Acronis

Acronis is a cyber protection vendor headquartered in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, and Singapore, selling both consumer backup software and an MSP-focused security platform. The consumer flagship, Acronis True Image (renamed from Cyber Protect Home Office in 2024), bundles full-image and file-level backup to local disks or the Acronis Cloud with AI-based anti-ransomware, antivirus, vulnerability assessment, and web filtering in a single installer. Plans run from Essentials through Advanced and Premium, with cloud storage tiers up to 5 TB and licenses covering 1, 3, or 5 devices across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Pricing typically lands between USD 49.99 and USD 124.99 per year depending on devices and storage.

On the business side, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is the MSP SKU sold through a partner channel and covers backup and disaster recovery, EDR, anti-malware, DLP, email security, and patch management across more than 25 workload types (VMware, Hyper-V, AWS, Azure, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Windows, Linux, macOS, mobile). For affiliate content, the consumer True Image line is the easy conversion path: buyers comparing it against Acronis alternatives (Backblaze, IDrive, Carbonite, Macrium) want a clear picture of image backup plus built-in anti-ransomware, and Acronis consistently reviews well on recovery reliability and dashboard design. Review sites usually flag its higher price and heavier resource use versus pure-cloud backup rivals.

Acronis runs the affiliate program through CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction). Publishers apply via CJ's publisher signup and then request the Acronis advertiser relationship inside the CJ dashboard; the public info page at acronis.com/partners/affiliates routes interested publishers to CJ. Once approved, affiliates get tracked deeplinks, banners, a product feed, and access to seasonal promo creatives (Black Friday, back-to-school, renewal discounts) inside CJ's reporting interface.

Commissions range from roughly 5% to 20% per sale depending on the product tier and publisher performance, with the higher end typically reserved for Acronis True Image Advanced and Premium or for negotiated bespoke rates with high-volume partners. The cookie window is 30 days from click to signup. Acronis pays commissions only on new customer orders, excluding renewals, upgrades inside an active subscription, and self-referrals. Commissions validate on CJ's standard locking cycle (typically 30 to 60 days after the action posts) and then pay on CJ's net-20 monthly cycle via direct deposit, check, or Payoneer, subject to CJ's USD 50 and USD 100 minimums. Coupon-driven and trademark-bidding traffic is excluded per the CJ program agreement.
