Frequently asked questions

What is a good way to evaluate a design affiliate program?

Use the product, understand its target user, compare its pricing and workflow, then review the affiliate terms separately.

Can a lower commission design tool be a better choice?

Yes. Better audience fit and higher conversion can outweigh a larger headline commission on a product readers do not need.

PartnerScoutHQ does not guarantee program availability, acceptance or earnings. Commission rates, cookie periods, attribution and payout terms can change. Confirm current terms with the advertiser before applying.
