Best for
✔ Blog and Comparison content aimed at software & saas buyers
✔ Audiences that stay subscribed — the commission keeps paying
✔ Any market — the program accepts worldwide traffic
Why promote this
▸ 15-20% of revenue for 12 months on revenue share, run directly by the brand.
▸ Recurring revenue compounds: each retained referral keeps earning after the first month.
▸ A 90 days window gives evergreen content time to convert long after publication.
Avoid if
✖ Your audience does not sit in the Software & SaaS space
✖ You need instant approval and payouts under $100
✖ You have no owned audience to promote to
Main drawback

Earnings depend on retention — if referred customers churn early, the recurring tail disappears.
