Common questions about Komissio vs Rewardful

Komissio Starter is $49/month with no revenue caps; Rewardful Starter is $49/mo (capped at $7,500/mo affiliate revenue) with a $7,500/mo on Starter cap.

Can I migrate from Rewardful to Komissio?

Yes. Komissio's team handles migration from Rewardful for free. We import your affiliate data, tracking links, and commission history. Migration typically takes under an hour.

What is first-party affiliate tracking and why does it matter?

First-party tracking sets cookies on your own domain (e.g., partners.yoursaas.com), which Safari ITP, Firefox ETP, and ad blockers do not block. Third-party cookies (used by Rewardful) are silently dropped on these browsers, causing 30-50% of conversions to be lost.

Does Komissio support recurring commissions for SaaS subscriptions?

Yes. Komissio listens to Stripe invoice.paid webhook events and automatically creates a commission for every subscription renewal. You configure the recurring commission duration (12 months, lifetime, etc.) and rate.
