Partner Program
Learn how Setapp developers and affiliates earn more with our Partner Program.
Setapp, as a subscription-based service, promises a steady revenue stream, where the size of your earnings depends on the monthly usage statistics of your apps and is therefore variable. At the same time, Setapp’s Partner Program offers an additional, more stable way to earn that disregards usage.
The Partner Program guarantees a fixed 20% share in monthly income from every user you have engaged in Setapp. In other words, while you stay with us and the users you’ve brought to Setapp keep paying a subscription fee, you get 20% of it, despite the statistics of your own apps.
Setapp online developer account includes the Partner Program page, which offers a set of reliable tools for engaging your “20%-users.”

Setapp banners and badges
You can inform your existing and future users that your app is on Setapp by placing our promo banner or badge on a product page, blog post, or landing page. Clicking the banner or badge redirects users to your app’s page on Setapp’s website, where existing subscribers can open the app in Setapp with a single click, and new users can easily sign up. In the latter case, you get both a user of your app and a 20% share of the monthly income from this user.
The banner and badge code are already available in your developer account. For more information, see Add Setapp banner and Add Setapp badge.
Invitations
If you prefer to use social media or users' emails to stay in touch with users, copy your unique partner link from the Partner Program page and share it the way you prefer. For example, you can:
- Email it to your users;
- Put it into a blog post;
- Share it on social media.
Users who subscribe to Setapp via the link get assigned to your Setapp account. For more information, see Inviting users.
Effects of partner campaigns
You can use these tools to engage more users and increase revenue. Your invitation campaigns and promos progress is shown on your developer account's Statistics page.
NoteNew users aren't charged a subscription fee during a 7-day trial period. It means that you will start getting your 20% shares only after their trial period is over.
With the Partner Program, you can increase your income within Setapp by 90%. Plus, it is an excellent opportunity to grow the LTV of your existing users — think: when a user who previously purchased your app switches to its Setapp version, you re-monetize the app.
If you have any concerns regarding those users who have already purchased your app, no worries; Setapp still has something to offer. Full access to a growing number of useful, high-quality apps for an unchanging monthly fee is a winning value-for-money proposition. Also, we believe that a 7-day free trial of our service speaks for itself.
