## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-12 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## If you're an agency running client programs, here's how I'd rank them
> 
> **1. impact.com** - The default answer for mid-market and up. 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.

> 
> **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.

> **3.
