Important
20% recurring is a decent mid-tier rate, but it's capped at 12 months rather than running indefinitely, limiting long-term earnings per referral. Enrollment runs through PartnerStack (not direct), with a 90-day cookie and clawbacks if the referral doesn't pay or churns early; minimum payout and approval time are still undocumented.
High - Tiered structure: 20% base, 25% at 100+ qualified leads (Power Affiliate), custom rate at 200+ (Champion Affiliate); 90-day cookie

What you would be selling

20% recurring for 12 months on a customer engagement suite, run through PartnerStack with tiers up to 25%+ for high-volume affiliates.

Read, and not published
Freshworks’s own material was read on these and says nothing. That is the answer: a program that does not state a term is not bound by one.

Nobody has looked for these, so nothing is claimed about them either way — not that Freshworks publishes them, and not that it does not.
