FirstPromoter Review (2026): SaaS Affiliate Software for Recurring Commissions

TrueTropical

FirstPromoter review: affiliate, referral and influencer software that tracks SaaS subscription commissions from billing events. See pricing, limits and fit.

Quick verdict

Best for: Subscription software companies that bill through Stripe, Paddle, Chargebee, Recurly or Braintree and want recurring-commission affiliate, referral or influencer programs without building tracking themselves.

Not ideal for: Teams that want a marketplace to discover affiliates, one-time-sale or physical-product stores, and teams that need a free tier or a very modern, highly customizable interface.

Starting price: $49 per month (USD), Starter plan, billed monthly (or $490 per year). Checked on the official pricing page on 2026-10-13.

Key strength: Commissions follow billing events across five billing providers, with unusually deep commission rules and tax/fraud tooling on every plan.

Key weakness: Pricing is gated by affiliate-driven revenue, and Starter caps affiliates at 1,000 with a low $5,000-per-month ceiling, so costs step up as a program succeeds.

Overall rating: 8/10
