Enterprise-scale affiliate management
The Refersion alternative
Refersion is the established enterprise option. Their cheapest tier is $99/mo with a hard cap of 50 affiliates, and you pay extra for migration, tax forms, and 1099 filing. LinkQuill ships every feature on day one — including a free tier and unlimited affiliates on Starter — at a fraction of the cost.
Why brands switch:
No affiliate cap, integrated marketplace, 1099 + tax + payouts included, $29 vs $99.

"But Refersionhas..."
Refersion has years of enterprise pedigree.
Fair. LinkQuill is newer, but we've modeled every architectural decision on the same enterprise-grade primitives — atomic state machines, audit logs, CAS-guarded payouts, idempotency on every Stripe + PayPal call. The /security page enumerates the controls.
Their Shopify integration is well-known.
Our Shopify integration uses the OAuth + signed-webhook pattern with bot UA filtering and per-program fraud thresholds. We're reasonably confident in it — see the /docs page for the technical detail.
