Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching from Impact to Affonso.

Impact starts at $30/month for the Starter tier (or 3% of monthly revenue, whichever is higher) plus a 2.5% transaction fee.

Yes. Affonso offers free migration support on all plans. Export your partner data and historical reports from Impact (CSV via UI or Reports API), share them with the Affonso team, and they handle the transfer.04What features does Affonso have that Impact doesn't?
Affonso ships native one-click integrations with Stripe, Paddle, Polar, Creem, and Dodo Payments, an embeddable referral dashboard you can drop into your SaaS app, transparent self-serve pricing with no transaction fees, no setup fee, and a 15-minute setup. Affonso also ships an MCP server, official SDK, and CLI — Impact does not.
