Frequently asked questions
How much does FirstPromoter cost?
FirstPromoter's Starter plan is $49/month for up to $5,000 of affiliate revenue a month and 1,000 affiliates; Business is $99/month up to $15,000; Enterprise is $149/month above that. Annual billing is $490, $990 and $1,490.
Does FirstPromoter have an MCP server?
Yes, in beta on all plans, usable from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. FirstPromoter says money movement is left out of its tool set on purpose. Partli's MCP server includes payouts, with a confirmation step before money moves.
Is FirstPromoter better for Chargebee users?
Yes. FirstPromoter integrates natively with Chargebee, Recurly and Braintree. Partli does not, though any billing system can report sales to Partli through its REST API.
Can I migrate from FirstPromoter to Partli?
Yes. Partli imports a FirstPromoter partner export and keeps existing referral codes wherever they are free.
