Cronometer vs Nutrola Creator Program, Compared (September 2026)
Published · Facts checked · By Nutrola Creator Program Team
In short
- Cronometer has two routes: a Partner form (no published rates) for people who use the app, and a ShareASale affiliate listing paying $0.10 per lead plus 35% of Gold sales (about $21 yearly), with a 365-day cookie and $50 minimum payout, as of September 2026.
- Nutrola pays 20% of the subscription price the subscriber paid on every payment, with no minimum payout, no cap, and no published follower minimum.
- Cronometer requires genuine use and love of the app; Nutrola sets creator accounts up with Premium before they film.
- Cronometer's long cookie (365 days) means a subscriber acquired now still pays out even if they convert a year later; Nutrola's code is entered at sign-up, so timing is not a factor.
Cronometer is a nutrition-tracking app with food-database tools. It has two creator paths: a partner program and a separate affiliate listing. Nutrola has one creator code that can stand alone or sit on top of a paid deal. This guide puts the two side by side from their own pages, and closes with who should pick which.
Nutrola runs one of the programs discussed here. Every figure about another program is quoted from that company's own page or its affiliate-network listing, linked under Sources, as checked on 17 September 2026. Terms change; check the source before you rely on a number.
How do the two programs compare on paper?
| Cronometer (Partner or ShareASale) | Nutrola creator code | |
|---|---|---|
| Commission structure | Partner: negotiated (no published rate). ShareASale: $0.10 per lead plus 35% per Gold sale | 20% of the subscription price the subscriber paid |
| Per referral, yearly plan | ShareASale: $0.10 lead fee plus $21 per sale (35% of $59.99) | $8.00 per year for as long as the subscriber renews (US price $39.99) |
| Renewals | ShareASale: not stated; Partner: negotiated | Paid on every renewal and monthly rebill |
| Attribution | ShareASale: affiliate link; Partner: not stated | Code entered in the app during onboarding |
| Cookie window | ShareASale: 365 days | No cookie; code entered at sign-up |
| Who it is for | Partner: people who use and love Cronometer. ShareASale: anyone with an affiliate link | Fitness, nutrition, wellness and lifestyle creators at any size; Premium is set up before you film |
| Payout minimum | ShareASale: $50 minimum payout | None; small balances roll into the next month |
| Paid content alongside | Not stated | Yes, offers can include a fee for reels or files, set per creator |
| Languages | Not stated | Any of the app's 20 languages |
Where is Cronometer's program stronger?
- The cookie is long. ShareASale's 365-day window means a follower who clicks your link but does not buy for months still counts as your referral. Nutrola's code requires sign-up to record the referral, so timing is immediate.
- The Partner path is flexible. If you use and love the app, the Partner form lets you propose a deal; rates and shapes are negotiated instead of fixed.
- Affiliate link is standard. ShareASale is a known network, and the affiliate link is portable across your website, email and social profiles.
Where is the Nutrola code stronger?
- It keeps paying. Every renewal pays 20% again. A monthly subscriber who stays six months pays you $12 under the Nutrola code; ShareASale pays once. The full comparison of recurring vs first-payment structures.
- No minimum payout. ShareASale requires $50 before you receive payment; Nutrola pays out monthly and small balances roll into the next month.
- Works on any platform. Cronometer's ShareASale link works on links and websites. Nutrola's code is typed in the app, so it works from Instagram bio, TikTok caption, YouTube description, pinned comment or a story; there is no link to break or cookie to miss.
- You are given the product. Cronometer's Partner path requires you to use the app already. Nutrola sets your account up with Premium first, so you can show the scan working properly without committing to a subscription.
- Works with paid deals. Cronometer's paths do not mention a paid fee for content. Nutrola's offers can include a fee for your reels or files, with the code on top, decided per creator and put in writing before you film.
What does the same subscriber base pay under each program?
Suppose 15 followers subscribe yearly on Cronometer through your link and 15 subscribe to Nutrola through your code. This uses each program's own figures; it is arithmetic, not a forecast. Cronometer's ShareASale listing does not state whether a renewal inside the cookie window is paid, so the renewal rows below use $0 for Cronometer as the conservative reading, not a confirmed rate.
| Scenario | Cronometer (ShareASale) | Nutrola code |
|---|---|---|
| Referrals convert, first payment only | 15 x ($0.10 + $21) = $316.50 | 15 x $8 = $120 |
| One year later, 1 in 3 yearly subscribers renew | $0 (not stated whether a renewal is paid; shown as $0 here) | 5 x $8 = $40 |
| Two years in, 1 in 2 yearly subscribers are still paying | $0 (same caveat) | 7-8 x $8 = $56-64 |
The figures in the tables are arithmetic on stated assumptions, not earnings claims. What a program pays you depends on your audience, your content and the app's own prices in your followers' countries.
Which should you choose?
- Choose Cronometer Partner if you already use and love the app and want to negotiate a custom deal.
- Choose Cronometer ShareASale if you want an affiliate link you can put on a website and want a large one-time payout; the 365-day cookie means a follower who clicks but does not buy for months still counts.
- Choose the Nutrola code if you want to be paid for as long as subscribers renew, you do not want a $50 payout minimum, you post on social platforms instead of a website, you want a paid deal for your content as well as a code, or you want Premium access to the app before filming.
- Do not stack two trackers without asking both first. Programs differ on exclusivity, and your audience will not thank you for two codes. Disclose every paid partnership as your platform and country require.

Frequently asked questions
Does Cronometer have a creator program?
Cronometer has two paths. The first is a Partner form on their blog where you describe your audience and what partnership looks like; they state they only collaborate with people who genuinely use and love Cronometer and do not publish rates. The second is a ShareASale affiliate program with published terms: $0.10 per lead plus 35% of a Gold sale (roughly $21 on a yearly plan), a 365-day cookie and a $50 minimum payout, paid monthly Net-20, as of September 2026.
Which Cronometer path should a creator take?
If you use and love Cronometer and want to negotiate terms, apply through the Partner form. If you want published terms and are willing to promote via affiliate link or code, use ShareASale. The two programs have different requirements and different rates; check both pages before deciding.
How does Cronometer's commission compare to Nutrola?
Cronometer's ShareASale listing pays $0.10 per lead plus 35% of a Gold sale, roughly $21 on the $59.99 yearly plan, a larger one-time amount than Nutrola's $8.00 on a first yearly payment. Nutrola then pays that same 20% again on every renewal, with no cap, while whether Cronometer's terms pay again on a renewal inside the cookie window is not stated. Over several years of renewals, Nutrola's total can pass Cronometer's one-time amount; a single first payment favors Cronometer.
