ROI Calculator

Is Pro worth it? Let's do math:

Cost Breakdown

Monthly Pro: $5.99/month Annual Pro: $4.92/month (save $1.07/mo)

Example Scenario

Creator with 3 brand partnerships:

Each partnership pays 10% commission
Average order value: $50
You need just 2 sales/month to break even

2 sales × $50 × 10% = $10 commission
$10 - $5.99 Pro fee = $4.01 profit

Plus you get:

Verified badge (more trust = more sales)
Better search ranking (more visibility)
Analytics (optimize performance)
Unlimited code slots (more opportunities)

Most creators break even in week 1!

Verification Badge Impact

Studies show verified badges increase conversions by 25-40%.

If Free tier gets you:

10 clicks → 1 sale = 10% conversion

Pro verified badge might give you:

10 clicks → 1.3 sales = 13% conversion

That's 30% more income for $6/month!
