Review dueChecked against the vendor’s own terms
Quick answer
Yes. monday.com’s affiliate page says you can earn up to 100% of each referred customer’s first-year sales under a tier model, paid through PartnerStack. Its PartnerStack listing instead offers online affiliates a cost-per-lead (“$10+ per signup”), and the 2021 terms set a 60-day tracking window where PartnerStack says 90 days.
About monday.com
monday.com sells work management, CRM and dev tooling built on a configurable board model. Its affiliate program runs on PartnerStack, and monday.com’s own sources describe three different payouts. The affiliate page says that under a tier model you can earn up to 100% commission on the first year’s sales of each customer you refer. The PartnerStack listing offers online affiliates a cost-per-lead deal per sign-up (“$10+ per signup” in the listing) and partners up to 20% per closed deal. The December 2021 referral terms linked from PartnerStack pay a percentage of net sales for up to 2 years, and it is unclear whether they govern the affiliate track.

Promotional rules
What monday.com allows and forbids before you promote it.
- The 2021 terms ban marketing monday.com on Google Ads, Facebook and YouTube ads, and on any other channel monday.com itself uses.
- No bidding on sponsored search links that include monday.com brands, and no domain names containing them.
- No rebates, cashback, paid-to-click or discounts offered for using your link or converting a trial into a paid plan.
- Email must comply with CAN-SPAM; unsolicited bulk mail counts as SPAM and can lead to forfeited fees.
- Fees are paid within 45 days of the end of the month in which monday.com received the net sales, by wire against an invoice.
- Balances below the $300 threshold carry over to the next month, and nothing is paid on renewals or second purchases outside the payment period.
Requirements
monday.com may reject a partner application at its sole discretion, per the terms. The rate card that applies to you is visible only inside PartnerStack after approval.
- A purchase counts only within the 60-day eligibility period, and only if the customer is not already inside another partner’s eligibility period
Who this is best for
Good fit
- Content and email publishers, since the terms bar Google, Facebook and YouTube ads but allow CAN-SPAM-compliant email
- Affiliates with enough volume to clear a $300 balance, since smaller amounts carry over month to month
Poor fit
- Paid-media affiliates: Google Ads, Facebook and YouTube ads for monday.com are prohibited
- Coupon and cashback sites, since discounts and rebates tied to your link are not allowed
Pros and limitations
Pros
- monday.com’s own page advertises up to 100% of a referred customer’s first-year sales under its tier model
- The PartnerStack listing adds a cost-per-lead option that pays on sign-ups ($10+ per signup) rather than purchases
- Email promotion is permitted under the terms, provided it complies with CAN-SPAM
Limitations
- No payout until your balance reaches $300 under the 2021 terms; smaller amounts roll over
- Three official payout descriptions — up to 100% of first-year sales, a CPL per sign-up, a 2-year revenue share — and the real rate card appears only after approval
- The tracking window is 60 days in the terms but 90 days on PartnerStack
- Paid search and paid social are ruled out: the terms ban Google Ads, Facebook and YouTube ads and brand bidding

Editor's notes
Until 27 September this record said monday.com's affiliate page published no rate; the page does state up to 100% of each referred customer's first-year sales under a tier model. That still conflicts with the PartnerStack listing's cost-per-lead for online affiliates and the December 2021 referral terms' share of net sales for up to 2 years. This record follows the affiliate page for the rate and the 2021 terms for the 60-day cookie and $300 threshold, though it is unclear whether those terms govern the affiliate track.
