Systeme.io

Systeme.io is an all-in-one marketing platform covering sales funnels, email marketing, online courses, membership sites, and affiliate program management. It was founded in 2010 by Aurélien Amacker, a French blogger who built the tool for his own course business, and the company is run from France. It is usually positioned as the budget alternative to ClickFunnels and Kajabi.

The free plan is unusually generous, covering up to 2,000 contacts and unlimited emails. Paid plans start at around $27 per month and scale by contact count rather than by feature, so even the entry tier includes funnels, automation, and course hosting.

The affiliate program pays 60% lifetime recurring commission on every subscription you refer, which is among the highest rates in the funnel-builder category. There is no application process and you do not need to be a customer to promote it. A second tier pays 5% on the earnings of affiliates you recruit.

Attribution is lifetime rather than a fixed cookie window: a referral stays tagged to your account until they subscribe, though systeme.io uses last-click, so a later affiliate link can take the credit. Payouts run monthly via PayPal or wire transfer once you clear the minimum.
