Why teams switch

LeadDyno is well rated on Shopify, and its hands-on support gets the most praise. These are the gaps its own pages and its reviews point to, and what Tolt does instead.

  • Price

    Priced by headcount.

    Its plans cap your active affiliates: 50 on Lite at $49 a month, 150 on Essential at $129, 500 on Advanced at $349, and no cap at $749. On Shopify, reviewers this year call it too expensive and wish the next tier weren’t so high. Its older plans, still billed to some customers, charge for every visitor past a limit.

    With Tolt

    Tolt has unlimited affiliates on every plan and never bills for clicks or visitors. Plans are priced by the revenue your partners bring in, and take 0% of it.

    Compare the two bills

  • Payments

    It never pays an affiliate.

    LeadDyno doesn’t hold or send money. You apply to PayPal for Payouts on your own business account, which takes a few days, connect it with a developer app, then send every run yourself, or upload its CSV to PayPal. Its help center is plain about it: a commission falling due pays nobody. There’s no Wise or bank transfer.

    Sources

    With Tolt

    You approve one invoice on your terms (NET-15, 30 or 60), and Tolt pays every partner by PayPal, Wise, bank transfer or wire. Auto payouts come with every plan.

    How auto payouts work

  • Tax

    Forms in, but no 1099s out.

    Since December 2025, affiliates can upload a W-9 or W-8BEN as a PDF. Its tax report is a yearly CSV of what each affiliate was paid, and its help center says it offers no tax advice: filing 1099s is up to you.

    Sources
    LeadDyno tax formsLeadDyno tax reports

    With Tolt

    Tolt collects a W-9 or W-8 from every partner before they’re paid, and files 1099s for eligible US partners each January.

    Tax forms and 1099s

  • Tracking

    Its cookies are third-party.

    Its tracking cookies are set on LeadDyno’s domain, so browsers treat them as third-party: its help center says they must be allowed for tracking to work, and that tracking across domains is not 100%.

    Sources
    LeadDyno tracking docsLeadDyno FAQ

    With Tolt

    Tolt’s cookie is first-party, set on your own domain, and follows a visitor across your subdomains. Promo codes credit sales at checkout with no cookie at all.

    See how setup works

  • Billing

    Stores first, and no Paddle.

    Its integrations lead with online stores (Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce) and list no Paddle. Its Chargebee integration works with Chargebee’s In-App Checkout only.

    Sources
    LeadDyno integrationsLeadDyno Chargebee docs

    With Tolt

    Tolt is built for SaaS billing: it connects Stripe, Paddle (Billing and Classic) and Chargebee, each in about 15 minutes. For anything else, send sign-ups and payments with webhooks or the API.

    Integrations

  • Fraud

    Nothing flags duplicate accounts.

    Its help center documents a bot filter, manual approval of new affiliates, reCAPTCHA on sign-up and a setting that stops affiliates earning on their own link. Nothing in it flags duplicate IPs, devices or one person behind several accounts.

  • LeadDyno’s comparison

    It gets Tolt wrong.

    LeadDyno’s own Tolt page says Tolt has no demo, is self-serve only with documentation-led onboarding, and has limited integrations, mostly billing and payout tools like Stripe, Paddle, PayPal and Wise.

Why Tolt

01 Unlimited affiliates

LeadDyno used to charge for every visitor to your site. Now it caps your active affiliates instead: 50 on Lite, 150 on Essential, 500 on Advanced, and $749 a month to lift the cap. Tolt has unlimited affiliates on every plan: you pay by the revenue your partners bring in. We earn when you earn.

Our pricing

Invite every creator, customer and agency who asks. Partners who never share a link never move your bill.

02 Your own domain

LeadDyno charges $129 a month for a custom domain (affiliates.yourdomain.com) and a sign-up form you can customize. With Tolt, every plan has a fully branded portal on your own domain, from $99. We charge based on the revenue your affiliates bring in: we earn when you earn.

See the affiliate portal

Taking “powered by LeadDyno” off its dashboard takes Advanced, at $349 a month. On Tolt, Pro removes the “Powered by Tolt” link.

03 Auto payouts

We know how busy growing a startup can get, so why take on another time-consuming job like paying affiliates? Turn on auto payouts, and spend that time finding new customers, or even new affiliates.

Learn about our payouts

went from one to three working days of payouts a month to zero hours.

LeadDyno never pays a partner for you: you get your own PayPal business account approved for Payouts, connect it, and send every run yourself, or upload its CSV to PayPal. On every Tolt plan, you approve one invoice on your terms and your partners are paid by PayPal, Wise, bank transfer or wire, with their tax forms on file.

04 Fraud protection

Stop paying for fake conversions and self-referrals. Tolt protects your margins automatically, before payouts ever leave your account.

FAQ

Why switch

01But why do you need a LeadDyno alternative?

LeadDyno can definitely help you launch an affiliate program! But it caps how many affiliates you can have, charges $129 a month for your own domain and never pays a partner for you. With Tolt, every plan has unlimited affiliates and a branded portal on your own domain, and auto payouts start on Growth.

02How much does LeadDyno cost?

LeadDyno has four plans, priced by active affiliates: Lite at $49 a month for 50, Essential at $129 for 150, Advanced at $349 for 500 and Unlimited at $749. A custom domain starts on Essential, and yearly billing saves 15%, except on Lite. Tolt starts at $99 a month, with unlimited affiliates, your own domain and auto payouts.

03Does LeadDyno still charge per visitor?

Not on its current plans: since early 2024, new customers pay by active affiliates, with unlimited clicks and conversions. Customers on its older plans still pay for every visitor past their plan’s limit, from $0.001 to $0.10 each. Tolt doesn’t bill for visitors or clicks: you pay by the revenue your partners bring in.

$0For visitors and clicks, on Tolt
04Does LeadDyno pay affiliates for you?

No. LeadDyno doesn’t hold or send money: you connect your own PayPal business account, once PayPal approves it for Payouts, and send each run yourself, or upload its CSV to PayPal, or mark commissions paid after paying another way. Tolt pays your partners for you on every plan, by PayPal, Wise, bank transfer or wire.

05Does LeadDyno file 1099s?

No. It lets affiliates upload a W-9 or W-8BEN as a PDF, and its tax report is a yearly CSV of what each affiliate was paid; filing is up to you. Tolt collects a W-9 or W-8 from every partner before they’re paid, and files 1099s for eligible US partners each January.
