Ambassador Referral Marketing Platform (discontinued) vs IZEA

Likelihood to Recommend

Should be used by organizations to promote business and bring in new customers, particularly the ones with a bigger customer base. It may or may not be used by small businesses as the data is not too much to store, however, I recommend using it anyway as it will save time and, in turn, let you do more for your business.

I think it's a great option for agencies or brands when they need an affordable solution for identifying influencers. If a company or agency has more money, I'd recommend a platform that is more user-friendly and is similar to the way MuckRack actively updates and improves their platform. IZEA could use a little of attention on improvements.

The interface functionality isn't as smooth as it could be.
They don't have every influencer in their system and I think they should actively update this.

It is very user friendly, all options and features are easily accessible. Support material is readily available to help out with general queries or frequently asked questions. The software's customer-facing end does not require any special training or skills to use it to its full capacity. In short, it is easy and good looking.

Alternatives Considered

They both offer about the same in terms of end goal and purpose of use and scenarios. However, Ambassador does way better in terms of simplifying the syntax and makes offer a little bit more of control by adding the concepts of hosts, mappings while staying away from a hard to read single file configuration.

We've taken a look at many other options like Tap Influence, but couldn't justify spending over $10,000 a year when that's a cost as an agency that we have to eat. We needed a more affordable solution. That said, Tap Influence is definitely better, easier to use, and has higher quality influencers.
