What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

Its tools include PartnerIQ, which it describes as proprietary partnership intelligence feeding AI agents, plus modules for growth, insight, protection and campaign management. It also runs a rewards platform for brand offers.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Optimise, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You set up accounts and programs before it does anything, so there is a learning curve.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No prices or plans are published, so cost is unconfirmed. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan or trial is listed, so you pay before you can try it. |
| Features | C | Partner intelligence, growth and insight modules, fraud protection and a control centre. The AI agent features are described only in general terms. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You set up accounts and programs before it does anything, so there is a learning curve. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, and the listing names no integrations. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Optimise is for
- Fits if you are a large advertiser wanting a managed partnership program
- Works for brands operating in several regions
Who it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Larger brands that want software plus a managed local team
- Agencies running partnership programs for clients
- Partners in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, the UK and US markets
Worth knowing
- No prices or plans are published on the pages we read, so cost is unconfirmed.
- The company says it works with over 800 advertisers, which points to a managed, sales-led service rather than self-serve.
- The AI agent features are described only in general terms on the homepage.

Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
3/89
Other affiliate and referral tools it is graded above
Optimise's GPA of 1.6 is higher than 3 of the 89 other affiliate and referral tools we grade, and level with 18.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
