    Both help you manage partnership and referral programs. The biggest challenge is that programs can switch between the two and it can make it difficult to update across different products. Fortunately, Impact, etc are good at notifying you ahead of time if a program is moving or …

    First promoter has been a phenomenal affiliate platform to use. It has everything I need from a reporting perspective. It has everything I need from a payout perspective. It has all the links, tips, and tools I need for promoting products. Overall it is a far better tool to use

    Impact is quite good for publishers who wants to run global campaigns with ease. Others have some quite nice feature sets but they are good for regional publishers.

    Everflow had ok tracking but didn't have a great payment process and their marketplace was geared towards larger marketing conglomerates that we would have had to sign other contracts with. CJ is very comparable in terms of features their marketplace is bigger but the quality …

    Impact is the best affiliate platform on the market. Everflow and Tapfiliate are very good for their pricing structure but they don't have the marketplace Impact does.

    I use Impact because I can use ESPN+. Since my website is about Combat Sports, it just makes sense.

    Impact is a far more fleshed-out version of Cake, with better partner recruitment capabilities and better reporting.

    Any publisher looking to monetize their blogs would be a great fit. The size of the publisher probably doesn't matter. They have a wide selection of advertisers and publishers can sign up for free. Advertisers that are looking for great partners for their affiliate programs would be good fits. One of the benefits is that Impact really focuses on recruiting high-quality publishers.

    Cons
    Impact
    • User interface could be improved a little, as it is a quite difficult task to find the content or links
    • Approval from the advertisers sometimes takes a huge amount of time. If they can somehow reduce the response time, it will be great
    • New affiliates might find the onboarding process a little difficult

    Usability
    Impact
    Impact has had a major impact on our business. It is pretty easy to use if you don't have multiple accounts with them, so be sure you keep things streamlined. Otherwise, it can be confusing if you have to bounce between different accounts you've applied to. While they are managed under a single login, they can be difficult to distinguish between when trying to see how successful your campaigns are.

    Support Rating
    Impact
    We've been reaching out requesting support for two months and no one has responded. They completely ghosted us. We've emailed the original sales rep, our account manager, our sales rep and account manager's bosses, and others. Still no response, though I can see the emails have been opened multiple times. I've never experienced worse support.
