That changes the calculus: you care about multi-tenancy, per-client permissioning, white-labeled reporting, and licensing that doesn't charge you per program.\n\n**1. Everflow** - My default recommendation for a performance agency. Its multi-tenant architecture is genuinely built for running many sub-accounts under one roof, with rigid permissioning and unified reporting across clients. It's explicitly positioned for networks and agencies (their intake form literally asks whether you're a Brand, Network, Agency, or Publisher). Unlimited partners, channels, and conversions, plus placement-level reporting and media-buying attribution. Entry is around $750/mo, often with a 6-month commitment, and their Shopify listing shows $1,495/mo plus a $500 setup fee - so it's a real line item, but it scales as a backend engine you can resell.\n\n**2. impact.com** - The one to use when a client is an enterprise consumer brand with influencers, publishers, and affiliates all in one program.
