WHY APPAPEX CONVERTS

A product iOS founders actually need.

AppApex replaces the scattered stack most iOS founders pay for — ASO, reviews, screenshots, competitor intel, and paywalls in one system. It solves expensive, recurring problems, which means the referrals you send tend to stick around and your commissions keep compounding.

High-intent audience

App founders are already paying for growth tools. You are pointing them to a better one.

Recurring revenue model

Subscriptions mean recurring commissions. One good referral pays you for a full year.

An exclusive discount to offer

Your audience saves on their first payments — a real reason to use your link over a plain search.

Frequently asked questions

You earn 30% of every subscription payment from customers you refer, for the first 12 months after their first paid invoice. Ten referrals on Growth ($99/mo) is roughly $297/mo, about $3,564 across year one. A referral who pays yearly settles in a single payment, so that commission arrives once rather than monthly.

A yearly subscription is a single payment, so it earns a single commission of 30% of that payment rather than twelve monthly ones. Annual is the default choice on our pricing page, so plan on most referrals paying you once and up front.

Payouts run monthly once your balance clears the $50 minimum; anything below that rolls over. Commission is held for 30 days before it becomes payable, which covers chargebacks and disputed payments. We confirm your payout method when you are approved.

Last-touch attribution with a 60-day cookie. If someone clicks your link and subscribes within 60 days, the referral is credited to you. Only new AppApex accounts qualify — existing and reactivating customers are not eligible. For strategic partners we can protect attribution manually.

Commission is calculated on the amount your referral actually pays, after any discount. AppApex is a flat subscription that includes all AI usage, so there are no separate add-ons to account for. Chargebacks, disputed or reversed payments, taxes, and payment-processor fees are excluded.

No. Every affiliate is reviewed by hand before activation. This keeps the program high quality and ensures AppApex is promoted to the right audience of iOS founders and app marketers.

Anyone who signs up through your link gets 20% off their first 3 months on monthly billing, or 10% off year one on annual billing — a real reason for your audience to use your link.

No. Being a customer helps you speak credibly about the product, but it is not a requirement. What matters is that you genuinely reach iOS founders, app marketers, or the people who advise them.
