SaaS vs Affiliate
If you're wondering whether you should sign up as a SaaS or an affiliate, you are most likely an affiliate. Below is the difference between a SaaS business and an affiliate.
Choosing between a SaaS and an affiliate account
When you sign up for Reditus, you can register as either a SaaS business or an affiliate. Here's how they differ, and why we offer two distinct logins:
- B2B SaaS business: this applies if you have your own software and want to grow it by having others refer it (partners and affiliates). Sign up here.
- Partner or affiliate: this is for individuals who want to refer software to others and earn passive income from sign-ups. Sign up here.
During the sign-up process, you'll see the following screen. Choose the type of account that aligns with your goals.
B2B affiliate program (for SaaS companies)

A partner program adds a revenue channel next to your existing ones. We recommend combining inbound and partner channels with outbound efforts, especially when your Average Revenue Per Account (ARPA) is substantial.
Affiliates and partners
Affiliates are individuals seeking rewards by referring software to others. Those rewards may come as discounts, commissions, or other incentives, and through Reditus they are predominantly structured as kickback fees.
