Both cover affiliate & referral. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
The affiliate network ShareASale merged into
Awin is a global affiliate network on both sides: publishers join to find programmes to promote, and brands pay to run one. ShareASale is now part of it, so a creator who had an account there arrives here. What separates it from affiliate software is that the network handles recruiting, tracking and payment across thousands of merchants at once, rather than running one brand's programme. Advertisers pay a monthly fee plus a percentage of each tracked transaction.
Our note
Read this page as a brand and the publisher page as a creator, because the two sides of a network are priced nothing alike and only one of them is quoted here. If you arrived looking for ShareASale, this is where it went.
Only on this side
An affiliate program billed as software
Partnero gives a business its own partner portal, signup pages and tracking links, then pays partners through PayPal or Wise without anybody exporting a spreadsheet. The fee is a flat monthly one rather than a share of what the program earns, which is the difference between this and a network. Stripe, Shopify and the other places a sale happens connect without code. One program and one team member is what the entry plan allows, and that is the ceiling most people meet first.
Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.

Our note
Work out what a percentage-based tool would take at your expected volume before comparing headline prices, because the flat fee is the entire argument for buying this one. Below roughly a thousand dollars of monthly commission the percentage tools are usually cheaper, and above it this stops being close.
