Software & SaaS Comparison Affiliate Site

Startup Cost$50
Difficulty★★★★☆
Potential Revenue$5k–30k/mo
Time to First $6–12 months
Businesses spending $50–500/month on software need comparison guides before buying. SaaS affiliate commissions are recurring (20–30% of monthly fee, often for 12 months). One customer choosing a $200/mo tool = $480–720 in affiliate revenue.
Build a SaaS comparison affiliate site. Focus on one category: project management tools, email marketing platforms, CRM software, accounting software. Create: in-depth comparisons, 'X vs Y' pages, 'best for [use case]' roundups, pricing comparison tables. Keep updated as tools change.
  • Software changes CONSTANTLY — outdated comparison pages lose trust and rankings; update quarterly minimum
  • Include real SCREENSHOTS of the software interface — readers want to see what they're buying
  • Video comparisons embedded in articles increase time-on-page (SEO signal) and conversion
