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.

- Covers brand deals & sponsorships
Partnero
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.
