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.
Impact.com
The platform many brand programmes run on
Impact.com is the platform a large share of brand affiliate and partnership programmes are run on, which means creators meet it from the other side: it is where the link, the terms and the payout live. Running a programme on it covers recruitment, contracts, tracking and paying partners in one place. The starter tier is priced for a single storefront rather than for an enterprise, which is newer than the platform's reputation suggests. Anybody who has been paid by a big brand's affiliate programme has probably been paid through it.

Lasso
Affiliate links that stay alive on a WordPress site
Lasso manages the affiliate links inside a publisher's own content: display boxes and comparison tables, plus monitoring that flags a link once the product goes out of stock or the page it pointed at disappears. It pulls performance in from the networks so earnings sit beside the posts that made them. Sites with hundreds of links are where it pays. A single review post does not need this.
Our note
Check whether the promotion is still running before paying the standing price, and check the renewal rate before treating a discounted first year as the cost. The free plan is the sensible starting point for a site whose affiliate income has not yet paid for a subscription.
