If you work with small and medium companies, you can probably name from memory the ones running on three spreadsheets and a group chat. The commission is 10 percent, for up to 12 months, on every subscription that comes from you.
The best recommendation comes from someone who can already see from the inside what is not working at a company. These trades tend to be sitting exactly there.
Bookkeepers and payroll
You are the one who sees every month that the same figure lives in three places and all three differ slightly. A recommendation from you carries weight, because you are not selling anything, you just want fewer missing documents next month.
System administrators and IT
You are who they call when a file cannot be found on a shared drive, and who they ask what a given subscription was for in the first place. A system with no rollout project and no server to maintain is fewer calls for you too.
Consultants and operations advisers
Your work is about improving how a company runs, and you know that the best process is lost if nothing carries it. Recommending this fits into the work rather than sitting on top of it.
Agencies and digitalisation partners
If you already assemble tools for your clients, this turns what used to be a one off recommendation into recurring income. There is no joining fee, and you do not have to commit to a number of clients in advance.
The terms in short
How much, for how long, from when
Commission is paid on the monthly fee of the subscription you brought in, for as long as it runs, up to 12 months. Payouts from a balance of 10 €. There is no joining fee.

What it is worth
One real customer, with real numbers
IntrApp pricing is public and simple, so you can calculate the commission in advance instead of estimating it.
An eight person company with 10 gigabytes of data pays 85 € a
month, made up of 20 € base, 8 € per
person, and storage. Your commission on that is 8.50 €
a month, so over 12 months it is 102 € from a
single recommendation.
If that company grows, the commission grows with it, because it is a share of the
monthly fee rather than a flat amount.
A three person company is the other end of the range, at 37 € a
month, so 3.70 € in commission, and
44.40 € over a year. Five or six customers of mixed
sizes is a recurring line rather than pocket money.
Since the commission runs only while the subscription does, what matters is
that they stay. Which is why it does not pay to recommend it to someone who will work
out in two months that this was not what they needed.
How it runs
Four steps, and no sales training in them
The whole process runs in the affiliate admin, so you are not the one keeping track of who did what and when.
You sign up
In the affiliate admin, a few minutes. No joining fee, and no step where you have to commit to a number up front. If you only want to try it, you can sign up for that too.
You get your own link
You pass it on to whoever you think it would suit. You do not have to produce a pitch, because the demo is open without signing up and the pricing is public. The person you sent it to can work through the whole thing on their own, from the demo to their own trial.
They sign up and subscribe
Commission is paid on the paid subscription, not on the click and not during the free trial. That is better for you as well, because you are not being pushed for volume, only for recommending it to people it actually suits.
The commission arrives monthly
For as long as the subscription runs, up to 12 months. The admin shows you which customer paid out what and when, so you are not relying on a summary you cannot check.
What we expect, and what we do not
There is one expectation, and it is better placed on this page than in clause seven of a contract.
One new paying partner per quarter
To keep affiliate status you need to bring in at least one new paying subscriber each quarter. It is not a revenue quota, it is what keeps the programme made of active partners. If that is too fast for your rhythm, better to know now.
You do not have to sell
No call targets, no monthly report to file, and no account of who you have spoken to. The recommendation either happens or it does not, and either way the admin shows it.
You have no access to their data
You can see that a subscription you brought in is live and what commission it earns. You cannot see what is inside it. That is not a restriction aimed at you. From their side it is the only acceptable arrangement, and it is also what keeps your recommendation worth something.
When the money reaches you
Commission accumulates in the admin, and a payout can be requested from a balance of 10 €. The exact payout rules and the details needed for them are in the affiliate terms and conditions, because those are contractual terms rather than marketing copy. What is worth knowing here is that you are not the one keeping the accounts, because the admin shows what has accumulated per customer. The threshold is deliberately low, so a single smaller customer does not mean waiting half a year for a first payout.
The recommendation
What to say, and when to say nothing
There is no pitch to learn. Three lines that tend to work, and one situation where it is better to keep quiet.
If they are suffering with an old system
Do not start with features. Start with the fact that they can look at it without talking to anyone. The demo is open without signing up, the prices are printed, and the trial starts free. To someone who has been burned before, that sentence is worth more than a feature list.
If they run the company on spreadsheets
The best question here is how much time goes on finding where a piece of information is, and how often the same thing gets entered twice. An owner recognises that from their own week, and it makes the conversation about their problem rather than about a piece of software.
When not to recommend it
If they are looking for the deepest tool on the market in one area, this is not it. If they expect an industry specific module ready made, that is not in there either, though it can be built as custom development. In that case it is better not to recommend it, because a bad recommendation costs your credibility rather than ours, and the commission only runs while the subscription does.
The binding version
The numbers above are here so you can decide in advance. The exact calculation of commission, the payout rules, the eligibility conditions and what happens if the programme ends are all in the affiliate terms and conditions, linked in the footer of every page with a version number and a date. If the two ever differ, that document governs. Worth reading before you sign up rather than after.
See what you would be recommending
A recommendation is worth as much as your knowledge of the thing you are recommending. The demo runs on an invented company with its data filled in, and needs no signup. Some functions are switched off in it, and it resets overnight.
