How to Earn Recurring Commission with the SubsiMail Affiliate Program
2026-09-16
If you write about sales tools, run a newsletter for founders, or just talk to people who send a lot of outbound email, there's a straightforward way to turn that into recurring income: refer them to SubsiMail.
The math, plainly
Most SaaS affiliate programs pay a one-time bounty and stop. SubsiMail's doesn't:
- First 12 months: 40% of every payment your referral makes, on any plan.
- After 12 months: 20%, for as long as they stay a paying customer -- no end date.
- Upgrades: the same rate automatically applies to the new, higher plan amount.
- If they cancel: commission just stops going forward. Nothing you've already been paid is clawed back.
Plans run $49-$199/mo (plus a custom Enterprise tier), so a single referral on the Pro plan ($99/mo) is worth roughly $475 in your first year alone, then keeps paying $20/mo indefinitely after that as long as they stick around.
Getting paid
There's no minimum for your first 5 confirmed referrals -- each one pays out as soon as the commission confirms (their first payment clears our 14-day refund window). From the 6th referral on, payouts run twice a month once your unpaid confirmed commission reaches $50.
How it actually works
- Sign up -- no approval process, you get a referral link and code instantly.
- Share it. Anyone who signs up through your link, or types your code in at signup, is permanently linked to you.
- Once their first payment clears the refund window, your commission is confirmed. Every renewal after that confirms immediately.
- Get paid.
Self-referrals don't count, and a refunded first payment voids that particular commission -- otherwise there's no cap on how many people you refer.
Who actually fits this
SubsiMail is a self-hosted cold email outreach tool: multi-step sequences, open/click tracking, reply detection, and a full REST API, running entirely on the customer's own server with their own connected inbox (Gmail, Outlook, or SMTP) -- no shared sending infrastructure. That's a real differentiator against Instantly/Smartlead/lemlist-style tools, and it resonates strongly with two audiences in particular:
- B2B sales teams and agencies who are tired of shared-IP reputation risk and per-seat pricing.
- The self-hosted/privacy-conscious crowd -- people who already run their own infrastructure and want their outreach data to live there too.
If your audience overlaps with either of those, this is a genuinely easy recommendation to make -- not a stretch pitch for an unrelated product.
