  YNAB (You Need A Budget) pays approximately $6 per trial sign-up. While the per-conversion amount is modest, YNAB's dedicated user base and high conversion from trial to paid subscription make it reliable.
• Is YNAB hard to promote?

  YNAB has a passionate community that actively evangelizes the product, which helps with conversion. However, the $14.99/month price for a budgeting app can be a hurdle. Focus on the ROI — most users report saving $600+ in their first month.
