“Smooth Setup, Excellent Affiliate Management”
We use Tolt to automate our affiliate program management, solving issues with previous tools. It offers a great dashboard and chat access for affiliates, manual lead submission, and an email feature, reducing our program’s operation time by 90%.

Capterra“Super easy to set up + works great”
Tolt is great. I was able to get it set up and running in less than hour. It does exactly what you need it to do and you don’t need to actively manage. Huge time+cost saver when it comes to setting up an affiliate program.
Alternatives considered: Tapfiliate, Rewardful
Tolt had a better interface, and was quicker to set up

“Best program to get your affiliate program setup and run on it’s own”
Tolt is a part of my daily life as I manage Creately’s Affiliate Program.
Ease of use is the main factor when it comes to Tolt, coming from PartnerStack it was a breeze to transition to Tolt’s platform and setup the program. Their team was super flexible and provide fast response when requested for support.
