If you’ve been following my work for a while, you know I spend a lot of time testing platforms, reviewing tools, and sharing the results.

Today I want to revisit Benable, a platform I tested and reviewed first almost 2 years ago, and have used quite a bit since then.

What is Benable, what’s changed, what makes it cool in 2025, and exactly how I use it.


What the hell is Benable

Benable describes itself as “the simplest way to share things you love and earn when people buy.”

That sounds like classic affiliate marketing, and in many ways it is.

But Benable’s strength isn’t its affiliate back-end; it’s the simple way to get into multiple affiliate programs and bundle them up in one nice-looking recommendation tool.


Benable Got Better

When I first tried Benable in 2023, it was nice, but limited.

The interface felt basic, and partner brands weren’t that many.

Since then, it’s gotten better:

1. Affiliate Links for Everything (Almost!)

Benable now plugs into over 35,000 brands, everything from Nike and Amazon, to software tools, travel sites, kitchen gadgets, booksellers.

Add a supported link (there’s a search box for checking), and Benable flips it into an affiliate code.

(This issue is behind paywall. You can sign up for my paid newsletter 50% off here if you enjoy my content & want more. Or read on Medium.)
