MediaFind now has an affiliate program: 50% recurring
MediaFind Pro became a subscription this month, which means recurring revenue — and we'd rather split that with the people who actually recommend the app than with an ad network. The program pays 50% of every payment your referrals make, for as long as they stay subscribed. Here are the terms, the math, and the short list of rules.
Why now
In July 2026 MediaFind Pro moved from a one-time license to a subscription — $24.99/mo, or $107.88/yr ($8.99/mo effective). The reason was simple: the interesting work on this product is ongoing local-model work — better transcription tiers, trained scene heads, cross-channel fusion — and a one-time price doesn't fund work that never finishes.
A subscription also changes what kind of marketing makes sense. We don't run ads, and we're not going to start. Nearly everyone who buys MediaFind heard about it from an editor, a newsletter, or a video where the app found a clip in front of the camera. That's word of mouth doing work an ad budget can't — and until now, nobody got paid for it. Now that revenue recurs, we can share it properly.
The terms
- 50% of all payments — not just the first one. As long as your referral stays subscribed, you keep getting half of what they pay.
- 60-day cookie. Someone clicks your link, thinks about it for a month and a half, then subscribes — it still counts.
- Run on Rewardful. Tracking, your dashboard, and payouts are all handled through Rewardful. We see the same numbers you do.
Two honest wrinkles worth knowing before you do the mental math. First, Pro has a 7-day free trial, so commission starts when your referral actually pays, not when they click or start a trial. Second, the FIRSTMONTH999 promo drops a referral's first month to $9.99 — your cut is 50% of what was actually paid, so a discounted first month pays you about $5, then ~$12.50 from month two on.
The math
- Monthly plan: $24.99/mo → ~$12.50/mo to you, every month that referral stays.
- Annual plan: $107.88/yr → ~$54/yr to you, per year.
Why 50%? Because we can afford it, and it's the honest split. MediaFind runs entirely on the customer's Mac — there's no per-user cloud inference bill eating margin. The marginal cost of one more subscriber is roughly zero, so half of the revenue for bringing them in seemed fairer than a tiered schedule we'd fiddle with forever.
Who this fits
Anyone whose audience handles footage: editors and videographers, YouTubers who cover editing workflows, podcast producers, course creators, and writers covering privacy-first or local-first software. The test is simple — if mentioning a local media-search app would feel natural in something you were going to publish anyway, this fits. If you'd have to manufacture the reason, it probably doesn't.
The rules
Few, and boring on purpose:
- Disclose the relationship. FTC rules require it, and your audience deserves it anyway.
- No self-referral. Buying through your own link isn't a discount mechanism.
- No bidding on brand keywords. Don't buy "MediaFind" search ads and pocket the difference.
- Don't overclaim. The app does a lot; say what it actually does. The deep dives on this blog are deliberately specific — link to them.
