Leonardo.Ai Affiliate Program
No, you cannot join. Leonardo.Ai closed its affiliate program on 7 April 2026, and its help centre still says no new applications are being accepted when we re-checked on 9 November 2026. Commissions earned before the close were paid automatically through Impact.com. The only related route left, the Leonardo Creator Program, has applications on hold behind a waitlist. For the record, the closed program paid 60% of a new subscriber's first month, with a 30 day cookie.

The historical terms were 60% of one month, not 25% for six
The figure repeated across affiliate directories for this program is 25% on the first six payments. Leonardo's own help centre describes something different: 60% of the first month's payment from each new subscriber, on consumer plans only, excluding Leonardo for Teams and API plans.
Those are very different offers. On a plan priced at $24 a month, 60% of one month is about $14 once; 25% for six months would have been about $36. Neither is claimable now, but the difference matters if you are auditing old content or judging the directories that still print the wrong number.
The Creator Program page still advertises the affiliate link
The page people now land on is the Leonardo Creator Program. It says applications are currently on hold and offers a waitlist instead.
Its benefit list still includes earning money through access to the affiliate program, next to a free subscription and complimentary tokens. That line is out of date: the affiliate program it refers to closed in April, and the help centre is explicit about it. Read the creator page as a perks-and-showcase program for artists, with no commission attached today, and do not join the waitlist expecting a referral link.
How the wind-down was handled
Leonardo stated that all eligible commissions earned before 7 April would be paid automatically through Impact.com, the same network that tracked referrals while the program ran. Programs that close sometimes let small balances lapse under a payout threshold, so automatic settlement is the correct handling.
If you had a balance that never arrived, your Impact.com account holds the record. Leonardo has not published a reason for closing, and we are not going to supply one.
Replacing Leonardo links in image-tool content
Any review or comparison still pointing at a Leonardo affiliate link now earns nothing and should be swapped.
Programs that are open in the same space include Kittl for design, Higgsfield, which launched a public affiliate page this autumn paying up to 25% for 12 months, and Postcrest, whose plans bundle AI image generation with video and audio at 30% of a first year. Each has its own page on this site with the terms we verified.
