Who Syndicate Links is for
Purpose-built for the full range of agent-native commerce, from SaaS subscriptions to physical goods.

- Signed ai_referral tokens
- Payouts in USDC, USDT, Lightning, or Stripe
Syndicate Links vs. traditional affiliate networks
Legacy networks charge setup fees plus a large percentage cut of every commission you pay. Here's how we compare on total cost and agent-native support.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Syndicate Links | $49–$499 | $0 | 0.5%–3% | Native |
| Refersion | $39–$599 | $0 | 1%–3% of sales | None |
| Impact.com | $500–$2,500+ | $0 | 2.5% of sales | None |
| ShareASale | $35 | $550–$625 | 20% of commissions | None |
Pricing data as of 2026. ShareASale's 20% override applies to every commission paid to affiliates. Impact's $500+/mo tier has minimum revenue requirements. Syndicate Links is the only platform with native AI agent publisher support.
