Submit Your AI Affiliate Program
Short answer: fill in the form below and pick a path. It is free if you display the “Featured on zPlatform” badge or a text link on your own site, and $49 one-time if you would rather skip the queue with no badge. Either way your program gets a hand-verified entry in the AI affiliate programs directory, with your commission rate, cookie duration and payment terms checked against your own affiliate page. Free entries publish within 15 business days of the badge being verified; paid entries within 5. The fee buys queue position, never directory position.

Option A: the badge
<a href="https://zplatform.ai/best-ai-tools/best-ai-affiliate-programs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Featured on zPlatform.ai"><img src="https://zplatform.ai/badges/zplatform-featured.png" alt="Featured on zPlatform" width="200" height="60" loading="lazy" /></a> Option B: a plain text link
<a href="https://zplatform.ai/best-ai-tools/best-ai-affiliate-programs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Featured on zPlatform AI Affiliate Programs</a> Other sizes and formats are on the brand assets page. A footer, an “as featured in” strip, or your affiliate page itself all work.
Every submission is read by Alston Antony. Programs without documented commission terms are set aside on either path. Our payment terms apply to the paid path. Prefer email? alston@zplatform.ai
Free vs fast-track, line by line
The entry itself is identical. What the fee changes is when it publishes, whether you carry a badge, and where you sit in the queue for everything else.

Neither tier buys directory position. Programs in the article are ordered by Domain Rating, and there is no paid override. There is also no sponsored slot on the directory to buy - if you want openly paid placement, that is OUTBID.
What a directory entry is worth
An affiliate program is only as good as the affiliates who find it. Here is what this particular page does for that.
Read by people looking for a program to join, not a tool to buy
The affiliate directory answers a different query from the rest of the site: somebody who already knows they want to promote AI tools and is choosing between programs. That is a much shorter distance to a signup than a general tool search, and it is the only page on zPlatform serving that intent.
Your terms verified, so affiliates believe them
Commission rate, cookie duration and payment terms are read off your own affiliate page and checked before anything publishes. An unverified rate on a random blog convinces nobody. A checked one, sitting next to your competitors, does the arguing for you.
Ranked next to the programs you are competing with
Programs sit in one ranked article covering 96 verified programs across 13 categories. Being absent from it is the problem: an affiliate comparing options in your category simply never sees you.
Structured for the question people actually ask
Entries are written so answer engines can lift a specific figure when somebody asks what a program pays or how long its cookie lasts. That is the shape those engines quote, and it is not what a marketing page gives them.
Any network, including your own
PartnerStack, Impact, ShareASale, Rewardful, FirstPromoter, CJ, Awin, or an in-house portal you built yourself. All we need is a URL an affiliate can sign up on.
Kept current, free, for as long as it is listed
Commission structures change. Email the new terms and the entry is re-verified and re-dated at no charge on either tier. A directory full of stale rates is worse than no directory, so this is maintenance, not an upsell.
What gets listed, and what gets set aside
Five checks, applied the same way on both tiers. A paid submission we decline before verification starts is refunded.
- The program is open for sign-ups today
No waitlists, no "coming soon" programs, no closed betas. An affiliate has to be able to join it now.
- AI is core to the product
The tool or platform the program promotes needs AI at the centre of what it does, not as a homepage label.
- Commission terms are publicly documented
Rate, payment terms and cookie duration have to be verifiable somewhere: your affiliate page, a public knowledge base, or a network profile. If we cannot check it, we cannot publish it.
- No inflated earnings claims
Programs advertising unrealistic affiliate income are set aside. The directory is read by people deciding where to spend their promotion effort.
- A working sign-up URL
A page an affiliate can actually click through and register on, whether that is your portal or a network listing.
Other ways to get in front of the same readers
A directory entry covers the affiliate-recruitment intent. These cover the rest.
List the product itself
An affiliate program and the product behind it are different listings. The tool gets a verified-facts profile on the AI tools board through /submit-ai-tool/, on the same free-or-$49 terms. Most founders do both.
Buy a position outright, from $1
OUTBID is the openly sponsored leaderboard. Bid any whole amount from $1, take the rank it earns, live in minutes, labelled sponsored and kept off every editorial page. It is the honest answer when you want visibility this week.
Commission real coverage
A hands-on review, a video demo, a founder interview or a dedicated guide, all researched and written by a named human. Quoted by email on /advertise/. Verdicts stay independent.

Submitting an AI Affiliate Program: FAQ
How do I submit my affiliate program?
Use the form at the top of this page. Enter the product name, its URL, your affiliate program URL, the category, and a sentence or two on what the product does. Then pick a path: free if you display the "Featured on zPlatform" badge or a text link on your own site, or $49 to skip the queue with no badge needed. Free entries publish within 15 business days of the badge being verified; paid within 5.
Can I submit an affiliate program for free?
Yes. Add the "Featured on zPlatform" badge or a plain text link to a page on your own site, paste that page's URL into the form, and it is checked automatically in about ten seconds. The entry is identical to a paid one apart from the queue position, the newsletter slot and priority on editorial consideration. It stays listed as long as the badge does.
What does the $49 actually buy?
Queue position and the listing slot, with no badge required on your site. That is the whole list. It does not buy a higher position in the directory, a better-looking commission figure, or the removal of a competing program. The article ranks programs by Domain Rating, and no payment touches that ordering.
Can I pay for a sponsored slot at the top of the directory?
Not today. There is no sponsored placement on the affiliate directory, and this page will not sell one until there is. If you want openly paid placement now, OUTBID is the surface built for it: bid from $1, take the rank your bid buys, labelled sponsored and walled off from every editorial page. For commissioned coverage of the product itself, that is the advertise page.
Where exactly does my program appear?
In the ranked AI affiliate programs article at https://zplatform.ai/best-ai-tools/best-ai-affiliate-programs/, alongside 96 verified programs across 13 categories, with your commission rate, cookie duration, payment terms, category and a direct sign-up link. There are no separate per-program pages: that structure was retired in August 2026, and this page does not pretend otherwise.
What details do I need to have ready?
The product name and URL, your affiliate program URL, your email, a category, and a short description. Network name and commission terms are optional on the form because we read them off your affiliate page ourselves. If something there is unclear or missing, you get an email asking rather than a guess in the directory.
Do you take programs on PartnerStack, Impact, ShareASale, Rewardful, or in-house networks?
Any network is eligible, including one you built yourself. The only requirement is a URL an affiliate can click through and sign up on.
Will my submission definitely get listed?
No. Programs that fail the criteria on this page are set aside on either tier, and a paid submission we decline before verification starts gets the $49 back. The most common reason for a decline is commission terms that are not documented anywhere we can check.
Can I update my entry after it publishes?
Yes, free, on either tier. Email alston@zplatform.ai with what changed - a new rate, a different cookie window, a network migration, a payment-terms change - and the entry is re-verified against your page and re-dated. We do not hand over editing access, because the value of the entry is that somebody checked it.
My AI tool already has a lifetime deal. Can I submit both?
Yes, and they are separate things. The affiliate program comes through this form. The product itself goes through the AI tool submission form, which is also where a lifetime deal gets flagged for the deals roundup.
My product is not SaaS. Can I still submit?
As long as it is AI-related and has a genuine affiliate program, yes. Digital products, courses, and agencies running AI tooling have all been listed.
Does paying change how my program is described?
No. The verified data on the entry - rate, cookie duration, payment terms, category - is checked against your own source either way. A fee never buys a rate that is not real or a claim we could not confirm. That is the only reason an affiliate would trust the directory enough for a listing in it to be worth having.
