OpenArt pays 20% for one year on referred subscriptions, with a 30-day cookie and worldwide acceptance. The rate sits below the AI video programs, which reflects a lower-priced product rather than a worse deal.
What you're promoting
OpenArt is AI image generation with a creator-workflow layer on top: consistent characters, story and comic generation, model training on your own images, and a large library of community models. It's aimed at people making a series of images rather than one-off prompts.
Subscriptions are credit-based and priced well below the video tools, so plan on volume rather than large individual commissions.
The terms
Twenty percent per payment for twelve months, then it stops. The 30-day cookie is short and it's the weak point: image tools get compared side by side over weeks, and a month often isn't enough to catch the decision.
That pushes you toward content that converts in the session. Tutorials where the reader follows along and needs an account to continue work far better here than comparison pages people bookmark.
The program is also listed on FlexOffers if you'd rather consolidate reporting, alongside OpenArt's own affiliate portal.
Who converts
Comic and webtoon creators, indie game developers making assets, print-on-demand sellers, and anyone needing the same character across many images. Character consistency is the feature that closes people, because it's the thing most generators still do badly.
Casual "make me a cool picture" traffic doesn't convert. Those readers use free tiers indefinitely and never subscribe, and they're most of what a generic AI art post attracts.

Varies
Midjourney, the obvious comparison, runs no affiliate program at all, which is the familiar asymmetry: every "Midjourney alternative" search is monetisable on one side only. OpenArt is a credible answer to it.
Getting approved
Apply through affiliate.openart.ai or via FlexOffers. Approval is open and there's no follower requirement. Note there's a separate Creative Partner Program for artists, which is a different thing from the affiliate program.
Verdict
A reasonable volume program in a category where the biggest name pays nothing at all. The 30-day cookie is the constraint, so write tutorials that convert on the visit and target creators with a repeat-use case rather than casual image traffic.
What does OpenArt pay?
20% per payment for twelve months, then it stops. Subscriptions are credit-based and priced below the AI video tools, so plan on volume.
How long is the cookie?
30 days, which is short. Image tools get compared over weeks, so write tutorials that convert in the session rather than comparison pages people bookmark.
Which feature actually sells it?
Character consistency across many images. It is the thing most generators still do badly, and it closes comic creators, game developers and print-on-demand sellers.
Is there more than one program?
Yes. The affiliate program is separate from the Creative Partner Program for artists. OpenArt is also carried on FlexOffers if you prefer consolidated reporting.
