Most vehicle-history affiliate programmes pay a percentage of a €25–40 report. That sounds generous until you look at what converts. Automano’s report is €7.90, the lowest-priced pan-European vehicle history report on the market, and the programme pays 40% of gross on every sale — €3.16 per report — on a 60-day last-touch cookie.

The honest maths against a €30 programme
A 25% commission on a €29.99 report pays €7.50 per sale. Ours pays €3.16. Per sale, theirs wins.
Per reader, the picture usually reverses. A buyer deciding between three used cars will pay €7.90 to screen one without thinking about it; asking the same person for €30–37 per car is a different decision, and most of them close the tab. The conversion gap between those two prices is, in our experience, larger than the commission gap.

Who this works for
- Used-car buying guides and comparison sites — the reader is already deciding; a €7.90 pre-screen is the natural next click.
- Import and cross-border content — German-car-to-Poland, Belgium-to-France, UK-import guides. National free registers stop at the border; that is exactly the case a paid report covers.
- Creators reviewing cars or explaining paperwork — a named discount code turns a mention into a trackable offer.
- Garages and inspection services — a pre-purchase VIN check before the physical inspection, earning on both.
What Automano actually sells (so you can describe it accurately)
A free, unlimited VIN decoder with no signup — specification, year, engine, manufacturer recalls. Then a €7.90 Essentiel report built on official registers: HistoVec (France), KBA records and Tachocheck (Germany), DVLA and MOT history (UK), RDW (Netherlands), CEPiK (Poland), DGT (Spain), NHTSA (US), plus EU safety recalls. It does not include insurance-claim damage diagrams or auction photographs; if your reader’s priority is hidden accident repair on an expensive car, say so and point them at a provider that has it.
Accurate descriptions convert better and refund less, and refunds come out of both our margins.
