side. Background reading: /pages/sc-faq/why-use-simple-affiliate-instead-of-a-network.
Is Shopify Collabs one of the options?
It is already in your admin: Collabs is the creator marketplace included with Shopify, not a third-party App Store app, which is why it gets named in prose (apps.shopify.com/collabs, shopify.com/collabs) rather than a comparison URL. These pages do not recommend uninstalling Shopify products such as Shopify Collabs.
Does GoAffPro charge a percentage of sales?
goaffpro.com/pricing listed none when we reviewed it for this article: Hobby free under 100 daily orders, Premium $49/month. Terms can change, so read the current page. We never bill a percentage of referred sales.
Does Simple Affiliate support MLM?
No. Simple Affiliate is a single-level, in-house affiliate and referral program, and that is deliberate. If multi-level commissions are a requirement, buy GoAffPro.
