Best link-in-bio affiliate programs in 2026

If you write about creator tools, link-in-bio products are one of the easiest things to recommend — everyone needs one. Here’s how to compare the main affiliate programs on the four things that actually decide what you earn.

Last updated: July 2026 · We publish Linkos, so we’ve only made concrete claims about our own program.

What actually matters in an affiliate program

Commission percentage gets the attention, but it’s rarely the number that decides your payout.

Commission

% or flat fee — and crucially, one-time or recurring.

Cookie window

How long after a click you still get credit. 30 days is common, 60+ is generous.

Payout threshold

The balance you must reach before they’ll pay you. High thresholds trap small earnings.

Approval & terms

Minimum audience, allowed channels, and how quickly commissions get approved.

Comparison at a glance

We don’t publish other providers’ commission, cookie or payout figures, because those change often and vary by plan. Always check each program’s current terms on its own affiliate page — the cells below only make concrete claims about Linkos.

The programs in detail

LLinkosOur program

You earn a percentage of the referral’s first payment when they subscribe to a paid plan (Starter €2/mo or Pro €7/mo, billed annually). The exact rate is confirmed on approval; there’s no commission on free-only signups. Free to join, no minimum audience, and we email you for every signup and payment. Payouts are handled by our team via PayPal or bank transfer once you pass the minimum threshold.

StrongNo minimum audience, transparent per-conversion email tracking, fast manual approval, and a genuinely useful product at a low price your audience will pay.

Honest limitationCommission is one-time on the first payment, not recurring — and Linkos is a younger brand than Linktree.

How to choose one

If your audience clicks and buys quickly, a high one-time commission wins. If they take weeks to decide, the cookie window matters more than the percentage — a longer cookie will often out-earn a higher rate with a short one.

Check the payout threshold too. A high threshold on a small commission means many conversions before you see a cent. And whatever you pick: only promote a tool you’d actually recommend — affiliate income built on a product you don’t use dries up fast.

Frequently asked questions

Which link-in-bio affiliate program pays the most?

It depends on your audience’s speed to purchase. Compare the commission and the cookie window together — a longer cookie often beats a higher percentage. And a high rate on a product your audience won’t pay for earns nothing.

Can I join more than one program?

Yes, most allow it. Many creators promote whichever tool they genuinely use and keep a second as a backup recommendation.

Do link-in-bio programs pay recurring commission?

Some do, many don’t. Linkos pays a percentage of the first payment. Always check whether a headline percentage quoted elsewhere is one-time or recurring.
