What each term means
Revenue share pays a partner a percentage of the revenue they generate. It is often layered on top of a platform subscription: you pay a monthly fee for the tool, plus you share revenue with affiliates. Commission-only removes the fixed fee entirely. The only cost is a commission on conversions that are actually attributed, so the platform earns when you earn.
Why the difference matters
A fixed monthly fee is a cost whether or not the channel produces sales. For a new or seasonal program, that fee is pure risk. A commission-only model aligns the platform's incentive with yours: it only makes money when it drives real, attributed conversions.
Attribloom is commission-only, with no base fee, seat pricing, or minimum. Its 0.5% introductory platform fee is based on affiliate commission and is paid by the merchant on top, so affiliates keep 100%. The rate continues until Attribloom announces a change, with notice.
