Best affiliate software for new and small networks: start for €0

Starting an affiliate network on a small budget: what you need from day one, what can wait, and why RastroAff's free plan and €24.99 Starter suit new networks.

Updated on 4 Nov 2026

A new network has few affiliates, a handful of advertisers and no budget for enterprise software. It still needs the same reliable tracking as a large one, because every lost conversion is a lost commission and a lost affiliate. Here is how to pick software that fits now and still fits when you grow.

What you need from day one

  • Reliable tracking: server-to-server postbacks, so conversions don't depend on cookies.
  • Fraud checks: a new network is an easy target for bots and fake leads.
  • A clear affiliate portal: affiliates stay with networks where they can see every click and euro.
  • Payouts: balances, payout requests and a record of every payment.

What can wait

Your own brand and domains, sub-affiliates, automatic CRM imports and a large team. Choose software where you can add these later without migrating.
