Affiliate program

Recommend Cowpin, earn half of the first year

For people who write, film or send newsletters about bookmarking, read-later apps, research tools or Pinboard and Pocket alternatives. If your readers would like a fast, private, Pinboard-style bookmark manager, we'll share what they pay.

  • 50% of everything a customer you send pays in their first year (excluding tax) — $11 per Cowpin plan, $25.50 per Cowpin + AI plan.
  • 60-day tracking: add ?via=yourcode to any cowpin.com link, including the Pinboard and Pocket migration guides.
  • Paid monthly by PayPal once you're owed $25. Each payment is held 30 days for refunds.
  • A live dashboard with your signups, paying customers and earnings.

How it works

  1. Apply from your Cowpin account. You pick your code and give us your PayPal email.
  2. Once we approve you, share cowpin.com/?via=yourcode (or any page with ?via=yourcode).
  3. Someone clicks it, starts the 14-day free trial and subscribes within 60 days of the click: they're yours.
  4. You earn 50% of their payments for 12 months from their first one.

The rules

  • No paid search ads on "Cowpin" or misspellings of it, and no coupon or deal sites.
  • No spam, no fake reviews, and don't present yourself as Cowpin.
  • Disclose that you earn a commission (the FTC requires it in the US).
  • You can't earn on your own account. Refunded payments earn nothing.
  • We approve every affiliate and may end the program or an account with notice; earned, unrefunded commissions are still paid.
