## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-19 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd rank them, assuming you're an agency managing affiliate/partner programs *on behalf of clients* (so multi-tenancy, white-labeling, and per-client billing matter as much as the tracking itself).
> 
> **1. impact.com** - The default answer for enterprise and mid-market client work. Broadest partner type coverage (affiliates, influencers, B2B referral, commerce content), contract-level commission logic, and it's the platform most big brands will already expect you to work in. It has a formal agency partner program, so you can get client accounts provisioned under you. Downside: expensive, and the UI has a real learning curve - budget onboarding time per client.
> 
> **2. Everflow** - My pick for performance agencies and anyone running media buying alongside affiliates. Dimensional analytics (slice by placement, sub-ID, creative) is genuinely better than most competitors, multi-channel attribution is solid, and pricing is far more reasonable than impact. Good middle ground if impact.com is overkill but Tapfiliate is too thin.
> 
> **3. PartnerStack** - Only if your clients are B2B SaaS. It's purpose-built for reseller tiers, pipeline-attributed payouts, and has its own partner marke
