> 
> **1. impact.com** - The default recommendation if your clients are mid-market to enterprise retail/DTC or global B2B. It's the broadest suite (affiliates, creators, referrals, B2B partners, mobile) with real governance - contracts, automated payouts across currencies, and per-client workspaces. It's also the one most in-house teams already use, so you inherit programs instead of migrating them. Downside: it assumes you have dedicated partnerships headcount, and it's the priciest of the group.
