About each program
GetResponse Affiliate Program
GetResponse pays affiliates a recurring share of referred customers' payments for a year, with the rate climbing from Bronze to Silver and Gold as annual sales grow. Higher tiers add roadmap webinars and direct access to the head of partnerships.
Kit Affiliate Program
Kit (formerly ConvertKit) pays affiliates half of what a referred creator pays in their first year on its email marketing platform. Affiliates who refer at least 10 paying customers a year reach Bronze, Silver or Gold status and keep earning a recurring cut beyond year one.
