Benchmark Email is email marketing software for small businesses. It has a drag-and-drop email editor with ready-made templates and a built-in AI Assistant, signup forms, contact management with segmentation, reporting and list verification, plus integrations through Zapier. Every plan includes the full feature set, with a free plan for up to 500 contacts. The affiliate program runs on Trackdesk and pays 30% recurring commission on monthly plans for up to 30 months, or a one-time 30% on annual plans, with a 30-day first-touch cookie. Commissions are paid monthly via PayPal once they reach $30, and affiliates get banners, landing pages and text ads to promote with.

Commission details: 30% of every monthly payment from a referred customer on a monthly plan, for up to 30 months while they stay a paying customer; commissions stop if they cancel. Annual plans pay a one-time 30% of the payment, after the customer stays active for 60 days. Self-referrals and referrals from prohibited traffic earn nothing.
