Tapfiliate, from the Amsterdam-based company of the same name, is software designed to allow users to create, track and grow an affiliate marketing program. Tapfiliate is for E-Commerce and SaaS, and the vendor states that it integrates seamlessly with a site in minutes allowing users to begin affiliate marketing to reward loyal brand ambassadors and boost sales.
CJ definitely has the largest pool of publishers and is well built out in terms of features. However, it does appear that they have a lot of dead weight in their pool which is something that their competitors claim they have solved.
They are pretty similar honestly we only use different options because there are different companies promoted on each one. the search feature in CJ affiliate is not as easy as Awin.
it is a great option for any company that is trying to keep track of multiple accounts that they are maintaining. It probably would not be the best option for smaller newer companies that do not have that many links that they need to keep track of. searching for new companies could be easier.
We've reviewed a lot of platforms and Tapfiliate was the best we could afford to track our affiliates. However, it is not user friendly and is frustrating to set up. The communication that can be automated is limited as well - we deal with clients in 5 different languages but can only send our communication in one.
We needed their help previously to take the decision to buy or not, but they didn't explain deeply the features and if they meet our needs or not. Instead of this, they forced us to create the account, and put our credit card in order to check the Demo. So their help was really nonexistent.
CJ definitely has the largest pool of publishers and is well built out in terms of features. However, it does appear that they have a lot of dead weight in their pool which is something that their competitors claim they have solved. We ultimately selected CJ because we had previous experience with the platform and wanted to tap into their affiliate pool.
