What Tolt does best

Tolt keeps affiliate programs simple for early-stage SaaS: referral tracking, commission rules, and affiliate payouts without enterprise complexity. Like the other affiliate tools here, it answers “who earned what” — not “which link got clicked.”

Where Slugy fits alongside it

  • Branded affiliate links — your domain on every partner share, from day one.
  • Startup-friendly pricing — a genuinely free plan with no credit card, matching Tolt's lightweight ethos.
  • QR + bio included — codes for launch events and link-in-bio pages for creator affiliates.
  • Open source — inspect the code, self-host if you outgrow the cloud.
