Impact.com pricing in 2026 at a glance
We checked these numbers on impact.com's pricing page on 2026-11-04. Here is what the page lists:
| Tier | List price | Who impact.com says it's for | Partner payouts included | Creator/influencer management listed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $30 a month or 2.5% of revenue12 | Brands starting a partnerships channel or spending $300k a year on marketing1 | Not published | Not listed among Starter features1 |
| Essentials | $500 a month1 | Up to $2m a year in ecommerce revenue1 | Up to $2,500 a month1 | Yes1 |
| Pro | $2,500 a month1 | $2m to $15m a year1 | Up to $14,300 a month1 | Yes, includes everything in Essentials1 |

What the Starter plan really costs
Starter costs the greater of $30 or 2.5% of your monthly revenue. The pricing page shows "$30/mo" next to "2.5% of Revenue"1, and the Shopify App Store listing spells it out: whichever is larger, $30 or 2.5% of that month's revenue2. The two are not added together. It's a minimum fee or a percentage, whichever is higher that month.
Starter is self-serve and only works with the store platforms impact.com lists, such as Shopify and WooCommerce. TikTok Shop is not on that list. Starter can't take add-ons1.
Its feature list covers basic tracking and reporting, an Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy integration, partner recommendations and chat support. Creator and influencer management appears in the Essentials list, not the Starter list1.
Using the greater-of rule2, at $800 of monthly revenue 2.5% is $20, so you pay the $30 minimum. At $4,000, 2.5% is $100, and at $10,000 it is $250.
The percentage starts costing more than $30 above $1,200 of monthly revenue ($30 ÷ 0.025 = $1,200).
Starter's fee also reaches $500, the Essentials list price, at $20,000 of monthly revenue ($500 ÷ 0.025 = $20,000). At $30,000 it would be $750. That compares list prices only, since the tiers include different features1.
One point stays unclear. Impact.com's pages don't define which "revenue" the 2.5% applies to: all store revenue, or only revenue tracked from partners. A third-party article says "affiliate revenue" and gives 3% instead3. Get the definition in writing before you sign.
Essentials and Pro: the 12-month cost
Essentials is $500 a month and includes up to $2,500 of partner payouts monthly. Pro is $2,500 a month, with up to $14,300 included. On top of the Essentials features, Pro adds API-based tracking, custom commission rates, Data Lab analytics, SAML and dedicated customer success1.
There's a conflict on impact.com's own page. The Essentials headline says it "includes up to" $2,500 a month in partner payouts, while its feature list describes $2,500 a month in processed partner payouts as a minimum1. The page has a FAQ entry on paying partners more than your tier includes, but we couldn't read the answer. Ask whether $2,500 works as a cap or a floor, or as both.
The 12-month contract1 turns the monthly price into a yearly commitment. Over the first year, Essentials at $500 × 12 comes to $6,000. Pro, at $2,500 × 12, is $30,000. Both figures leave out add-ons and onboarding costs, as well as the partner payouts themselves.
On add-ons: Essentials and Pro can add Creator Premium, Advocate Premium, Optimize, AI Search Visibility and Brand Safety1. Impact.com doesn't publish prices for these, so treat them as quote only.
If you buy through Shopify, charges are billed in USD every 30 days, and some charges may come from impact.com outside your Shopify invoice. On Shopify the $2,500 tier is named Professional2.
Why other impact.com pricing articles show different numbers
Third-party articles and impact.com's current page disagree on several points. One row is different: it sets two of impact.com's own pages, its Shopify listing and its site menu, side by side.
| Claim | What the source says | What impact.com's page says (checked Nov 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing isn't published | Impact.com doesn't publish pricing4 | Starter $301, Essentials $5001, Pro $2,5001 are published |
| Pro costs about $500 | Pro at about $500 a month, Enterprise typically $50K+ a year5 | Essentials is $5001 and Pro is $2,5001; Enterprise is custom1 |
| Enterprise starts at $2,500 | Enterprise starts at $2,500 a month4 | Pro is $2,5001; Enterprise is custom1 |
| Starter is 3% | $30 or 3% of monthly affiliate revenue, whichever is higher3 | The greater of $30 or 2.5% of monthly revenue2 |
| A 2.5% "network tax" | A 2.5% fee on every commission3 | The pricing page doesn't mention it |
| Partner count | 300K+ partners on the Shopify listing2 | 250K+ partners on impact.com's own site menu1 |
Take the "network tax" line only as that one article's claim and ask impact.com directly. Pricing pages change, and the articles may describe an earlier price list. Use the vendor's current page and get a written quote before you commit.
Does impact.com fit a TikTok Shop creator program?
Impact.com runs affiliate programs alongside creator and referral programs in one system, and creator and referral management features are included from Essentials up. Impact.com says it works with 6,500+ brands1, and its Shopify app is rated 4.4 from 203 reviews2.
TikTok support was still incomplete as of impact.com's June 2026 announcement. Its creator-discovery integrations had Instagram and YouTube live, with TikTok and Facebook still planned. In-platform paid amplification of creator content launched with Instagram only6.
Starter's supported store list doesn't include TikTok Shop1. We found no TikTok Shop integration on the impact.com pages we checked, which doesn't mean one can't exist later.
If what you actually need is booking TikTok Shop creators for flat-fee videos, that's a different job from affiliate tracking, and a different tool does it. Rateful is an AI manager for TikTok Shop creators. Brands book a creator from their public page at rateful.ai/@handle or email the creator's handle@rateful.ai address, and Sam, the AI manager, answers and sends a written agreement.
On a creator's own deals, the creator's deposit is released before filming, and Rateful holds only the rest of the payment until the posts are live. The written agreement spells out the exact payment plan. Brands pay booking protection of about 5% on top of the deal amount, shown before paying. So a $400 deal costs about $420: $400 plus about $20 of booking protection.
It doesn't replace an affiliate tracking platform; it handles the booking and payment side of one-off creator deals. There's a fuller breakdown in Impact.com alternatives for TikTok Shop brands, compared with Rateful, and you can browse TikTok Shop creators brands can book.
Questions to ask impact.com before you sign
Impact.com's own pricing FAQ lists the topics below1, so ask each one on the call and get the answers in writing:
- What happens if I pay partners more than my tier includes?
- Is there a setup or onboarding fee, and what does onboarding include?
- Can I upgrade or downgrade mid-contract?
- What payment options and volume discounts are available?
- What do the add-ons cost1?
- Is there any per-commission fee beyond the subscription? One third-party article claims a 2.5% "network tax" on every commission, so ask impact.com to confirm or deny it3.
Then add these, which the FAQ doesn't settle:
- Which revenue does Starter's 2.5% apply to: all store revenue or partner-tracked revenue2?
- Is $2,500 a payout cap or a minimum on Essentials1?
For other price checks, see Influencer marketing platforms for small brands compared and GRIN pricing, management fees and real cost. To budget the creator fees themselves, check what TikTok Shop creators on Rateful charge for one video.
