ModelGates partner program
Earn when companies use ModelGates
Introduce ModelGates to a company, team, or client. Choose the markup on their eligible API usage and receive 80% of that markup.
This is a partner earnings program—not an offer for free API access. Use it only when the introduction follows your employer policies and applicable disclosure rules.
How it works
Three steps from introduction to earnings
The detailed pricing, attribution, and payout rules are below. The partner journey itself is simple.
- Checkpoint 01

The economics
Your markup. Auditable math.
The customer price and affiliate balance both follow the same production formula. Standard price stays separate from the charge the referred account sees.

Illustrative example
Default-markup ledger
charge $110.00 · markup 10%
- Standard price
- $100.00
- Customer charge
- $110.00
- Markup delta
- $10.00
- Affiliate share
- $8.00
- ModelGates share
- $2.00
($110.00 − $100.00) × 80% = $8.00
Illustrative example: this is not an income forecast. The 80% applies to the markup delta—not total customer spend.

FAQ
Questions before you set a markup
The short version of price visibility, attribution, eligibility, and withdrawals.
Can referred customers see the price they pay?
Yes. ModelGates standard prices are public, and the referred account is charged the standard price plus the partner markup applied to its eligible usage.
What markup can I choose?
The supported range is 0–100%, and the default is 10%. You can change the setting in the affiliate dashboard; the current markup applies to subsequent eligible referred usage. At 0%, there is no markup delta and no affiliate accrual.
How does attribution work?
The referral link creates a 30-day signup window. If an eligible account signs up during that window and is assigned to the partner, lifetime account attribution means the account remains assigned for future eligible usage.
How are affiliate earnings calculated?
The customer charge includes the partner markup. ModelGates recovers the standard price, isolates the markup delta, then allocates 80% of that delta to the affiliate. It is not a percentage of the customer's total spend.
Who is eligible to participate?
An account that did not sign up through another partner may use the affiliate program. Self-referrals are excluded, and referred accounts are not eligible to become affiliates themselves.
Which wallet and network do payouts use?
Payouts use USDT on the TRC20 network. Enter a compatible TRC20 wallet and verify the address and network before requesting a withdrawal; an incompatible wallet or different network can result in lost funds.
When can I withdraw?
The minimum withdrawal is $50. Once an eligible balance reaches that amount, you can request a payout from the affiliate dashboard; processing is completed within 48 hours.
