- Nutrola's 20% on every renewal means the long-term value grows as the subscriber stays. Flat-bounty programs pay once and stop.
Some nutrition app programs pay a flat amount per referral. Others pay a percentage of the subscription price. Flat bounty is simple to calculate; percentage varies with plan choice and price. Understanding which model suits your audience shapes your earnings.
Which programs pay a flat bounty?
Noom and MyNetDiary pay a fixed amount per referral. Noom pays $10 to $15 per qualified trial or sign-up. MyNetDiary pays $10 per qualified referral. You know the exact payout before you refer anyone. You get paid once, when the referral converts, regardless of whether they choose a monthly or yearly plan.
| Program | Flat bounty | Per conversion | On renewals |
|---|---|---|---|
| Noom | $10-$15 | Per qualified trial or sign-up | No |
| MyNetDiary | $10 | Per qualified referral | No |
Flat bounties are straightforward: you know what you earn for each referral. They favour creators who refer a steady flow of people, because the amount is the same regardless of plan choice. A follower who buys yearly or monthly makes no difference to your payout.
Which programs pay a percentage?
MacroFactor, Cronometer, YAZIO and Nutrola pay a percentage of the subscription price. MacroFactor pays 40% of the first payment, which at US prices is roughly $28.80 on a yearly plan, and nothing on renewals. Cronometer's ShareASale listing pays 35% per Gold sale, roughly $21 on a yearly plan. YAZIO's FlexOffers listing pays 8% of web sales, with in-app sales excluded; YAZIO's own Content Creator page for social creators publishes no rate at all. Nutrola pays 20% on every subscription payment, including renewals.
| Program | Percentage | Of what | At US yearly price | On renewals |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MacroFactor | 40% | First payment only | ~$28.80 (on ~$72 yearly) | No |
| Cronometer | 35% | Per Gold sale | ~$21 (on $59.99 yearly) | Not stated |
| YAZIO | 8% | Web sales only, in-app excluded | Not stated (YAZIO's own price is not on its partner page) | Not stated |
| Nutrola | 20% | Every subscription payment | $8.00 (on $39.99 yearly) | Yes, every year |
Percentage payouts vary with plan choice and price. A follower who buys a cheap monthly plan pays you less commission than one who buys yearly. But percentage programs reward high subscription prices and, for recurring programs like Nutrola, reward long subscriber lifetime.
When does a flat bounty win?
Flat bounty wins when you need a guaranteed amount per conversion. If you want to know exactly what each referral is worth and do not want to depend on plan choice, flat bounty is simpler. It also wins on cheap monthly plans, where percentage programs pay very little. At Nutrola's $9.99 monthly price, 20% is $2.00 per rebill, which a $10 to $15 Noom bounty beats on a single conversion.
When does a percentage win?
Percentage wins when subscriptions are expensive or when subscribers renew. MacroFactor's 40% of its roughly $72 implied yearly plan ($28.80) beats Noom's $10-$15 bounty. Nutrola's 20% recurring means a yearly subscriber pays you $8 every year they stay, while flat-bounty programs pay once and you never earn from that subscriber again. Over three years, a Nutrola subscriber pays you $24; a Noom referral pays $10-$15 once.
How do you decide which to prioritize?
The choice depends on your audience and your goals. If you want predictable, easy-to-understand earnings, flat bounty is clearer: you know $10-$15 per sign-up. If you want to maximize long-term earnings and your audience leans toward yearly subscriptions, percentage programs especially recurring ones like Nutrola reward retention. The best move is to apply to both types of programs and see which ones accept you. The code-based programs (Nutrola, MacroFactor, MyNetDiary) track referrals independently, so a follower can refer through multiple programs at once. A single reel can earn you both a Noom referral payment and a Nutrola recurring commission, since each program tracks its own attribution.
What is a Nutrola yearly referral worth against a one-time payout, over time?
Illustration, not a promise: assume a follower of yours converts to Nutrola's $39.99 yearly plan. You earn $8.00 the first year, and $8.00 again every year they renew, $24.00 over three years if they keep renewing. Set that against the other programs' own published one-time figures for a single referral: MacroFactor pays $28.80 once, on the first payment, and nothing after. Cronometer pays roughly $21 once, per Gold sale; whether a renewal counts is not stated. Noom pays $10 to $15 once, per qualified trial or sign-up. Each of those is a single payment no matter how long that subscriber stays. Nutrola's running total passes Cronometer's roughly $21 in year three, and passes MacroFactor's $28.80 in year four, at $32.00; before that, the one-time programs are ahead on that single referral. What a referred subscriber is worth to a creator over time.
Why does a flat bounty win for a price-sensitive audience?
Flat bounties make sense when your audience is price-sensitive or attracted to free trials and promos. Noom's page does not say whether a "qualified trial or sign-up" requires the trial to convert to a paid plan, so whether an unconverted trial pays out is not stated. What is stated: percentage programs only pay when a subscriber actually pays, and Nutrola's own trial rule is explicit, a free trial that ends without payment pays nothing, a trial that converts pays when it converts. If your audience mostly chooses a cheap monthly plan, percentage programs pay less per conversion: at Nutrola's $9.99 monthly price, 20% is $2.00 per rebill, well under a $10 to $15 flat bounty.
Why does a percentage win for a loyal audience?
Among the percentage programs in this table, only Nutrola pays on renewals, so only Nutrola rewards a creator when a subscriber stays. MacroFactor and Cronometer pay once, on the first payment or first Gold sale, whether that subscriber stays a month or five years. A follower who signs up for Nutrola's yearly plan and keeps renewing pays you $8.00 every year, $24.00 over three years, with no extra work from you after the first reel. A bounty program pays once and stops there, regardless of how long that subscriber stays. Recurring vs one-time affiliate commission, compared.

Frequently asked questions
What is a flat-bounty affiliate program?
A program that pays a fixed amount per referral, regardless of subscription price or how long the subscriber stays. Noom pays $10-$15 per qualified trial or sign-up. MyNetDiary pays $10 per qualified referral. You always know exactly how much each referral is worth when you make it. You get paid once, for the referral action.
What is a percentage affiliate program?
A program that pays a percentage of the subscription price. MacroFactor pays 40% of the first payment only, which the page states as $28.80 on the yearly plan, implying a yearly price of roughly $72. Cronometer pays 35% per Gold sale. YAZIO's FlexOffers listing pays 8% of web sales, with in-app sales excluded. Nutrola pays 20% on every subscription payment, first payment and renewals. The payout depends on the price the subscriber paid.
Which model pays more?
It depends on price and retention, using each program's own published figures. MacroFactor's 40% of its roughly $72 implied yearly plan is $28.80 once, more than Noom's $10 to $15 bounty on a single referral. At Nutrola's $9.99 monthly price, 20% is $2.00 per rebill, less than Noom's flat bounty on one conversion. Nutrola's 20% recurring rate on its $39.99 yearly plan pays $8.00 every year a subscriber renews, so it overtakes a one-time payout the longer that subscriber stays.
