Quick answer
Yes. Dadan pays affiliates 30% of every payment a referred customer makes, for the lifetime of their subscription. On the $24 Pro plan that is $7.20 a month, or $5.76 for the first three months while your 20% referral discount applies. The cookie lasts 60 days, there is no application, and commission is held 30 days and then paid monthly by PayPal once you reach $50.
About Dadan
Dadan is a screen and webcam recorder for async video, pitched squarely as a cheaper Loom alternative. You record a walkthrough, demo or meeting from the browser extension, desktop app or Mac app, edit it, and share it with viewer analytics and comments. AI features generate transcripts, chapters, titles, meeting notes and step-by-step guides from a recording, and interactive videos add forms, calls to action and polls to turn viewers into leads. There is a free plan with 25 videos; paid plans are Lite at $14 a month, Pro at $24 a month with unlimited storage and AI credits, and Business at $14 a seat a month billed yearly for teams of three or more, with up to 43% off on annual billing. The affiliate program is joined from inside the Dadan app. There is no application: you open Refer & Earn, accept the terms and your referral link is created straight away. Tracking runs through Affonso, partner software Dadan plugs into its own app, so the dashboard is Dadan’s and the terms are Dadan’s. Commission is 30% of every payment a referred customer makes, for the lifetime of their subscription. Your audience gets 20% off their first three monthly payments, or their first yearly payment, and because commission is a share of what is paid, those discounted payments earn a little less. A Pro customer at $24 a month is worth $5.76 a month for the first three months and $7.20 a month after that. Each commission is held for 30 days, then paid monthly by PayPal once you have $50.

Poor fit
- Affiliates who rely on paid search, since brand and competitor keyword ads are both banned

Editor's notes
The submission described the program as in-house; Dadan’s own terms say referrals are tracked through Affonso, so that is what the record names. The affiliate page’s earnings examples use the full $24 Pro price, but commission is a share of payments made, so a referral’s first three discounted months earn 20% less. The terms (last updated October 2026) let Dadan change the rate or the terms without notice. The record rests only on Dadan’s own affiliate page, affiliate terms and pricing page.
