Frequently asked questions.

The five objections we hear most from creators comparing link trackers.

How much does TapShift cost?

The Free plan is free forever — generate unlimited trackable short links with real-time tap analytics, no credit card required. Pro is $29/mo per user and adds conversion tracking, geo and device breakdowns, share modals, and 7-day tap history. Agency is $99/mo per team with unlimited team members, custom link domains, and 90-day retention. Upgrade only when you start seeing results.

Do I keep 100% of my revenue?

Yes. TapShift is the tracker, not a marketplace — we don't take a cut of your affiliate commissions. Earnings flow straight from the source program (Amazon, ShareASale, Impact, whatever you promote) into your own account. TapShift only charges the monthly tooling fee on Pro and Agency.

How do payouts work?

Affiliate commissions are recorded in TapShift's commissions table and paid out by the network you promote through, on whatever payout window that network uses (most are net-30 or net-60). TapShift never holds your earnings — once a conversion is logged, the money is yours and the connected network pays you directly. The Free tier has nothing to pay out.

What platforms are supported?

Any URL works — TapShift is platform-agnostic because it's a link tracker, not a network. Paste in any destination (TikTok bio, Instagram bio, Substack, podcast show notes, YouTube description, newsletter, X/Twitter, etc.) and you'll get a trackable short link in return. Server-side attribution means taps get logged even when Safari, Firefox, or iOS 17 block third-party cookies.

Is there a free tier?

Yes. The Free plan includes unlimited trackable short links, real-time tap analytics, UTM + referrer + device tracking, and cookieless server-side attribution — no credit card needed to sign up or stay on it. You only upgrade when you want conversion tracking, geo breakdowns, share modals, or any of the other Pro/Agency features. Most creators stay on Free until their links start converting.
