I'm looking for an easy way to track and pay affiliates/partners that send business to my SAAS app. Any recommendations? I've looked into Share a Sale and Commission Junction but they're expensive. I've been unable to find a program for startups.

Do you need an affiliate base? Or can you build it on your own? If you need an affiliate base, you have fewer options, as CJ and Shareasale and a lot of other networks bring a large publisher base to you. It's still up to you to have a compelling product to sell and a lucrative commission for the publishers to sign up, but at least you have a head start there. If you don't need an affiliate base and are happy "building from scratch" and have ways to publicize your program, there are plenty of less expensive choices -- hasoffers.com is one that comes to mind.

Thanks Johnson, that's helpful. For now I'm willing to build from scratch. I'm securing partnerships that require the use of an affiliate tracking program.

Can you install the software yourself? Because there are some open source software as well as paid ones.

All can be installed on your machines.

Let me know if you can handle it yourself and I'll link you.

If HasOffers feels like a fit, then it's definitely worth considering CampaignEQ and getting a demo: http://campaigneq.com/

I would definitely go with hasoffers for the long term (starting at $270/mo), however if budget is an issue "postaffiliatepro" (PAP) is a good solution at $49-$99 per month.

Hasoffers is the 2nd runner up in the space, but http://www.cakemarketing.com is the top choice of most professional affiliates. It may be slightly more expensive, but far more robust if you're looking to do meaningful volume.
