About Synthesia
Synthesia turns typed scripts into presenter-led videos using stock or custom AI avatars, with dubbing, translation and screen recording built in, and sells it on Basic, Starter, Pro and Enterprise plans. Its affiliate program pays 25% of the net amount a referred customer pays, for 12 months from their first purchase. Net means after sales tax and any refunded or reclaimed amounts, and only a customer who has never registered on Synthesia before counts. The affiliate page describes the commission as covering Starter and Creator plan payments and headlines a ceiling of $267 per referral. Approved affiliates get a Rewardful dashboard for links and reporting. Commission falls due a month after the purchase and is paid in the first five business days of the following month, once at least $30 is owed; smaller balances roll forward. The agreement, in force since 16 November 2021, rules out any Synthesia-related keyword in paid ads and calls the commission scheme confidential. Affiliates also earn a free Starter account for a year after their 10th sale and a free personal avatar after their 15th.

Promotional rules
What Synthesia allows and forbids before you promote it.
- No paid search on Synthesia trademarks, misspellings of the name, brand-diluting terms or keywords that compete with Synthesia's business; the terms name Google Ads as an example.
- Rebates, coupons or other kick-backs paid out of your commission are not allowed.
- Unauthorised commercial messages such as spam are banned, so email only audiences that agreed to hear from you.
- Your domain name may not include "Synthesia" or its variants, and your site may not present itself as an official Synthesia site.
- The affiliate relationship must be disclosed prominently, at the latest when you share the referral link.
- Breaching the acceptable use policy forfeits earned commission and any commission already paid must be returned.
- Commission tied to a later refund can be reclaimed or deducted from future payouts.
- The terms treat the commission scheme and compensation details as especially confidential.
Requirements
Applicants fill in a short form linked from the affiliate page. Synthesia approves or declines at its sole discretion and does not give reasons for a rejection. Once accepted, you receive email instructions for collecting your referral link in Rewardful. No review time is published for applications.
- Applicants must be at least 18 years old
- An account with Rewardful, the tracking service Synthesia uses
- Referred customers must never have registered on Synthesia before
Who this is best for
Good fit
- Writers and YouTubers covering training, onboarding and internal communications video, the use cases Synthesia's own case studies lean on
- Affiliates who expect referrals to pay monthly for a full year, since every net payment in those 12 months earns 25%
Poor fit
- Search marketers whose plan depends on bidding for Synthesia's name or its misspellings
- Coupon and cashback sites, because passing part of the commission back to buyers is barred

- Free Starter account for a year at 10 sales and a free personal avatar at 15

Frequently asked questions
How long does Synthesia pay commission on a referral?
For 12 months from the customer's first purchase. During that year you earn 25% of the net amount they pay, meaning after sales tax and any refunds.
What is the Synthesia affiliate cookie length?
60 days. The visitor has to register within 60 days of clicking your link, and if they clicked several affiliates' links the last one is credited.
When does Synthesia pay affiliates?
Commission becomes due one month after the purchase and is paid in the first five business days of the next month, so a 7 January sale is paid in early March. Nothing is sent until you are owed more than $30; smaller amounts roll over.
Is the Synthesia Creator Program the same as the affiliate program?
No. The affiliate page points content creators on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn to a separate Creator Program that pays for views and states no follower minimum, alongside the 25% affiliate link.
