Full directory

All 225 affiliate programs apps.

Every active app Ongoing.AI tracks in this category, best-first by review count. Each links through to its live report — ratings, install footprint, review fingerprint, and rank trajectory.

Methodology

Where the numbers come from.

Ratings, review counts, pricing, “Built for Shopify,” and category memberships come from the live Shopify App Store listing — refreshed daily by Ongoing.AI’s crawler. The leaderboard filters to apps rated 4.0★+ then orders by review count: a credibility-weighted definition of “best.” Rank race and movers come from daily category-page archives — each day’s position is the best (lowest) rank we observed across all pages of the Affiliate programs category. New entries are apps whose first-seen date lands in the last 28 days. Snapshot generated .

Watch every affiliate programs switch as it happens.

Ongoing.AI tracks every Shopify brand’s app stack daily. Find the merchants on each app, catch the moment they install or churn, and reach out the same day.
