HONEST COMPARISON · UPDATED OCTOBER 2026

Partli vs Tolt: caps, payout fees and agents.

Tolt is affiliate software built for SaaS startups. It integrates with Stripe, Paddle and Chargebee, has a rules engine for commissions (time-limited, per-plan, tiered by customer count), the Radar fraud toolkit, and an MCP server for querying program data.

SHORT ANSWER
Tolt is a SaaS-focused affiliate tool with a flexible commission rules engine, a built-in fraud toolkit and a no-card trial, priced from $69/mo for up to $10,000 of affiliate revenue. Automated payouts carry a 2% fee. Partli starts at $29/mo with no revenue cap, charges nothing on PayPal, Wise or bank payouts, and its MCP server can act, where Tolt's is read-only today.

  • PartnerStack: B2B SaaS running channel, reseller and co-sell programs with a dedicated partnerships team.
  • Dub Partners: Teams already on Dub links, or that want managed global payouts with tax compliance and SOC 2.
  • Tapfiliate: Ecommerce stores on platforms like BigCommerce or Magento, or programs that need multi-level commissions.
  • Affonso: Very early SaaS with little affiliate revenue yet, or teams that want a built-in affiliate marketplace.
