It's the most complete partnership platform (affiliate, influencer, B2B, mobile under one roof), has a real agency partner program, and the cross-client reporting is what you'll want when a client asks \"why this partner.\" Entry is ~$30/mo or 2.5% of tracked revenue, but realistically it prices like an enterprise tool once you're at scale. Pick it when clients are big enough to fund it. ([impact.com](https://impact.com/partnerships/the-lowdown-on-affiliate-networks-vs-saas-platforms-podcast/), [pricing comparison](https://getreditus.com/blog/top-impact-alternatives))\n\n**2. Everflow** - My pick if your agency is performance/media-led rather than retail-led. 100% server-to-server tracking, strong fraud controls, downstream revenue attribution, and it's explicitly built for agencies and ad networks running many advertisers. ~$750/mo with a 6-month commitment, and it does expect technical chops - budget for dev hours or an AM.
