Get stunning affiliate product boxes, automatic price updates, and multi-site management — without the premium price tag or WordPress lock-in.
Lasso is a link management tool, but it comes at a steep price — and its product display boxes are secondary to its core focus.
Lasso embeds shortcodes throughout your posts. If you ever switch tools, you'll need to remove every display element manually — and Lasso's code persists in your database even after the plugin is uninstalled.
Lasso is a WordPress plugin. If you publish on Ghost, Squarespace, or any other platform, Lasso can't follow you there.
Lasso offers only a handful of preset display themes. Changing button colors or fonts requires custom CSS. AffiliateBoxes has a full visual editor — no code needed.
Lasso doesn't have built-in coupon code management. AffiliateBoxes lets you add codes per network with expiration dates — they appear as a click-to-reveal button on your box.

AffiliateBoxes focuses on product display and conversion. If link cloaking is critical to your workflow, Lasso may be a better fit.
Lasso handles auditing and cloaking of affiliate links across a WordPress site. AffiliateBoxes is purpose-built for something different: creating high-converting product boxes that look great, update automatically, and work on any website you run — with no lock-in and no strings attached.
