The Key Difference
Tolt is affiliate software for SaaS startups, and it’s refreshingly direct about it. Connect Stripe, Paddle, or Chargebee and you’re running in about fifteen minutes. The two-way sync means Tolt knows immediately when a customer subscribes, cancels, or gets refunded, and adjusts the affiliate’s balance to match. Affiliates get a branded portal on your own subdomain, and you keep 100% of the commissions.
All of that rests on one assumption: that a billing provider you connected is the one recording the sale. For an app on the App Store or Google Play, it isn’t. Apple and Google take the payment, no Stripe charge is ever created, and there’s nothing for the sync to reconcile. The referral link is the other half of the problem - a click in a browser, an install in a store, and a cookie that doesn’t cross the gap.
WinWinKit is built for that funnel. The user claims a code inside your app, which fixes attribution without a cookie, and revenue is read from App Store Connect and Google Play directly, or through RevenueCat.

When to Choose WinWinKit
- Your users subscribe through the app stores. Apple and Google record the purchase, so a two-way sync with your billing provider has nothing to sync. WinWinKit reads the store transaction itself.
- You want commissions off real revenue. WinWinKit reads subscription revenue directly from App Store Connect and Google Play, or through RevenueCat if that’s your setup - either way commissions follow what you actually earned, not an estimated conversion.
- You want mobile-native rewards. A special paywall via a RevenueCat Offering, a free month via an Entitlement, or a discounted subscription via an App Store Offer Code or Google Play Promo Code - rewards that only exist in the app ecosystem.
- Your app onboards on the web. If the first payment happens on your site and the product is delivered in the app, WinWinKit tracks the Stripe purchase alongside the store ones, so one code covers the whole funnel.
- You need more than affiliates. Affiliate campaigns, referral programs, and promo code campaigns share one attribution system and one revenue view - Tolt covers affiliates only.
- You build in Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, or React Native. WinWinKit ships an SDK for each; Tolt’s integration is a script for your website.
When to Choose Tolt
- Your product lives in the browser. Tolt assumes a web funnel: a referral link, a cookie, and a subscription your payment processor records. If your customers buy on your site, that model works and WinWinKit’s in-app codes buy you nothing.
- You bill through Paddle or Chargebee. Tolt syncs with both, as it does with Stripe. WinWinKit connects to RevenueCat, the app stores, and Stripe, so a product billed through either has no path in.
- You sell on Shopify. Tolt has a direct integration; WinWinKit has none.
