In 2026, SaaS partner programs continue to be one of the most powerful revenue channels for you to scale your business, earn recurring commissions, co-sell with major software brands or expand your ecosystem. With constant SaaS partnerships news and updates reshaping the industry, however, partners are searching for the most reliable, highest-earning programs to join.
That’s why we caught up with Randy Harinandan, Senior Network Development Manager at PartnerStack, to spotlight 10 of the best SaaS partner programs to join in 2026.
Why SaaS partner programs drive B2B growth in 2026
As more companies embrace partner-led go-to-market strategies, B2B partner programs have become essential. Businesses need scalable ways to reach and influence customers, and to expand product adoption.
PartnerStack’s ecosystem of B2B SaaS partner programs is designed to support affiliates, resellers and referral partners at every stage. Through these programs, partners can earn predictable, recurring revenue, access new co-selling opportunities, offer clients reliable, vetted solutions, and gain access to new data and tools.
10 of the best SaaS partner programs to join in 2026
Program: Work-management.org
What it is: Work management and productivity partner program
Work-management.org runs B2B SaaS partner programs focused on work management, project management and CRM ecosystems. Partners gain access to in-depth comparison tools, targeted and qualified traffic, multichannel exposure, product positioning and top search engine results.
“They do really well in SEO and they’ve been growing organically,” Harinandan says. “They’re investing in AEO and GEO and other digital marketing strategies.”
That growth is expected to continue next year, making Work-management.org a powerful SaaS partnership opportunity for agencies, consultants and those looking to work smarter, not harder.
Program: Capital One Shopping
What it is: Consumer insights and commerce data partner program
Capital One Shopping offers revenue-driving SaaS partnerships for those looking to leverage real browsing and purchasing data. The company boasts millions of active users and a platform that delivers insights based on real consumer behavior.
“They’re new to the B2B space, but have been around forever on the B2C side of affiliates,” Harinandan says. “Because of their credit card, they have their own ecosystem that they are able to target dramatically down to the individual level.”
He adds that technology puts Capital One Shopping ahead in the B2B space, plus it uses the familiar cash-back publisher model. That makes their approach a highly targeted and innovative one that hasn’t really been done at the B2B level.
Partners can use that ecosystem and targeted insights to help clients optimize campaigns, increase conversions and shape customer journeys. Marketers, media buyers, e-commerce consultants and companies interested in specific data sets to drive growth could benefit from a Capital One Shopping partnership in 2026.
Program: LUX Rewards
What it is: Card-linked offer (CLO) partner program
LUX Rewards offers a MasterCard-backed, B2B SaaS partner program with an audience of over 20 million business cardholders. That’s an incredible reach for those in the market for an affiliate-focused SaaS partner program, particularly one that allows vendors to exist within an ecosystem that’s immune to search engine traffic volatility.
“I love to call them agnostic because they don’t need to rank anywhere; they have their own user base,” Harinandan says. “They have a closed gateway that users log into specifically to shop and earn rewards.”
Partners who want targeted access to a high-spending audience or scalable partnerships in rewards technology could benefit from a LUX Rewards partnership in 2026.
Program: Linkby
What it is: CPC editorial and publishing partner program
Linkby helps brands secure premium editorial coverage using a cost-per-click model. Through the PartnerStack Network, Linkby’s reseller and referral partner program allows agencies and consultants to deliver guaranteed publisher access, something Harinandan says vendors often struggle to obtain directly. Meanwhile, CPC-based pricing reduces risk while providing access to multiple publishing categories and trusted editorial.
“They have access to traditional B2C editorial from the Condé Nast brands all the way down to the Wirecutters. These publications can be almost impossible to work with directly,” Harinandan explains. “They also have their own set of B2B publications they work with, giving partners easier access.” That’s key as brand trust continues to be one of the most important factors in buying decisions.
Program: Semantic Labs
What it is: Performance marketing and paid search partner program
Semantic Labs runs a performance-based B2B SaaS partner program that shares risk and relies on data-driven paid search methods to help partners increase revenue. The company is Google-certified and builds on what your team is already doing.
“They won’t bid on conflicting keywords or anything that drives up your cost,” Harinandan says. “Their paid search strategy is one of the bigger ones in the network, and they’ve grown so much that they've added more resources.”
Partners looking for an efficient spend this year can benefit from Semantic Labs’ deep love of, well, semantics, from integrated AI and optimization to co-marketing opportunities and expertise in high-paid search performance.

Program: Audiohook
What it is: Podcast advertising and audio network partner program
Audiohook offers a leading SaaS partnership for brands looking to activate podcast audiences at scale. It has access to nearly every major podcast series and network, allowing partners to share marketing and messaging with targeted content users.
“They have a third party that measures the intent of users and weeds out what traffic the vendor would have already gotten,” Harinandan says. “They have great potential and a pretty great reach.”
That reach translates to dynamic ad placement that can be a powerful addition to those looking for multichannel advertising and marketing in the B2B space. In short, Audiohook is one of the strongest partner ecosystems for media buyers and agencies looking to expand into digital audio, especially as podcast audiences are projected to grow to 600 million this year.
Program: Linkbux
What it is: Performance subnetwork and traffic quality partner program
Linkbux is a traditional subnetwork with a modern twist: it optimizes for qualified leads and high-quality traffic through revenue-share and CPA models. Its hands-on approach ensures partners are always backed by a publisher mix that evolves with the market.
“If you have a new affiliate program with PartnerStack as a vendor and you’re ready to launch, Linkbux is a quick win to get you a lot of traffic,” Harinandan says. “That traffic won’t all convert, because a lot of these publishers are always looking for new opportunities. But you’ll get a ton of traffic, and then from there they optimize as you move ahead.”
It’s a stable partnership option with competitive payouts and strategic support, making it a consistent and scalable option for 2026 and beyond.
Program: Emporia
What it is: B2B audience solutions and market research partner program
Emporia runs one of the most targeted B2B partner programs for companies seeking verified professionals. Its platform recruits LinkedIn-verified audiences for surveys and interviews, creating demand-gen activities that help vendors connect directly with their ideal customer profiles.
“Emporia is sitting on a lot of data,” Harinandan explains. “As a vendor, you go in and give them your whole campaign, and it tailors its marketing towards it. It was a slow start, but it’s starting to come to fruition over the last couple of months, and we’re seeing activity now.”
This SaaS partnership opportunity is especially strong for market research firms, agencies or enterprise SaaS vendors looking to target niche audiences this year.
Program: Nicely Network
What it is: Organic Reddit and AI mentions partner program
Nicely Network offers a unique SaaS partner program that’s focused on driving Reddit engagement and AI mentions across platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini. They amplify brands through SEO and AEO-optimized coverage on authority websites and in US media placements.
According to Harinandan, content placements can include destinations like Yahoo.com and Business Insider, while Reddit marketing includes organic campaigns to spark brand discussion and drive recommendations.
Partners can benefit from that organic execution while enjoying visible, AI-driven content — a bonus as the search landscape continues to shift. That makes Nicely Network ideal for agencies working in digital PR, SEO or AI-focused content amplification.

Program: TechnologyAdvice
What it is: Software buying insights and demand-gen partner program
TechnologyAdvice is a leader in software-buying research and operates a portfolio of high-ranking websites that influence technology purchasing decisions. Its referral and reseller partner ecosystem helps partners connect clients with trusted product reviews, comparisons and buyers’ guides.
Harinandan says that with a TechnologyAdvice partnership through the PartnerStack Network, partners can earn commissions from verified software referrals, access targeted audiences and build stronger client relationships through informed recommendations.
If you advise clients on SaaS selection, TechnologyAdvice is one of the most proven and consistent SaaS partner programs to join in 2026.
