Descript vs SendShort affiliate programs
Descript and SendShort are AI video tools that both run affiliate programs. Descript lists $25 commission for each new Descript subscriber that you refer through PartnerStack; SendShort lists 30% through FirstPromoter. SendShort lists the longer referral cookie: 60 days against 30. aifilliate records each program from a cited vendor source and does not rank the two.

What matches, what differs
Differences
- Payout structure differs: one-time against recurring.
- Different platforms: PartnerStack against FirstPromoter, meaning two dashboards and two payout schedules.
- SendShort lists the longer referral cookie: 60 days against 30.
In common
- Both are AI video tools.
What these terms mean in practice
Attribution splits between day 30 and day 60. A referral who clicks today and subscribes on day 45 is still credited by SendShort, but no longer by Descript.
A customer who stays subscribed for two years pays out on every qualifying renewal with SendShort, and once with Descript. Which produces more depends on plan price and retention, neither of which appears in published terms.
Promoting both means two applications, two dashboards, and two payout schedules — PartnerStack for Descript and FirstPromoter for SendShort, each with its own approval and its own minimum.
Which record fits which promoter
- Descript: suits audiences that convert quickly; its 30-day window is shorter, so timing matters more.
- SendShort: suits traffic that deliberates before buying — the 60-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.
- Descript does not publish a payout threshold.
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.
Descript pays one-time commission and SendShort pays recurring, which typically matters more than the headline rate over a customer's lifetime. SendShort lists the longer referral cookie: 60 days against 30.
aifilliate publishes no ranking between Descript and SendShort. 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.
