Does Insert Affiliate work with Unity games?

Yes. There is a Unity SDK, alongside SDKs for Swift, Kotlin, Java, React Native, Flutter and JavaScript. It was first built for a customer who needed it, and a working version was ready for their app within 48 hours.

Can I pay creators on purchases instead of installs?

Yes. Commission is calculated on the in-app purchases and subscriptions each creator drives, so you pay for players who spend. If you prefer, you can also pay a fixed amount per sale rather than a percentage.

Do you track one-off in-app purchases as well as subscriptions?

Yes. One-off purchases such as currency packs and passes are tracked alongside subscriptions, on both iOS and Android, and each one is attributed to the creator who referred the player.

How do streamers and creators get paid?

Through Stripe Connect. Insert Affiliate works out what each creator has earned and can pay them automatically, with a self-billing invoice generated for every payout. You do not need a spreadsheet or manual transfers.

Can creators see their own results?

Yes. Every affiliate gets their own dashboard showing clicks, purchases and commission in real time. Creators can check what they are owed whenever they like, which makes them far easier to recruit.

Can players refer their friends too?

Yes. In-app referrals let you add a refer-a-friend screen to your game, so players can invite friends and earn a reward you choose. It runs alongside your creator programme.

We publish more than one game. Can we track them all?

Yes. The Growth plan covers up to 3 apps and Enterprise covers unlimited apps, each with its own affiliates and tracking.

Affiliate Marketing for Mobile Games

Streamers and gaming creators can send you players who actually spend. Insert Affiliate tracks every in-app purchase and subscription they drive on iOS and Android, with a Unity SDK, and pays them commission on real revenue.

PROBLEM 1

Paying per install rewards the wrong players

Most creator deals in gaming pay for downloads. Plenty of those players open the game once and never spend. Without purchase tracking you cannot tell a creator who sends paying players from one who sends nobody of value.

PROBLEM 2

Purchases happen where web tracking cannot see

Players buy coins, passes and subscriptions inside the App Store and Google Play. A web affiliate platform loses the player at the store page, so the sale never reaches the creator who earned it.

PROBLEM 3

Flat sponsorship fees are a gamble

A sponsored stream costs the same whether it brings ten spenders or none. Commission on revenue lets you work with far more creators, including smaller ones, because you only pay when their audience buys.

App teams already growing with us

When Incremental Developer needed Unity support, we built a working SDK for their app within 48 hours. These teams run their affiliate programmes on Insert Affiliate.

DEVELOPMENT

“Insert Affiliate has been outstanding to work with. When I approached them, they didn't yet have a Unity SDK, but within 48 hours, they built a fully functional prototype specifically for my app from the ground up. Their founder, Michael Butler, has been incredibly thorough throughout the entire process. He took the time to understand our requirements and clearly communicated the process from start to finish. The level of attention and technical capability has been nothing short of impressive. If you're looking for a partner who moves fast, listens carefully, and delivers exactly what you need, I can't recommend Insert Affiliate highly enough.”

The creators who grow mobile games

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

Streamers

A streamer plays your game live for hours in front of the same audience. An affiliate link in the stream description and chat turns that attention into tracked purchases, and the streamer can see their earnings as they come in.

Gaming YouTubers

Gameplay videos, tier lists and beginner guides keep getting views long after they are published. A link in the description earns the creator commission on every player the video sends, month after month.

Short-form gaming creators

Clips on TikTok, Reels and Shorts reach players who have never heard of your game. A deep link in the bio takes them straight to the store, and every purchase that follows is tracked back to the creator.

Guide and strategy writers

Players who search for builds, walkthroughs and strategies are your most committed. Guide writers and wiki maintainers reach them at exactly the moment they are deciding whether to invest in the game.

Community and clan leaders

Discord server owners and guild leaders bring groups of players, not individuals. Daisy-chain commissions let a leader earn from the affiliates they recruit, without reducing what those affiliates earn. Available on Growth and Enterprise plans.

Competitive players

Top-ranked and tournament players have small audiences that copy what they play. A handful of trusted names can outperform a much larger sponsored campaign, and affiliate tracking shows you which ones.

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.

Building in Unity? Our Unity SDK sits alongside Swift, Kotlin, Java, React Native, Flutter and JavaScript, so your game is covered whichever engine you ship on.
