# Getting Started

> Start here as an advertiser: what Affitor is, how click-to-payout tracking works, and the performance pricing — $0/month, 3.5% only after your first $10,000 in affiliate revenue.

Get the big picture first, then move into launch and tracking.

## Who these docs focus on

These docs currently focus on **advertisers**: the teams configuring programs, integrating tracking, reviewing commissions, and handling payouts.

Evaluating costs nothing: Affitor is $0/month with no setup fee, so you can [create your account at affitor.com](https://affitor.com) and explore the dashboard before you commit to anything. When you reach the integration step, you can do it by hand from the docs or hand it to an AI coding agent — `npx affitor onboard` installs tracking and verifies the click, signup, and sale chain end to end.
