Start freeBook a demo

For SaaS teams, Affonso is the better fit. It starts at €15/mo with no transaction fees, while Impact charges $30–$2,500+/mo plus 2.5% on every partner-driven sale. Affonso ships native Stripe billing, an embeddable dashboard, and managed payouts on every plan; Impact requires custom API work for SaaS subscriptions and gates key features behind enterprise tiers. Impact has a larger partner marketplace and best-in-class Forensiq fraud detection — both built for enterprise B2C/D2C, not for SaaS.
