HONEST COMPARISON · UPDATED OCTOBER 2026

Partli vs Dub Partners: pricing and payout fees.

Dub Partners is the affiliate product from Dub, the link management platform. It handles tracking, rewards and global payouts with tax compliance, and offers an API, SDKs and an MCP server.

SHORT ANSWER
Dub Partners is a polished, developer-friendly affiliate platform built on Dub's link infrastructure, with flexible reward conditions, SOC 2 and managed global payouts with tax forms. It starts at $90/mo with $2,500 of partner payouts a month and a 5% payout fee (8% by card). Partli starts at $29/mo, has no payout cap, and charges 1% plus Stripe at cost on payouts it sends, or nothing when you pay through your own PayPal, Wise or bank.

Fees on $10,000 of commissions. Dub's help center lists a 5% payout fee for bank transfers on Business and Advanced; it doesn't say which amount it's calculated on. If it's the payout amount, $10,000 of commissions costs about $500 on Dub, and the $2,500 Business limit means you'd need Advanced at $300/mo. Partli sending the same $10,000 through Stripe costs $100 (1%) plus Stripe at cost, and $0 from Partli if you pay through your own PayPal or Wise.
