Simple Affiliate vs GoAffPro

Checked against public Shopify App Store listings and vendor pricing pages. Confirm current rates and contracts before buying.
Who each one is for
GoAffPro is the stronger fit if you want a $0 Hobby plan at modest order volume, or you need MLM. Simple Affiliate is the stronger fit if you want the program on your store, Autopay with 1099s, and a flat monthly bill without multi-level marketing.
Pricing
goaffpro.com/pricing lists Hobby free for stores under 100 daily orders, Premium at $49/month, and Business from $99/month. It does not publish a percentage of referred sales. Simple Affiliate is Starter $0 through Premium $69. A store at $10,000/month GMV often still qualifies for GoAffPro Hobby if daily orders stay under 100.

| Paid plans | Premium $49/mo; Business from $99/mo | Basic $19 / Pro $39 / Premium $69 |

| 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) |
This page does not invent a GoAffPro total at $10,000 GMV. Hobby is free under 100 daily orders; many stores at this GMV still fit Hobby. Premium is $49/month. Simple Affiliate’s modeled Pro total assumes Autopay on a 10% commission. Confirm current GoAffPro plan limits on goaffpro.com/pricing.

How does Simple Affiliate bill compared with GoAffPro?
Simple Affiliate is a flat monthly Shopify subscription: Starter $0, Basic $19, Pro $39, Premium $69, with a 14-day trial on paid plans. There is no percentage of referred sales. Autopay processing fees are extra (3.9% bank / 8.9% card on Pro) and paid by the merchant on commission payouts, not deducted from the affiliate.

Does Simple Affiliate keep the program on my store the way GoAffPro does?
Simple Affiliate is an in-house Shopify app. Affiliates sign in with your store’s customer accounts and the dashboard stays on your domain (new customer accounts) or a branded theme page such as /pages/simple-affiliate (classic accounts). GoAffPro may use a vendor-hosted portal or marketplace. Cite /pages/sc-faq/why-use-simple-affiliate-instead-of-a-network.
