About the New Relic Affiliate Program

The New Relic Affiliate Program is designed for application development firms, systems integrators, VAR’s, Rails user groups, application hosting services and any other organization or individual with contacts within the Rails community. Once approved and enrolled in the program, the affiliate can promote RPM to their customers or members. Affiliates are also entitled to provide RPM Gold level subscriptions for limited periods to assist clients with application issues. Affiliates are paid a fee equal to a portion of the subscription fees paid to New Relic by those who become subscribers as a result of the affiliate’s participation.
