Editor's notes
This record is a good example of our null policy. Almost every competing directory states a 90-day ActiveCampaign cookie. We could not find that figure on any ActiveCampaign-controlled page, so the field stays null and the score renormalises around the components we can actually verify.

Frequently asked questions
How much does ActiveCampaign pay affiliates?
Between 20% and 30% of subscription value, recurring for up to twelve months per referred customer. The rate rises with new business volume and referral retention.
What is the ActiveCampaign affiliate cookie duration?
ActiveCampaign does not publish one. Its affiliate page and help centre article both omit the attribution window, so we have recorded it as not publicly disclosed rather than repeating an unverified figure.
