Simplified Affiliate Program
Yes, Simplified runs an open affiliate program with recurring commission, but its two official pages disagree on the rate. The affiliate page on simplified.com advertises 40% recurring, while the FirstPromoter portal where you actually sign up says 25% recurring. Payouts go by PayPal or Wise once you reach $50 with at least two referrals, and the cookie is given as 30 days in one place and 45 days in another.

Which rate applies: 40% or 25%
Simplified's affiliate page leads with "Earn 40% recurring commission on every referral" and gives a worked example: a referral who spends $100 earns you $40. The page you are sent to when you click Join Now is a FirstPromoter portal at affiliate.simplified.com, and it says "Earn 25% recurring commissions for recommending paying customers".
The portal is where the commission is configured and tracked, so 25% is the safer figure to plan around, and we have recorded it as such with low confidence. Ask Simplified to confirm your rate in writing when you join; if it is 40%, the program is among the most generous in the AI marketing category. The marketing page also points to terms "at the bottom of our affiliate program page" and on the portal, but neither page shows them before you register.
What a Starter referral earns at each rate
Simplified has repositioned itself around AI marketing agents that plan and publish campaigns, and its pricing page anchors on Starter at $79 a month for five campaigns. Pro and Business prices are shown inside the app rather than in the page text.
- At 25%, a Starter subscriber earns you $19.75 a month.
- At 40%, the same subscriber earns $31.60 a month.
Neither page limits the commission to 12 months, so on the published wording a subscriber who stays two years keeps paying you. Extra campaigns at $10 each and add-ons such as extra seats may or may not count; the pages do not say.
The payout condition and the cookie contradiction
The payout rule has a second condition most programs do not: you need a $50 balance and at least two referrals. A single high-value referral is not enough to get paid.
The cookie is also stated twice. One paragraph says a visitor must sign up "within 30 days" of clicking, and the FAQ on the same page says "The referral cookie life is 45 days". Assume 30 days until the portal confirms otherwise.
For marketers comparing options, Jasper pays 25% for 12 months, rising to 30%, under a published agreement, and Writesonic pays 20% for 12 months with fully documented terms. Simplified may pay more and for longer, but it documents less.
