Both help you manage partnership and referral programs. The biggest challenge is that programs can switch between the two and it can make it difficult to update across different products. Fortunately, Impact, etc are good at notifying you ahead of time if a program is moving or …

I found Impact much better than Partnerstack in many ways like in customer support, easy to use interface, easy to set up, meets customer requirements.

First promoter has been a phenomenal affiliate platform to use. It has everything I need from a reporting perspective. It has everything I need from a payout perspective. It has all the links, tips, and tools I need for promoting products. Overall it is a far better tool to use
Chose Impact
Impact is quite good for publishers who wants to run global campaigns with ease. Others have some quite nice feature sets but they are good for regional publishers.

Everflow had ok tracking but didn't have a great payment process and their marketplace was geared towards larger marketing conglomerates that we would have had to sign other contracts with. CJ is very comparable in terms of features their marketplace is bigger but the quality …
Chose Impact
Impact is the best affiliate platform on the market. Everflow and Tapfiliate are very good for their pricing structure but they don't have the marketplace Impact does.

I use Impact because I can use ESPN+. Since my website is about Combat Sports, it just makes sense.
Chose Impact
Impact is a far more fleshed-out version of Cake, with better partner recruitment capabilities and better reporting.

Impact is well-suited for those trying to upgrade their affiliate program and get more partners. It's one of the best solutions out there for advertisers looking to make a huge push. It's less appropriate for very small businesses that may not be able to afford the high monthly minimum of $1,000 or more.

No answers on this topic
  • User interface could be improved a little, as it is a quite difficult task to find the content or links

Usability

Impact has had a major impact on our business. It is pretty easy to use if you don't have multiple accounts with them, so be sure you keep things streamlined. Otherwise, it can be confusing if you have to bounce between different accounts you've applied to. While they are managed under a single login, they can be difficult to distinguish between when trying to see how successful your campaigns are.

Support Rating

We've been reaching out requesting support for two months and no one has responded. They completely ghosted us. We've emailed the original sales rep, our account manager, our sales rep and account manager's bosses, and others. Still no response, though I can see the emails have been opened multiple times. I've never experienced worse support.

Everflow had ok tracking but didn't have a great payment process and their marketplace was geared towards larger marketing conglomerates that we would have had to sign other contracts with. CJ is very comparable in terms of features their marketplace is bigger but the quality isn't always as high. The impact has the best tracking and SEM policy monitoring of the bunch.
