Which one is for you

Pick impact.com if

  • Fits if you run a larger brand with partners across affiliate, creators and referrals
  • Makes sense if you can commit to a 12-month contract

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you outgrow Starter: Essentials is $500 a month and Pro $2,500
  • Watch out: every plan needs a 12-month contract, and a tier change needs a new 12-month addendum
  • Not for you if you're off the listed store platforms, as Starter works only with them
  • Tight if you want add-ons or setup help: add-ons cost extra and onboarding on upper tiers is $250 an hour

Pick ShopMy if

  • Fits if you are a creator recommending consumer products
  • Works for brands sending gifts and affiliate offers

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want published rates, as none are listed
  • Watch out: creators join by application
  • Not for you if you sell B2B, since it is built around consumer products
  • Watch out: its pages only render with JavaScript, so we read less of it

    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.
