Score to find the right program. That's PickRate.

The old way is broken

Affiliate program discovery in 2026 still runs on outdated blog posts and biased "top 10" lists. That's not research. That's content marketing.

Without PickRate

  • Google "best affiliate programs 2026"
  • Read 15 blog posts that all list the same programs
  • No conversion data, just commission percentages
  • Sign up for Amazon Associates at 3% commission
  • Need 5,556 sales to make $5K/month

With PickRate

  • Search by niche, payout type, or score
  • See programs ranked by conversion x payout
  • Compare cookie duration, EPC, and recurring revenue
  • Find a SaaS program paying $200 recurring
  • Need 25 sales to make $5K/month

How the score works

01

Commission structure

Flat fee vs. percentage. One-time vs. recurring. High-ticket vs. volume. We weight each model differently because $150 once is not the same as $30/month for 12 months.

02

Conversion signals

Cookie duration, brand trust, reported EPC, landing page quality. The programs that convert aren't always the ones with the biggest names.

03

The PickRate Score

One number that balances payout against real-world convertibility. High payout with zero conversions is worthless. High conversions at 3% commission is a trap. PickRate finds the sweet spot.

The difference between $10K/year and $100K/year is which programs you pick

PickRate exists because affiliate marketers deserve better than guesswork. Every program, scored. Every niche, ranked.
