Which one is for you
Pick Affise if
- Fits if you run an affiliate network or media-buying operation with real volume
- Makes sense if you can sign a contract to get the lower price
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you're small: $499 a month is the floor and $625 without a contract
- Tight if you pass 7,000 conversions or 50 offers on Beginner
- Watch out: the contract length isn't stated, and overage prices aren't listed
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as only a 14-day trial is shown
Pick Perform[cb] if
- Fits if you want a vendor to run acquisition for you and pay only on results
- Works for agencies that want a partner side as well as an advertiser side
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want self-serve software, as this is a managed service
- Not for you if you need a price first, as none is published
- Watch out: figures like 52.4% average ROAS growth are the company's own claims
- Too light on detail for anyone comparing tools, with no integrations or plans listed

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
