Each discount applies to the regular Elite plan price for that year. After year three, the regular Elite price applies. Check the pricing page for the current plan price and limits. We will confirm the billing details with you before you join.

What the plan includes

The discount gives you the full Elite plan. You can use Affonso to work with your AI agent, get your program discovered in the Marketplace, and manage partner payouts. Elite also includes unlimited team seats, unlimited affiliate groups, and a dedicated customer success manager. See the Elite plan details for the current feature list.

To qualify, your SaaS company must meet all of these criteria when you apply:
