User Testimonials
	Pepperjam Ascend (discontinued)	Rapid Affiliates
Likelihood to Recommend	Discontinued Products For our business, affiliate marketing is by far the lowest ROI marketing channel. If you're looking to get products, brands, and offers listed on coupon sites, Pepperjam Ascend is a great tool. If you're looking to engage with influencers or drive sales without giving away margin, Pepperjam Ascend is likely not for you.

Pros	Discontinued Products Lots of coupon sites. Enables different tiers of commissions. Can blast out newsletters to your network. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	PureSoft Labs OU No answers on this topic
Cons	Discontinued Products The dashboard/platform is the furthest thing from user-friendly. It looks like a high school student with zero experience designed it in excel and hoped for the best with the results. Reports are hit and miss. They may load, they may not! It's ridiculous, in my opinion. No mobile options whatsoever, everything has to be desktop. It's 2022, they need to catch up! Verified User Read full review	PureSoft Labs OU No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Discontinued Products Pepperjam Ascend's user interface is way behind these other platforms. It's not intuitive nor is it easy to create custom reports and engage with your publishers. We have been stuck with Pepperjam and many other affiliate networks have a very similar layout without much upside.

Return on Investment	Discontinued Products I was hitting anywhere from $130 - $450 per month in commission payout before Pepperjam Ascend. Now with Pepperjam Ascend, I maybe get $40! I am still waiting on payouts from January. Verified User Read full review	PureSoft Labs OU No answers on this topic
