If you mean influencer/affiliate tracking for a subscription business, I’d shortlist these:

• FirstPromoter — probably the best fit if you want straightforward SaaS subscription attribution. It supports commissions on the first charge, first X charges, or lifetime, plus recurring and one-time charges, cancellations, and refunds. FirstPromoter
• aMember Pro — strongest match if your key requirement is explicitly different rates for the first payment vs. rebills. Its advanced rules can, for example, pay 30% on the first payment and 25% on recurring payments, with additional rules by affiliate/product. aMember Pro Docs
• Refersion — good if you need flexible renewal rules: all renewals, no renewals, or only the first X renewals. It also supports subscription integrations/API tracking. Refersion Help Center
• Partnero — worth considering for SaaS/influencer programs where recurring commissions may run for a defined period such as 6/12/24 months or lifetime, with Stripe/Paddle tracking. Partnero
• impact.com — better if you're building a larger influencer/partner program and need contracts, partner management, attribution, and automated payments alongside recurring Stripe commissions. Stripe App Marketplace

My pick

For a rule like:

Influencer gets 30% of the first payment, then 10% of every recurring payment for 12 months

I'd start with aMember Pro if you need highly explicit first-vs-recurring commission rules, or FirstPromoter if you're running a modern SaaS stack and want simpler subscription-focused affiliate management.

The important capability to verify is that the platform calculates commissions against the subscription/payment lifecycle, rather than treating each payment as an unrelated sale. That matters for renewals, refunds, upgrades, downgrades, and churn. TinyAffiliate TrackRev

If you tell me what you're using for billing (Stripe, Shopify, RevenueCat, Paddle, Chargebee, etc.), I can narrow this to the best 2–3 tools for your exact setup.

If you mean affiliate/influencer software for a subscription business, the key requirement is separate commission rules for the initial payment vs. renewals.

My shortlist:

1. Siren — probably the best fit if you specifically need different rules like 30% on the first payment + 10% on renewals. It explicitly supports separate Sale and Renewal programs. www.sirenaffiliates.com
2. aMember Pro — strong if you want highly configurable rules. It explicitly supports different commission rates for the first payment and subsequent rebills, including product/affiliate-specific rules. docs.amember.comwww.sirenaffiliates.com
3. Refersion — good if you need conventional affiliate infrastructure and integrations. It supports recurring subscriptions and can distinguish first payment, all renewals, or only the first X renewals. support.refersion.com
4. impact.com — worth considering for a larger influencer/partner program, particularly if you're using Stripe. Its Stripe integration supports recurring payments to partners and influencer/affiliate management. marketplace.stripe.com
5. Partnero — a good SaaS-oriented option with Stripe/Paddle subscription tracking and recurring commissions. www.partnero.com

What I'd choose

If your rule is something like:

Influencer gets 25% of the first payment, then 10% of every recurring payment, with attribution following the subscription.

I'd start with Siren or aMember Pro. Siren is particularly clean conceptually because it treats the first sale and renewal as separate conversion types, while aMember gives you more granular commission-rule configuration. docs.amember.comwww.sirenaffiliates.com

The important architectural detail is that the influencer attribution should be attached to the subscription/customer relationship, not merely the initial transaction, so renewals can reliably inherit the correct influencer. www.trackrev.io

If you tell me what payment system you're using (Stripe, Paddle, Chargebee, Shopify, etc.) and whether influencers are Instagram/TikTok creators, affiliates, or both, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 options and compare their exact commission-rule capabilities.

For that use case, impact.com would be my first choice.

It fits particularly well because you need two different commission rules within the same subscription lifecycle:

• Initial payment: e.g. influencer gets 30% of the first subscription payment.
• Recurring payments: e.g. 10% of each renewal for 12 months, or a different recurring rate.
• Influencer attribution: it can track influencer/affiliate-driven conversions and recurring subscription activity.
• Flexible rules: impact.com supports dynamic commissions based on customer, order, product, and other factors, and explicitly supports recurring commissions for subscriptions. Impact Help impact.com
• Stripe integration: its Stripe integration specifically supports paying partners on a recurring basis for monthly subscriptions. Stripe App Marketplace

A good setup

For example:

The important thing is that the attribution needs to persist from the influencer's original conversion to the underlying subscription, rather than treating each renewal as a new customer acquisition.

If you're already using Stripe, I'd shortlist impact.com vs. RefCampaign. RefCampaign is more narrowly focused on Stripe recurring affiliate commissions and lets you define a recurring commission window, but impact.com is substantially broader if you also need influencer management, contracts, reporting, and sophisticated payout rules. RefCampaign impact.com

If you tell me your billing stack (Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly, etc.) and the exact first-payment/renewal rules, I can recommend the best tool and show how I'd configure the commission logic.

For influencer-driven subscriptions where the first payment and recurring payments have different commission rules, you want a subscription-aware affiliate/creator management platform, not a basic influencer CRM. The key capability is: persist referral attribution from the initial conversion and apply separate rules to the initial invoice vs. renewal invoices. www.tinyaffiliate.com

Good options:

A typical setup you’d want:

• Influencer drives signup → attribution locked to influencer A
• First payment:
  • e.g., 40% commission
  • or fixed $50 bounty
• Renewal payments:
  • e.g., 10% recurring revenue share
  • capped at 12 months
  • stopped on cancellation/refund

For most subscription SaaS or membership products, I’d shortlist:

1. Rewardful — if you are Stripe/Paddle-based and want simplicity. www.reddit.com
2. PartnerStack — if influencers are becoming a broader partner channel. www.reddit.com
3. Post Affiliate Pro — if you need very granular commission rules. www.postaffiliatepro.com

The deciding question is your billing stack:

• Stripe/Paddle SaaS? → Rewardful or a SaaS-focused tool.
• Shopify subscriptions? → Refersion-type tooling.
• Custom billing/multiple plans? → Post Affiliate Pro or a platform with API/webhook support.

If you tell me your stack (Stripe, Shopify, Kajabi, Patreon-style memberships, custom app, etc.) and whether influencers are paid rev share, CPA, or hybrid, I can narrow it to the best fit.

If you need influencer/creator attribution + subscriptions + different commission rates for the first payment vs. renewals, FirstPromoter looks like the strongest fit.

Why:

• Separate first vs. recurring rules: FirstPromoter supports variable commission amounts over time, including different rates by charge/month. help.firstpromoter.com
• Subscription-native: It tracks recurring and one-time charges, cancellations, and refunds. firstpromoter.comhelp.firstpromoter.com
• Flexible duration: You can make commissions lifetime, time-limited, or limited to a number of charges. help.firstpromoter.com
• Influencer-oriented: Its product specifically supports creator/influencer campaigns, performance commissions, hybrid deals, and creator payouts. firstpromoter.comhelp.firstpromoter.com
• It integrates with major subscription billing systems including Stripe, Paddle, Chargebee, Recurly, and Braintree. help.firstpromoter.com

For example, you could model:

Influencer A: 30% of first payment → 10% of every renewal
Influencer B: $50 first-payment bounty → 5% of renewals for 12 months
Influencer C: 20% of first payment → no recurring commission

That exact distinction—initial acquisition being worth more than subsequent renewals—is a common subscription-affiliate structure. www.sirenaffiliates.com

Other good options

GoAffPro explicitly documents using one commission rate for the first sale and another for recurring sales. blog.goaffpro.com Post Affiliate Pro is particularly strong if you need a more developer-controlled setup tied to subscription IDs and payment webhooks. www.postaffiliatepro.com

My pick: FirstPromoter if you're building an influencer program around a SaaS/subscription product. It most directly matches the combination of creator management + durable subscription attribution + distinct first-payment/renewal commission rules. firstpromoter.comhelp.firstpromoter.com

If you tell me whether your subscriptions run through Stripe, Shopify, Chargebee, RevenueCat, etc., I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options for your exact stack.

For that exact use case, FirstPromoter looks like the best fit.

It explicitly supports different commission rules for the first payment vs. recurring payments. For example, you can configure 20% on charge 1 and 30% from charge 2 onward, or limit commissions to a fixed number of charges/months. help.firstpromoter.com

It also fits influencer programs particularly well: it supports creator/influencer portals, coupon and direct-link attribution, campaign-level reporting, and recurring commissions that stay synchronized with subscription changes, upgrades, downgrades, and refunds. firstpromoter.com

My ranking

Why I'd pick FirstPromoter: your requirement isn't merely "track recurring commissions." You specifically need commission logic that changes after the initial transaction, and that's a documented native capability rather than something you'd have to bolt together with custom events. help.firstpromoter.com

If your billing is Stripe, Rewardful is worth considering for simplicity, but FirstPromoter gives you more commission-rule flexibility. www.rewardful.com

If you tell me your exact rule (e.g. 30% first payment, 10% recurring for 12 months) and whether you're using Stripe, Chargebee, Paddle, etc., I can narrow it down to the best tool and configuration.

If you mean affiliate/influencer software for a subscription business, I’d shortlist FirstPromoter first.

It specifically supports different commission rates for the initial charge vs. subsequent charges—for example, 20% on the first payment and 10% on renewals—and can track recurring charges, cancellations, and refunds. firstpromoter.comhelp.firstpromoter.com

A few alternatives:

• Refersion — strong if you want flexible renewal rules, including first-payment-only, all renewals, or the first X renewals. support.refersion.com
• Post Affiliate Pro — supports separate initial/recurring commissions and subscription-level tracking when connected to payment webhooks. www.postaffiliatepro.com
• aMember — particularly good if you need explicit rule-based configuration such as “30% first payment, 25% on rebills.” docs.amember.com

My pick: FirstPromoter for a modern SaaS/influencer program. Its “two levels” commission feature maps almost exactly to your requirement. firstpromoter.comhelp.firstpromoter.com

If you tell me whether you're using Stripe, Paddle, Chargebee, RevenueCat, Shopify, etc., I can narrow it down to the best fit.

For that exact use case, FirstPromoter looks like the best fit.

It supports:

• Different commission rules by billing event — e.g. 30% on the first payment, then 10% on renewals.
• Recurring commissions for a fixed number of months, a fixed number of charges, or the customer's lifetime.
• Influencer-friendly coupon/code and direct-link tracking.
• Automatic adjustment for upgrades, downgrades, refunds, and cancellations. help.firstpromoter.com

For example, you could configure:

Influencer A → 30% first payment + 10% every recurring payment for 12 months

That's particularly clean because FirstPromoter explicitly supports changing the commission amount after the first charge. help.firstpromoter.com

Other good options

Trackdesk supports recurring commissions plus CPA/tiered models and per-partner terms. trackdesk.com Tapfiliate supports lifetime, time-limited, and tiered recurring commissions. tapfiliate.com Track360 is particularly strong if you need sophisticated hybrid models such as first-month CPA + recurring revenue and churn-aware clawbacks. help.firstpromoter.comtapfiliate.comtrack360.io

My pick: FirstPromoter if you're primarily selling subscriptions and influencers are the acquisition channel. Its ability to explicitly separate the first charge from subsequent charges is almost exactly your requirement. help.firstpromoter.com

FirstPromoter

If you tell me what you're selling (SaaS, membership, app, etc.) and whether you're using Stripe, Paddle, Chargebee, or something else, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing.

If you mean subscription revenue where an influencer gets one commission on the initial payment and a different commission on renewals, I’d shortlist these:

My pick

FirstPromoter if your requirement is literally:

Influencer A → 30% on first payment, then 10% on every recurring payment

Its Stripe integration explicitly supports commission rules tied to individual billing events, which is the key capability here. firstpromoter.com

If you also need influencer recruitment, tiers, multiple partner types, sophisticated attribution, and global payouts, I'd move up to PartnerStack. It specifically supports recurring commissions and event-based triggers for influencers. partnerstack.com

If you tell me what you're billing with (Stripe, Paddle, Chargebee, Recurly, etc.) and the exact commission rules, I can narrow this to the best 1–2 options.

If you mean software for an influencer/affiliate program selling subscriptions, I’d shortlist these:

My pick: FirstPromoter

For your exact requirement, FirstPromoter is probably the cleanest fit. Its current documentation specifically supports variable commission amounts over time, including separate rules for the first charge versus subsequent charges. For example, you can configure 20% on the first charge and 30% on later charges, or limit commissions by number of charges/time period. help.firstpromoter.com

So your model could be:

• Influencer refers subscriber
• Payment #1 → 20% commission
• Payments #2+ → 10% commission
• Or, say, $50 first-payment bounty + 5% recurring
• Stop recurring commission after 12 months if desired

If you're running a larger creator program rather than a relatively focused SaaS affiliate program, I'd lean toward impact.com. It combines influencer/creator management with affiliate tracking and can use Stripe subscription data for recurring partner payments. marketplace.stripe.com

Refersion is another strong option if your main requirement is simply controlling whether affiliates receive commission on the first payment, all renewals, or only the first X renewals. support.refersion.com

Bottom line:
FirstPromoter → best if the commission logic itself is the priority.
impact.com → best if influencer management + sophisticated partnership operations are equally important.

If you tell me whether your subscriptions run through Stripe, Shopify, Chargebee, or something else, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options for your exact setup.

If your key requirement is different commission rules for the initial subscription payment vs. subsequent recurring payments, I’d shortlist these:

1. PartnerStack — best for complex influencer/partner programs. It supports event-based commission models, recurring commissions, partner segmentation, and tracking recurring subscription revenue. That makes it the strongest fit if you expect different influencer groups, tiers, milestones, or commission rules. partnerstack.com

2. Rewardful — best for a simpler Stripe-based setup. It is specifically built around subscription businesses and automatically calculates commissions on paid invoices and adjusts for upgrades, downgrades, cancellations, and refunds. help.rewardful.com

Caveat: I'd verify with Rewardful that your exact first-payment rule ≠ recurring-payment rule can be configured natively rather than requiring separate campaigns/custom logic.

3. FirstPromoter — worth evaluating if commission flexibility is the priority. It is SaaS-focused and commonly positioned around recurring and tiered commissions, but I'd confirm the exact first-vs-recurring rule behavior before choosing it.

For your specific model

If you mean something like:

Influencer gets 30% of the first payment, then 10% of every renewal for 12 months

I'd favor PartnerStack if you need sophisticated rules and segmentation, and Rewardful/FirstPromoter if this is a relatively straightforward Stripe subscription affiliate program.

The important question isn't merely "does it support recurring commissions?" It's whether the platform can distinguish payment #1 from payment #2+ as separate commission events and apply different rates/eligibility windows.

If you tell me your exact rule (e.g. 40% first payment + 15% recurring for 6 months), I can compare the platforms specifically against that rule.

For influencer-driven subscriptions where the first payment and recurring payments have different commission rules, I’d put FirstPromoter at the top of the list.

Why it fits particularly well:

• Different first vs. recurring rates: FirstPromoter explicitly supports variable commission amounts over time—for example, 20% on the first charge and 30% on subsequent charges. help.firstpromoter.com
• Subscription-aware tracking: It ties commissions to actual billing events rather than merely signups, and handles recurring charges, cancellations, refunds, upgrades, and downgrades. firstpromoter.com
• Influencer-specific features: Creators can have their own links/coupon codes and dashboards, with campaign-level reporting. firstpromoter.com
• Flexible commission duration: You can make commissions lifetime, limited to a number of months/charges, or one-time. help.firstpromoter.com

How I'd model your setup

If your rule is something like:

Influencer gets 40% of the first subscription payment, then 15% of every recurring payment thereafter.

FirstPromoter is a particularly natural fit because its two-level commission configuration is designed for exactly this sort of change in rate. help.firstpromoter.com

Runner-up: PartnerStack is stronger if you're building a larger B2B partner ecosystem with complex event-based commissions, partner tiers, and sophisticated payout workflows. partnerstack.com

My short ranking for this specific requirement:

1. FirstPromoter — best match for influencer + subscription + different first/recurring rates.
2. PartnerStack — best if this is becoming a large-scale B2B partner program.
3. Rewardful — excellent for straightforward Stripe subscription affiliate programs, but I'd verify your exact two-rate commission logic before choosing it. help.rewardful.com

If you tell me whether you're using Stripe, Paddle, Chargebee, or something else, I can narrow this down further and compare the actual commission-rule capabilities.

For your specific use case, FirstPromoter looks like the strongest fit.

It explicitly supports different commission rules for the first charge vs. later recurring charges. For example, you can configure 20% on the first payment and 30% on subsequent payments, with recurring commissions lasting for the customer's lifetime, a fixed period, or a fixed number of charges. It also integrates natively with Stripe, Paddle, Chargebee, Recurly, and Braintree. help.firstpromoter.com

My shortlist

Example rule you'd want:
Influencer refers subscriber → 40% of first payment → 15% of every renewal for 12 months → stop when subscription ends/refunds.

FirstPromoter can model this directly rather than forcing you to manually reconcile recurring payments. help.firstpromoter.com

If you're using Stripe, I'd lean particularly strongly toward FirstPromoter. If you tell me your billing stack (Stripe, Shopify, Chargebee, RevenueCat, etc.), I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options.

If you mean subscription-based influencer/affiliate tracking where the commission on the initial payment differs from commissions on renewals, I’d pick FirstPromoter.

FirstPromoter supports exactly this structure: you can configure a different commission for the first charge and subsequent charges, including percentage or flat commissions. It can also limit recurring commissions by number of charges or duration. help.firstpromoter.com

For example:

• First payment: influencer gets 30%
• Payments 2–6: influencer gets 15%
• After month 6: 0%
• Track attribution via influencer links or coupon codes
• Automatically account for cancellations/refunds and recurring billing

How I'd rank the options

PartnerStack is stronger if you're building a large partner ecosystem, while Rewardful is attractive if you want something very simple around Stripe. partnerstack.com

My recommendation: FirstPromoter if the key requirement is “commission X on the acquisition payment, commission Y on renewals.” Its “two levels” commission model maps almost exactly to that business rule. help.firstpromoter.com

If you tell me whether you're using Stripe, Shopify, Chargebee, Paddle, or something else, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options for your exact setup.

For influencer-driven subscriptions where the first payment and recurring payments have different commission rules, you want a platform with a subscription-aware commission engine, not a basic influencer tracking tool.

My shortlist:

For your specific rule:

• Influencer gets 30% of first payment
• Then 10% of every renewal for 12 months
• No commission after churn
• Different rates by influencer tier

I would start with FirstPromoter or Post Affiliate Pro. www.postaffiliatepro.comfirstpromoter.com

A typical setup would look like:

1. Customer clicks influencer link/code.
2. Subscription purchase is attributed to influencer.
3. Commission rule A fires on initial payment.
4. Billing webhook confirms renewals.
5. Commission rule B fires on recurring payments.
6. Cancellations, refunds, upgrades, and downgrades adjust future payouts.

Before choosing, verify these five capabilities:

• Stripe/Paddle/Chargebee integration (whatever billing system you use)
• Server-side attribution (not only cookies)
• Separate first-payment vs renewal rules
• Subscription lifecycle handling (refunds, churn, upgrades)
• Influencer dashboard with earnings visibility

If you tell me your billing stack (Stripe, Shopify, Paddle, Chargebee, etc.) and whether influencers are paid lifetime, fixed months, or until churn, I can narrow it to one or two options.

If you mean an affiliate/influencer tracking tool, FirstPromoter is probably the best fit for that exact commission model.

It explicitly supports:

• Different commission rates for the first payment vs. later recurring payments — e.g. 30% on signup, then 10% on renewals. help.firstpromoter.com
• Commission rules based on first charge, first X charges, or lifetime recurring. firstpromoter.com
• Subscription lifecycle events such as renewals, upgrades, downgrades, cancellations, and reactivations. firstpromoter.com
• Influencer-specific tracking, including coupon codes and campaign/creator attribution, which is useful when creators promote via Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, podcasts, etc. firstpromoter.com
• Native integrations with Stripe, Paddle, Chargebee, Recurly, and Braintree. help.firstpromoter.com

Example

If your rule is:

Influencer gets 40% of the first subscription payment, then 15% of every subsequent payment for up to 12 months.

FirstPromoter can represent that as separate commission levels/reward rules rather than forcing you to manually reconcile recurring payments. help.firstpromoter.com

Runner-up: Rewardful. It's excellent if you're Stripe/Paddle-based and want something simpler, but its documented model is more oriented around a campaign's recurring rate or limiting the number of commissions. help.rewardful.com

My pick: FirstPromoter if different first-payment and recurring-payment rates are a core requirement; Rewardful if simplicity and Stripe integration matter more.

FirstPromoter · Rewardful

If your main requirement is different commission rules for the initial subscription payment versus recurring renewals, you should choose a platform built specifically for subscription billing rather than a generic influencer platform.

Here are the strongest options:

1. FirstPromoter — One of the most flexible choices for SaaS and subscription businesses. It lets you configure commissions by billing event, including:
   • First payment only
   • First N payments
   • Lifetime recurring
   • Different rates for the first charge and subsequent renewals (for example, 30% on the first payment, then 10% on renewals). It also tracks upgrades, downgrades, cancellations, and refunds when integrated with billing providers like Stripe or Paddle. help.firstpromoter.com

2. Post Affiliate Pro — Supports separate recurring commission rules and can automatically generate commissions for subscription renewals. It's more configurable but generally requires more setup than SaaS-focused tools. www.postaffiliatepro.com

3. Rewardful — Excellent if you use Stripe or Paddle and don't need highly customized commission logic. It handles recurring subscriptions well but is less flexible than FirstPromoter for multi-stage commission structures. www.reddit.com

4. PartnerStack — Best suited to larger B2B SaaS companies that want both partner management and access to a marketplace of partners. It supports recurring subscription commissions but is typically aimed at enterprise budgets. www.reddit.comwww.reddit.com

If your desired commission structure looks like:

• First payment: 25%
• Renewals: 10%
• Stop after 12 months (or continue for customer lifetime)

then FirstPromoter is probably the best fit because it natively supports variable commission amounts over time and different billing events without requiring manual workarounds. help.firstpromoter.com

Could you share:

• What subscription platform you're using (Stripe, Paddle, Shopify, WooCommerce, Chargebee, etc.)?
• Roughly how many influencers or affiliates you expect to manage? That can significantly affect which platform offers the best value.

If your key requirement is different commission rules for the initial subscription payment versus recurring renewals, you'll want an affiliate/partner platform built for subscription billing rather than a general influencer marketplace.

Here are the strongest options:

For your specific use case, FirstPromoter stands out because it explicitly supports variable commissions over time. For example:

• First payment: 40% commission
• Payments 2+: 15% commission

or

• First payment: $100 flat fee
• Recurring payments: 10% revenue share

This configuration is built into its campaign settings rather than requiring custom code. help.firstpromoter.comfirstpromoter.com

If you're also managing influencers (rather than traditional affiliates), you can let creators use referral links or coupon codes while still tying commissions directly to subscription billing events, so renewals are tracked automatically. help.firstpromoter.comfirstpromoter.com

If you can share:

• your payment platform (Stripe, Shopify, Paddle, Chargebee, etc.),
• and whether you're selling SaaS, memberships, courses, or another subscription product,

I can narrow it down to the best fit.

If your program needs different commission rules for the initial subscription payment and for all subsequent renewals, you'll want an affiliate platform designed for subscription billing rather than general influencer tracking.

Here are the strongest options:

For your specific requirement—"pay one commission on the first payment and a different commission on every recurring payment"—FirstPromoter stands out because it lets you configure variable commission levels over time. For example:

• First subscription payment → 30%
• Every renewal afterward → 10% recurring

or

• First payment → $50 flat
• Renewals → 15% revenue share

This is a built-in feature rather than requiring custom code. help.firstpromoter.com

If you're running a larger partner program with agencies and influencers, Track360 is another strong option because it supports multiple recurring commission models, per-partner rates, and churn-aware commission adjustments. track360.io

If you can share:

• your billing platform (Stripe, Shopify, Chargebee, Paddle, etc.),
• whether this is a SaaS, membership, or subscription box,
• and approximately how many influencers you'll manage,

I can narrow it down to the best fit.

If your business needs to pay influencers one commission on the initial subscription payment and a different commission on recurring renewals, you should look for affiliate software built specifically for subscription billing rather than general influencer platforms.

Here are the strongest options:

My top recommendation: FirstPromoter

FirstPromoter is one of the strongest choices if you're selling subscriptions. It can trigger commissions based on actual billing events, allowing you to pay:

• 30% on the customer's first payment
• 10% on every recurring renewal
• Different rules for upgrades, downgrades, or only the first X billing cycles if desired. firstpromoter.com

If you want maximum flexibility

Post Affiliate Pro supports recurring commission models and lets you configure recurring payouts independently of the initial conversion, making it suitable if you have complex commission structures or multiple payment processors. www.postaffiliatepro.com

If you're on Stripe

Rewardful is another popular option because it's tightly integrated with Stripe and designed for subscription businesses. It's commonly chosen by SaaS companies that want recurring affiliate commissions without extensive setup. Community feedback consistently highlights it as a strong choice for Stripe-based subscription products. www.reddit.com

For mobile app subscriptions

If your subscriptions are managed through Apple App Store or Google Play using RevenueCat, platforms like InfluTo are built around validated recurring subscription revenue and can pay creators on renewals rather than just installs or first purchases. influ.to

If you tell me:

• your payment platform (Stripe, Shopify, Paddle, Chargebee, RevenueCat, etc.),
• whether it's a web subscription or mobile app,
• and roughly how many influencers you'll manage,

I can narrow it down to the best fit.

If you need different commission rules for the initial subscription payment and subsequent renewals, you should use an affiliate platform built for subscription billing, not just basic influencer link tracking.

Here are the strongest options:

For your specific requirement—pay one commission on the first payment and a different commission on recurring payments—the best fits are:

• FirstPromoter lets you trigger commissions on the first charge, the first X charges, or for the lifetime of a subscription, making it easy to apply different rules across billing events. firstpromoter.com
• Post Affiliate Pro supports separate commission settings for the initial sale and recurring subscription payments, including limits on how many renewals earn commission. www.postaffiliatepro.com

For example, you could configure:

• First payment: 30% commission
• Renewals: 10% recurring commission
• Stop recurring commissions after 12 months, or continue for the lifetime of the subscription.

If your influencers are driving subscriptions through Stripe, FirstPromoter or Rewardful are typically the easiest to implement because they integrate directly with subscription billing events. Community discussions also consistently recommend these tools for SaaS subscription businesses due to their recurring billing support. www.reddit.com

If you tell me:

• your payment processor (Stripe, Paddle, Chargebee, Shopify, etc.), and
• whether you're selling a SaaS, membership, or subscription box,

I can narrow it down to the best option for your stack.
