UpPromote pricing: the free plan, Growth to Enterprise, and the performance fee (2026)

Read on 2026-10-31 from uppromote.com/pricing (plan cards, comparison table and pricing FAQ), UpPromote's help docs (Pricing details, Referral review limits, Pricing FAQs, Fee details) and its Shopify App Store listing. Prices are in US dollars and billed through Shopify.

UpPromote plans and prices

UpPromote's own docs describe the model as a fixed subscription plus a performance fee that "is calculated by multiplying the total sales amount of approved referral by the rate applied." Only referrals you approve count. The rate is the one for the plan you were on when the referral was first recorded, not when you approve it, so upgrading doesn't lower the fee on orders that are already sitting in your queue.

What UpPromote really costs at different sales levels

Because the fee scales with sales, the cheapest plan depends on how much your affiliates sell. These figures are our arithmetic from the published monthly prices, before any optional add-ons.

Two billing details from the docs are worth knowing. Performance fees run through your Shopify app spending limit, and UpPromote says it stops charging additional performance fees once that limit is reached until it resets. And if you approve a referral and then undo it, the performance fee is not refunded. If the order itself is fully refunded or cancelled on Shopify, the fee is reversed under UpPromote's refund conditions.

Is UpPromote free? The free plan and its limit

Yes. Every store starts on the Free plan when it installs the app, and UpPromote says you can stay on it as long as you like. It charges no subscription and no performance fee. The catch is the referral review limit, which decides how many affiliate orders you can approve or deny. The limit depends on when you first installed the app:

In practice, a new store whose average order is $60 hits the $3,000 cap at about 50 affiliate orders in a cycle. That makes the Free plan a fair way to set up a program and recruit your first affiliates, not a long-term home for a program that's selling.

UpPromote's sources disagree on paid-plan limits. The comparison table on uppromote.com/pricing (read 2026-10-31) lists "Review referral orders/month" as $3,000 for Free, 300 for Growth, 600 for Professional and Unlimited for Enterprise. The help center says 300 and 600 apply only to stores that installed before June 3, 2025, and that newer stores get unlimited review on every paid plan. If you're a newer store weighing Growth against Professional, the docs are the more detailed source, but confirm in the app before you choose a plan for its review limit.

Free trial, refunds and add-ons

On the Shopify App Store, UpPromote shows a 4.9 rating from 3,920 reviews and a Built for Shopify badge (read 2026-10-31).

UpPromote vs other affiliate software on price

Entry prices as stored in our database from each vendor's pricing page. These tools charge in different ways: UpPromote and impact.com add a percentage of sales, while Rewardful, FirstPromoter and Tolt use flat tiers capped by affiliate revenue. Rewardful, FirstPromoter and Tolt are built mainly for Stripe-billed SaaS, while UpPromote and Refersion target ecommerce stores.

At $5,000 a month in affiliate sales, UpPromote Growth works out to about $130, versus a flat $49 on Rewardful Starter (which covers up to $7,500 a month in affiliate revenue). For a Shopify store, though, UpPromote's free start and native Shopify tracking often matter more than the fee.
