What matches, what differs
Differences
- Riverside lists the longer referral cookie: 90 days against 30.
In common
- Both are AI video tools.
- Both run on PartnerStack, so one dashboard covers them.
What these terms mean in practice
Attribution splits between day 30 and day 90. A referral who clicks today and subscribes on day 60 is still credited by Riverside, but no longer by Descript.
Which record fits which promoter
- Descript: suits audiences that convert quickly; its 30-day window is shorter, so timing matters more.
- Riverside: suits traffic that deliberates before buying — the 90-day window still credits slow conversions.
What is not published
Anything below has to be confirmed with the vendor before either offer can be modelled. aifilliate records it as unknown rather than estimating it.
- Neither vendor publishes a payout threshold.
- Riverside does not publish whether the payout recurs.
How to read these two records
These payouts do not share a basis — one is quoted as a percentage, the other as a flat amount per conversion. A percentage of an unknown plan price and a fixed bounty are not the same unit, so aifilliate does not rank them.
The payout structure is not stated for both programs. Riverside lists the longer referral cookie: 90 days against 30.
aifilliate publishes no ranking between Descript and Riverside. Which program earns more depends on plan price, conversion rate, retention, and refund reversals in your own audience — none of which appear in published affiliate terms. Confirm eligibility, paid-search and trademark rules, and payout timing with each vendor before promoting either.
