The Metricool Affiliate Program
The Metricool Affiliate Program is open to anyone with a Metricool account. There’s no application to submit, no specific country requirement, and no paid plan required. If you have a free Metricool account, you can join and start earning right away.
The program has two tiers: Metricool Associate and Metricool Partner. All affiliates start as Metricool Associates, with the opportunity to move up to Partner as they grow their referrals.
How to Join
All you need to do to join the Metricool Affiliate Program is create a free Metricool account. Once you’re inside your account, you’ll automatically be enrolled as a Metricool Associate, so you can start promoting right away!
Find Your Affiliate Dashboard
Once you’re logged into your Metricool account, click the three line menu in the top right corner and select Affiliate Program.
This will take you to your affiliate dashboard, where you can:

What Could Your Commissions Look Like?
For this example, we’ll use Metricool’s Advanced plan for up to 15 brands, one of the plans our affiliates most commonly refer new users to.
Annual subscriptions are billed upfront. All commissions are capped per referred customer, regardless of whether they choose monthly or annual billing.
How does this work in practice?
Tier 1: If someone subscribes to the Advanced 15 plan with monthly billing, you earn $16.75 for each eligible monthly payment, until you’ve earned $100 from that customer. With annual billing, 25% of $636 is $159, so the $100 cap applies.
Tier 2: With monthly billing, you earn $33.50 for each eligible monthly payment, until you’ve earned $300 from that customer. With annual billing, 50% of $636 is $318, so the $300 cap applies.
Getting Paid
Affiliate payouts are issued automatically once a month through our payment partner, Zexel. Once you reach the $200 payout threshold, your payment will be issued within the first week of the month.
To receive your payments, create and verify your Zexel account using the same email address you use for your Metricool account. Once your Zexel account is set up and you’ve reached the $200 threshold, there’s nothing else you need to do.
How Do I Make My First $100?
Now that you know how the Metricool Affiliate Program works and where to find everything you need, it’s time to put it into action.
The first step is getting familiar with Metricool. Take some time to explore the platform, understand what it does, and identify the features that would be most useful to your audience. The more familiar you are with the product, the easier it will be to create genuine recommendations.
From there:
You don’t need a huge audience or one viral post to make your first $100. Start with the audience you already have, create content that genuinely helps them, and make it easy for interested people to check out Metricool.
