How we compare
A membership, not a cut of every order
Commission marketplaces take 15 to 20 percent of what you sell, and Amazon's referral fee runs 8 to 15 percent before fulfilment. On roughly $250,000 a year that is tens of thousands of dollars. Membership here starts at $990 a year for a solo entrepreneur, $2,990 for Main Street, whatever your sales do.

Flat, annual, rate locked
The one exception, stated plainly: on big-ticket referrals (vehicles, marine, equipment, modular homes) a flat lead fee applies per qualified lead, tiered by deal size and agreed in writing first. It is a lead fee, never a commission on your revenue.
Comparison reviewed 2026-09-01. Rival figures describe published fee models rather than named companies; verify directly before deciding. See the full table.
Pay the year, two months are free
Prepay twelve months and the rate locks for the full term: two months free at every level, whether you are on Solo at $99 or Main Street at $299. The price never moves with your sales volume.
Prepay the year and you pay for ten months, not twelve. Billing starts immediately, there is no trial period.
