ElevenLabs Affiliate Program
Yes, the ElevenLabs affiliate program is open, and the headline figure is 22% of payments for a referred subscriber's first 12 months. Two things the headline hides, both from ElevenLabs' own affiliate terms (last updated 10 June 2026): the rate drops to 11% on the Business plan, and enterprise purchases earn nothing at all. Payment goes through PartnerStack at the end of the third month following the month a commission is earned, so expect a long lag between the sale and the money.

The rate halves exactly where the money is
Almost every write-up of this program gives a single number, 22%. ElevenLabs' own affiliate terms give two, and the second one matters:
Referrals for Business Plan: 11%. Referrals for Starter, Creator, Pro, or Scale Plans: 22%.
So the rate is cut in half on Business, and the terms separately exclude enterprise entirely: "Commissions are not available for enterprise-level purchases."
Think about who that affects. ElevenLabs sells voice synthesis into audiobook production, e-learning, dubbing and customer support, and the buyers with real budget land on Business or enterprise. If your content reaches companies, your best conversions pay half rate or nothing. If it reaches individual creators and small teams on Starter through Scale, you get the full 22%.
This is the same shape as Jasper excluding Business and Synthesia excluding Enterprise. It is worth checking on any program before you aim content at a business audience.
The payment lag is unusually long
The terms are precise: "Commission payments will be made at the end of the third month following the date upon which the commission is earned."
Read that carefully. A commission earned in January is paid at the end of April. That is roughly a quarter between the sale and the payment, which is long even by the standards of programs that hold against refunds. Synthesia pays in the first five business days of the month after commission falls due, and Pickaxe pays a week after each customer payment.
It is not unreasonable for a subscription product with refund exposure, but it does mean this program is unsuited to anyone who needs quick feedback on whether a campaign works. Plan on a full quarter before the first payment confirms anything.
Two numbers we will not put in the table without qualification
A 90 day cookie and a $5 payout threshold are widely quoted for this program, including in our own dataset from an earlier research pass. Neither appears in ElevenLabs' published affiliate terms or on its program page, both of which we read in full for this update.
They are plausible, and a $5 threshold in particular is characteristic of PartnerStack programs. But we have flagged them rather than presenting them as verified, because the terms document that does exist is silent on both.
If either matters to your plans, both are visible in the PartnerStack dashboard after approval, and that is the authoritative place to read them.
What the June 2026 rewrite of the terms added
ElevenLabs rewrote its program terms on 10 June 2026 and renamed the scheme the Creator Affiliate Program. The rates did not move, but the rules around them got much longer.
The paid media clause is now explicit: you may not bid on or target any ElevenLabs mark, or a confusingly similar term, on paid search, paid social, app store or any other paid platform, and you may not put the mark inside the ad itself. Domain names, subdomains and social handles containing the brand are banned too, as is using the name in meta tags, alt text or schema markup to influence search or AI ranking.
Three other terms change who can join. You need an active ElevenLabs account, only natural persons can register, and one person or entity may hold only one referral account. ElevenLabs can also end your participation if you generate no commission-eligible activity for a year, so a link that sits unused is at risk.
And the tracking rule from the old terms still stands: transactions made without your affiliate link do not qualify. Someone who hears a voice sample in your video and later types elevenlabs.io into a browser earns you nothing.
How to join the ElevenLabs program
- Create or sign in to an ElevenLabs account, which the terms require, then join at elevenlabs.io/affiliates. The program runs through PartnerStack.
- Read the terms at elevenlabs.io/affiliates-terms first, particularly the 11% Business rate, the enterprise exclusion and the paid media ban.
- Confirm the cookie window and payout threshold in the PartnerStack dashboard, since the published terms do not state either.
- Plan cash flow for a payment at the end of the third month following the month a commission is earned.
- Add the affiliate disclosure and the trademark attribution line the terms require to any site that shows the ElevenLabs name.
