Best AI App Builder Affiliate Programs 2026
Newly, Lovable, Framer and v0 compared on real payouts, plus the one hot tool in this category that pays affiliates nothing at all.
Published July 29, 2026 · Updated October 27, 2026 with Newly and Framer's new program
The tool everyone is searching for is the one that pays $0. Bolt.new runs no affiliate or sponsorship program, per its own support docs, so there is nothing to earn there. Of the AI app builders that do pay, Newly publishes the highest rate at 60% of each new customer's revenue for their first 6 months, Lovable pays up to $100 per first-time subscriber through Impact, Framer now runs referrals through a creator program on Dub without publishing its rate, and v0 by Vercel runs a program through Dub without publishing the rate.

Start here: Bolt.new pays affiliates nothing
Bolt.new, StackBlitz's AI app builder, is one of the most searched tools in this category, so it is the first thing people try to monetize. Save yourself the effort: Bolt.new does not run an affiliate or sponsorship program, and that is stated in its own support documentation, not guessed from a missing page. There is no link to get and no commission to collect. Note the name carefully too, because several unrelated companies use the word Bolt and some of them do have affiliate programs; none of those pays you for a Bolt.new subscription.
Newly: the highest published rate
Newly, formerly Natively, builds native iOS and Android apps from a plain English prompt with React Native and Expo, and helps you publish to TestFlight, the App Store and Google Play. Its affiliate program pays 60% of each referred new customer's revenue for their first 6 months, with a 30 day cookie and no cap on referrals. Payouts are monthly on NET-15 terms through Tolt, with no minimum, by PayPal, Wise, wire or local bank. Fees a customer pays to Apple, Google or a domain registrar do not count as revenue.
Plans start at $25 a month, so a customer on the $50 plan earns you $30 a month, $180 across the six months. The rules are short: no search ads on the Newly name, no coupon or cashback sites, and no self referrals. It is the clearest high number in this category for mobile app and founder audiences.
Lovable: strong demand, terms set inside Impact
Lovable is one of the fastest growing vibe-coding tools, which is the main reason to have a page ready for its branded searches. Its public affiliate page states you can earn up to $100 for each first-time subscriber, with monthly payouts through Impact. It does not publish a recurring rate or cookie window on that page, so we are not going to invent one; those live in the Impact campaign. Apply, read the exact terms there, and treat the $100 per subscriber as the confirmed number until the rest is verified.
Framer: now a creator program on Dub
Framer is a design-first site and app builder, so it converts a slightly different reader than the prompt-to-app tools. It has folded its referrals into a Creator Program: you join by being approved, publishing a product in its community, or joining as a Framer Expert. Links run on Dub, payouts go through Stripe once a month for commissions earned two months earlier, and the minimum balance is $200. Framer's own help pages no longer state the rate; it is widely reported as 50% of a customer's first year. Template purchases take priority over sign up links, so template makers earn first.
v0 by Vercel: apply and confirm
v0, Vercel's generative UI tool, runs a partner program through Dub, but the commission is not published openly, so it belongs in the apply-and-confirm bucket alongside anything else that hides its rate behind a signup. It is worth pursuing given Vercel's reach, but do not quote a number you have not seen in the dashboard.
How to pick
- Drop the tools that pay nothing. Bolt.new is off the table for monetization; cover it for the reader, recommend a payer.
- Lead with the published rate. Newly prints its full terms, 60% for 6 months with no minimum payout, which is the cleanest high number to build around.
- Do not quote hidden rates as fact. Lovable's recurring terms, Framer's rate and v0's rate all live behind a signup; label them as such until confirmed.
- Own the branded queries. This category's value is the rising search around each tool. A clear, honest review of each captures that traffic even where the payout is small or zero.
Methodology
Rates for Newly, Framer and Lovable are pulled from their live directory listings at build time and re-verified on a rolling basis; Newly's terms were checked on its affiliate and terms pages on October 27, 2026, and Framer's on its help center on October 25, 2026. The Bolt.new and v0 notes reflect what each company publishes: Bolt.new documents that it has no affiliate program, and v0 runs a Dub program without an open rate. Grades, where shown, are the trust layer defined in the methodology.
