Proofline vs Insert Affiliate
Insert Affiliate is the most complete affiliate tool for apps today. The main differences: it charges a share of affiliate-driven revenue and attributes mainly through its own deep links, while Proofline charges a flat monthly price and makes store-verified offer codes the backbone, with a receipt for every commission.
Side by side
The facts, from public pages.
| Topic | Insert Affiliate | Proofline |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | £0–£200/mo; paid plans add 7.5–10% of affiliate transaction revenue (Growth: £70 + 8%) | Flat bands: $0, $79, $249 a month by verified creator revenue; no revenue share |
| Primary attribution | Its own deep links ("Insert Links"), AppsFlyer, Branch | Apple offer codes and Play Install Referrer first, then links and in-app codes |
| Codes | Short codes positioned "for testing" | One store offer code per creator; the store confirms each redemption |
| Per-commission proof | Not shown on its public pages | A receipt for every commission: signals, rule, calculation, store references |
| Purchase data | RevenueCat, Adapty, Apphud, Iaptic, stores directly | RevenueCat, Adapty, Apphud, Superwall, App Store and Google Play notifications, Stripe web checkout (all beta) |
| Marketplace | 150+ affiliates; creator search across 340M+ profiles on Enterprise | Planned (creator network) |
| VAT self-billing | Yes | Planned |
Choosing
When to choose Insert Affiliate instead.
What Insert Affiliate does well
- Dashboards for owners and affiliates, with Stripe payouts.
- A marketplace of 150+ affiliates, and creator search across 340M+ profiles on Enterprise.
- Self-billing VAT invoices.
- Install-event payments, attribution and renewal windows, and "prevent affiliate transfer".
- Purchase verification through RevenueCat, Adapty, Apphud, Iaptic or the stores directly.
Choose Insert Affiliate if
- You want to recruit affiliates from a built-in marketplace today. Proofline’s creator network is planned, not live.
- You need self-billing VAT invoices now. Ours are planned for a later phase.
- You already run AppsFlyer or Branch links and want affiliates on top of them.
Choose Proofline if
- You want to see exactly why each commission was paid, signal by signal.
- Most of your creator traffic opens inside TikTok and Instagram, where deep links are least reliable.
- You’d rather pay a flat price than a percentage that grows with your program.
