Best for global partnership marketing run by a service team
Optimise is a partnership marketing company with tracking, fraud and insight modules and a rewards platform. It publishes no prices, and works with over 800 advertisers through a sales-led service.
Who Optimise is for
- Fits if you are a large advertiser wanting a managed partnership program
- Works for brands operating in several regions
Who Optimise is not for
- Skip it if you want a price, as none is published
- Not for you if you want self-serve, because it reads as a sales-led service
- Watch out: the AI agent features are described only in general terms
- Too light for small shops without a partnership team
Why Optimise gets a 1.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo prices or plans are published, so cost is unconfirmed.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan or trial is listed, so you pay before you can try it.
- CFeaturesPartner intelligence, growth and insight modules, fraud protection and a control centre. The AI agent features are described only in general terms.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You set up accounts and programs before it does anything, so there is a learning curve.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, and the listing names no integrations.

Keep Optimise, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Optimise you would be making payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 68 of the 89 other affiliate and referral tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms.
- Every click and sale traced back to the right partner.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Optimise’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
