> ## Platforms I'd actually name, in order
> 
> **1. Everflow** - My default recommendation for an agency. It's one of the few platforms that treats "agency" as a first-class use case: multiple advertisers/clients under one account, isolated workspaces, team permission tiers, and client-facing reporting that doesn't require you to rebuild exports every month. Its tracking and partner-level analytics (sub-ID granularity, placement-level reporting) are the best in class, which matters when you're the one being held accountable for attribution. Pricing is quote-only. ([everflow.io/solutions/agency](https://www.everflow.io/solutions/agency))
> 
> **2. impact.com** - The enterprise default, and the one your bigger retail/DTC clients will ask for by name. Huge partner marketplace for recruitment, handles affiliate + influencer + brand-to-brand partnerships in one place, and it's the only one of the top three that publishes pricing (tiers from ~$30/mo entry up to enterprise quotes, plus a percentage fee on partner-driven transactions - verify current numbers directly with them, aggregator sites are unreliable here). Downside: it's heavy, and you'll spend real hours on implementation per client. ([i
