## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-29 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Short version: pick based on what your clients are - DTC/ecommerce, B2B SaaS, or media-buying/lead gen - and on whether you need a white-label multi-program setup or access to a publisher network. Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd shortlist them.
> 
> **1. impact.com** - The default for mid-market and enterprise client work. Handles affiliate, influencer, and referral partnerships in one place, has a real agency partner program, and a marketplace of ~90k publishers so you're not cold-recruiting from zero. Published tiers run Starter ~$30/mo, Essentials ~$500, Pro ~$2,500, plus Enterprise - with transaction/commission fees layered on top (reports cite ~2.5-3%). Downside: the fee stacking gets expensive, and onboarding is not a one-afternoon job.
> 
> **2. Everflow** - My pick for performance/media-buying agencies and anyone doing multi-channel attribution. Genuinely white-label partner portals (branded signup pages, dashboards, legal forms) and excellent "dimensional" reporting for slicing by sub-ID, placement, geo. Entry is around $750/mo on a 6-month commitment per third-party reviews, usage-priced above that.
> 
> **3. PartnerStack** - Only if your clients are B2B SaaS.
