From lifetime to 12 months: what changed
Pineapple Builder used to advertise a lifetime 30% commission through Rewardful with a very low payout threshold. That Rewardful sign-up now displays "this affiliate program is no longer active", and the new partner page sets different terms: 30% for 12 months, a $50 threshold, a 30 day review period and an application that is reviewed before you get a link.
Existing affiliates are protected: the page says existing referral agreements and earned commissions stay in place. New partners join on the 12 month terms.
What a referral is worth after the 10% discount
The pricing page lists Starter at $16 a month billed yearly ($192) and Grow at $39 a month billed yearly ($468). Your audience's code takes 10% off the first invoice, and commission is calculated on what is paid, with taxes and refunds excluded.
An annual Starter sale with the code is a $172.80 invoice, worth $51.84 to you, enough on its own to clear the $50 threshold once the 30 day review passes. An annual Grow sale is a $421.20 invoice, worth $126.36. On annual billing the 12 month window covers just that one invoice, so these are the full amounts per sale. Monthly subscribers pay full price from the second invoice, which raises your later commissions slightly.
Plan names and payouts to confirm
The affiliate terms limit commission to "eligible new Basic and Grow subscriptions". The pricing page sells Free, Starter and Grow, with no plan called Basic. It is most likely that Basic means Starter, but confirm that in writing before you promote Starter, since it is the plan most small businesses will pick.
Payouts are the other soft spot. They are arranged by hand, subject to approval, and the page says plainly that "no payment date is guaranteed". Clicks and sign-ups alone earn nothing; only paying customers count.
Pineapple Builder against 10Web
10Web, the AI WordPress builder, pays the same 30% for the first 12 months, tracked through Impact with monthly payouts. 10Web publishes a fixed monthly payout; Pineapple pays by hand with no guaranteed date, but gives your audience 10% off the first invoice and targets owners who want a simple hosted site rather than WordPress.
For content aimed at consultants, coaches and local businesses that want a site live today with forms, bookings and a chat bot, Pineapple is the closer fit. For readers committed to WordPress, 10Web is.
