    Chose Impact
    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 …

    Chose PartnerStack
    PartnerStack provides a faster interface and seems to be less confusing to use. In turn, this saves us time, especially if we just need to get a quick snapshot of the programs we're a part of and their overall health. Reporting is good for the metrics we need, but I would love …

    The main thing I faced when using another product other than PartnerStack was it, my application was getting either auto rejected instantly or it was getting rejected after few hours of sending the application. The interface of this website is more easier to use and it is …

    Impact
    Any publisher looking to monetize their blogs would be a great fit. The size of the publisher probably doesn't matter. They have a wide selection of advertisers and publishers can sign up for free. Advertisers that are looking for great partners for their affiliate programs would be good fits. One of the benefits is that Impact really focuses on recruiting high-quality publishers.

    Cons
    Impact
    • User interface could be improved a little, as it is a quite difficult task to find the content or links
    • Approval from the advertisers sometimes takes a huge amount of time. If they can somehow reduce the response time, it will be great
    • New affiliates might find the onboarding process a little difficult

    • They don't provide any html or iframe script which most of the similar websites provide which I can easily add into my website
    • They have very few programs into their network when compared to other similar networks. It would be great if they could add more programs into their network.
    • Wish it had a filter for the marketplace? There are programs which pays per lead where as some pays per sale. And some pays % and some pays $.
    • About a month ago my account was suspended and I contacted them about it and was told that due to some violations of their "Terms of Service", it was suspended. And I tried contacting them but after that email they just ignored my email. No reply after even 5 - 6 emails so I stopped emails also. Few days ago I received mail from them saying my account was mistakenly suspended in a effort to remove fraudulent activity from their network & now I have started working again with them. After I got access to my account again, all of the programs I had joined were removed from my account and now I have to apply to every program once again. It would be great if they could do something from their end and join me to all those programs from their end easily rather then me applying to everyone once again.

    Usability
    Impact
    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
    Impact
    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.

    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

    PartnerStack provides a faster interface and seems to be less confusing to use. In turn, this saves us time, especially if we just need to get a quick snapshot of the programs we're a part of and their overall health. Reporting is good for the metrics we need, but I would love more advanced reporting at some point and to see where we send the most traffic from - social, website, etc.
