How do I pay teachers and tutors who recommend my app?

Through Stripe Connect. Insert Affiliate works out what each teacher or creator has earned and can pay them automatically, with a self-billing invoice generated for every payout. Nobody has to send you an invoice or chase a transfer.

Can creators earn commission on subscription renewals?

Yes, and you decide per affiliate. Pay commission on the first purchase and all renewals, or on the first purchase only. Renewal commission suits education well, because it rewards creators whose learners keep studying.

Does this work with annual and monthly plans?

Yes. Monthly and annual subscriptions are both tracked, along with one-off purchases such as a course or a lifetime unlock, on iOS and Android.

Can a tutoring company earn from the tutors it brings in?

Yes, with daisy-chain commissions on Growth and Enterprise plans. A parent affiliate earns a separate commission on sales generated by the affiliates they recruited, and it does not reduce what those affiliates earn.

Can learners refer their friends and classmates?

Yes. In-app referrals let you add a refer-a-friend screen to your app, so learners can invite classmates and earn a reward you choose, such as free premium time. It runs alongside your creator programme.

Can creators see what they have earned?

Yes. Every affiliate gets their own dashboard showing clicks, subscriptions and commission in real time, so a teacher can check their earnings without emailing you.

Do I need a developer to set this up?

You need a small SDK integration in your app. SDKs are available for Swift, Kotlin, Java, React Native, Flutter, Unity and JavaScript, and our team supports you through setup.

"Insert Affiliate is the only affiliate platform that truly integrates with mobile apps." - Cami Wolff, BlissTrax

Affiliate Marketing for Education Apps

Teachers, tutors and study creators already tell learners which apps to use. Insert Affiliate tracks every in-app subscription they drive on iOS and Android, and pays them commission for as long as the learner stays.

PROBLEM 1

Recommendations happen, and nobody gets credit

A tutor tells thirty students to download your app. Some subscribe. The purchase happens inside the App Store or Google Play, where a web affiliate platform cannot follow, so you never learn which tutor sent them.

PROBLEM 2

Learning is seasonal, and so is your revenue

Sign-ups rise at the start of term and before exams, then fall away. Paying creators on renewals rather than a single fee gives them a reason to keep recommending your app all year, and to send learners who stick with it.

PROBLEM 3

Teachers will not chase you for payment

Educators are not professional marketers. If earning from your programme means invoices, spreadsheets and waiting on bank transfers, most will quietly stop. Payouts need to arrive without anyone having to ask.

App teams already growing with us

Subscription apps in wellbeing and travel run their affiliate programmes on Insert Affiliate, and both point to the hands-on setup support they received.

WELLNESS

“Insert Affiliate is the only affiliate platform that truly integrates with mobile apps. Their team went above and beyond - even jumping on calls with our developers to ensure the integration was smooth. As a startup, it's rare (and refreshing) to find a partner this engaged.”

The creators who grow education apps

Each of these creator types can become an affiliate for your app, with their own link, their own real-time dashboard and automatic payouts.

Teachers and tutors

Tutors recommend study tools to every student they teach. An affiliate link turns those recommendations into commission, and automatic payouts remove the admin that would otherwise put a busy teacher off.

Language creators

Language learners follow the same creators for months or years. Commission on renewals, not just the first purchase, means a creator keeps earning for as long as the learners they referred keep practising.

Study and exam creators

Study-with-me videos and revision accounts reach students at the exact moment they are looking for help. A deep link in the bio takes them to the store, and every subscription is tracked back to the post that drove it.

Educational YouTubers

Explainer and tutorial videos keep getting views for years. A link in the description earns the creator commission on every learner the video sends, long after it was published.

Parent and homeschool communities

Parents trust other parents. Bloggers, newsletter writers and group organisers in parenting and homeschool communities bring whole families, and their recommendations carry weight that advertising does not.

Schools and tutoring networks

A tutoring company or training provider can recruit its own tutors as affiliates. Daisy-chain commissions pay the organisation a share of the sales its tutors generate, without reducing what the tutors earn. Available on Growth and Enterprise plans.

How it works

From SDK install to automated payouts in four steps.

STEP 1

Install the SDK

Add our SDK to your app. Swift, Kotlin, Java, React Native, Flutter, Unity and JavaScript are all supported, and setup typically takes a few hours.

STEP 2

Create affiliate links

Give each creator their own deep link with Insert Links, or connect Branch.io, AppsFlyer or RevenueCat Web Purchase Links if you already use them.

STEP 3

Track in-app purchases

Every affiliate-driven subscription on iOS, Android and the web is attributed to the creator who drove it, verified against real purchase receipts.

STEP 4

Pay automatically

Payouts run through Stripe Connect with VAT-compliant self-billing invoices generated for you. No spreadsheets and no manual transfers.
