Affiliate vs. AI Business Partner: Which Tier Should You Choose?

Both tiers pay lifetime recurring commissions on MAZ Assist. Here's the 60-second decision framework — plus what you actually get inside each dashboard.

Affiliate vs. AI Business Partner: Which Tier Should You Choose?

MAZ Assist has two partner tracks. Both pay recurring commissions for the customer's lifetime — the difference is depth of relationship and unit economics.

Affiliate Partner (free)

  • 10% recurring on every plan your referrals stay on.
  • Referral link + tracking dashboard.
  • Great for creators, newsletter authors, and community owners.

AI Business Partner ($600 one-time)

  • 20% recurring — double the affiliate rate — for life.
  • Signed certificate from MAZ Technology LLC.
  • Curated decision-maker leads with phone numbers.
  • Priority routing on support and dedicated onboarding.

Rule of thumb: if you plan to actively pitch and close > 2 deals a month, the AI Business tier pays for itself inside the first billing cycle. Otherwise, start free as an Affiliate Partner.
