Does anyone have experience with Post Affiliate Pro?
My friend runs a small software company and wants to experiment with running an affiliate program for one of their products.
I suggested hasOffers etc, but they are a cash strapped start-up and don't want to commit too much $$ to it unless it shows promise. They have a decent server infrastructure, so the one-time $200 price tag is appealing.
its ok for running a self hosted small affiliate program, interface is a bit messy imo
It has gotten better over the years. Idevaffiliate is also a good product.
Thanks guys. They're not looking at have many products or affiliates, this is just a trial to see if it is a viable option for their business.
The interface for PAP does look a little bit as though it was designed by the programmers.
I'll take a look at iDevAffiliate and let them make the decision between the two.
If anyone else has an opinion, I'd like to hear it. Cheers 
they give a refund if you dont like it, i bought it before and they were very fast with giving cash back, no questions asked. I'd recommend them just for that experience
Hasoffer has the 30 day trial you can always use. From my view, if this is the first time they are jumping in into the aff game, they should go with a platform that is tested, is easy to use and offers solid active support.
There is really no way to "try" adding aff marketing to their business before they actually plan what they are going to do, where they will get affiliates, how will they make money, etc.
My advice would be to plan before spending any money. But once they are ready to go and are sure it will make money, go with hasoffers.
Then again I dont know what business they are in, but that's my 2 cents!
