Who each one is for

LeadDyno is affiliate management software that is not tied to one store platform. Its integrations page lists Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, Ecwid, Stripe, and PayPal, among others, and it has a Shopify App Store listing. Each plan is a monthly subscription that sets the number of active affiliates, with unlimited clicks and conversions and no percentage of sales on leaddyno.com/pricing.

LeadDyno fits a business that sells on several platforms or on a platform other than Shopify, or that needs MLM. If your store runs on Shopify and you want the program on your own store, with no affiliate cap from Basic, that is what Simple Affiliate does.

LeadDyno’s price follows the number of active affiliates, not sales, so $10,000 of GMV costs the same as any other volume on a given plan, and the model shows the plan for each roster size. Our modeled Pro total assumes Autopay on a 10% commission. Basic at $19 has no affiliate cap if you do not need discount codes or per-product commissions.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Simple Affiliate vs LeadDyno. Updated October 24, 2026.

What does Simple Affiliate cost next to LeadDyno?

Four flat plans: Starter $0 for up to 10 affiliates, then Basic $19, Pro $39, and Premium $59 with no affiliate cap, with a 14-day trial on Basic and Pro and a 7-day trial on Premium. No percentage of referred sales. Turn on Autopay and the processing fee (3.9% bank / 8.9% card on Pro) is charged to you on commission payouts; affiliates get their commission in full. From November 1, 2026, Autopay adds a low volume fee of 2 USD to each affiliate payout under 25 USD, in the store currency (for example 2 EUR for each payout under 20 EUR). A payout threshold at or above that limit avoids it on monthly payouts. LeadDyno’s plans, priced by active affiliates, are described on this page from leaddyno.com/pricing and its App Store listing as of October 24, 2026; prices change, so treat the numbers here as a snapshot.

Where do my affiliates sign in?

On your store, with your store’s customer accounts. New customer accounts put the dashboard on your domain; classic accounts use a branded theme page such as /pages/affiliate. LeadDyno affiliates sign in to a LeadDyno affiliate portal with your branding, on a custom domain from Essential. More on why we built it in-house: /pages/sc-faq/why-use-simple-affiliate-instead-of-a-network.

Where does Shopify Collabs fit here?

Shopify Collabs is Shopify’s included creator marketplace, so there is no Simple Affiliate vs Shopify Collabs page: we name it in prose and link apps.shopify.com/collabs and shopify.com/collabs instead. These pages do not recommend uninstalling Shopify products such as Shopify Collabs.

Does LeadDyno charge a percentage of sales?

leaddyno.com/pricing listed none when we checked it on October 24, 2026: each plan is priced by active affiliates, with unlimited clicks and conversions. Terms can change, so read the current page. We never bill a percentage of referred sales either.

Does Simple Affiliate work outside Shopify?

No. Simple Affiliate is an app for Shopify stores only. If you sell on WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Wix, or several platforms at once, LeadDyno’s integrations cover those platforms.
