## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-22 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Agency" splits into two different jobs here, so here's both - but the ranking order below is for the common case: an agency managing affiliate/partner programs *for brand clients*.
> 
> **1. impact.com** - the default recommendation for agencies with retail/DTC and enterprise clients. Broadest partner marketplace, handles affiliates + creators + referrals + brand-to-brand in one place, and it's the only major platform publishing real prices: ~$30/mo Starter, $500 Essentials, $2,500 Pro, Enterprise by quote, plus ~2.5% on partner-driven sales. Downside is that the good multi-client reporting tends to sit in higher tiers. It also has a formal agency partner program, so you can get referral economics and certified-agency status.
> 
> **2. Everflow** - the best pick if you're running many clients or want to operate your own network under your brand. Genuinely multi-tenant: deep sub-account isolation, tight permissioning, unified cross-client reporting, strong dimensional analytics and multi-channel attribution (affiliate plus paid media in one view). Entry pricing around $750/mo, mostly custom quotes now. This is the "backend engine" option.
> 
> **3. PartnerStack** - the one I'd name for B2B/Saa

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
