Perform[cb] sells performance-based customer acquisition. It runs campaigns across affiliates, publishers and other digital channels, and brands pay for outcomes such as leads, sales, app installs or phone calls. It also offers a partner side for publishers and media buyers, plus a login for reporting. - **Category:** Affiliate & Referral Software - **Made by:** Perform[cb], LLC - **Website:** https://www.performcb.com - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want self-serve software, as this is a managed service. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing Perform[cb]'s current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Outcome-based buying:** Campaigns run on a cost-per-lead, cost-per-sale, cost-per-install, cost-per-engagement or pay-per-call basis, as listed under the Web, Mobile Apps and Calls tabs. - **Works beside existing channels:** The Outcome Engine is described as adding new acquisition alongside the agencies and partners a brand already uses, rather than replacing them. - **Agency program:** Agencies can use it to run performance campaigns for several client brands at once, with campaign management handled by Perform[cb]. - **Partner side for publishers:** Affiliates, publishers and media buyers can join to run campaigns for brands. The site lists no activation fees, expedited payments and dedicated partner managers. - **Compliance and brand safety:** The site describes 24/7 compliance monitoring on its patented system and brand-safety controls over where traffic comes from. - **Analytics and reporting:** Built-in dynamic reporting shows campaign performance in one place, and down-funnel quality data is used to tune traffic. ## Good for - Brands that want to pay per lead, sale, install or call - Agencies adding performance campaigns for clients - Publishers and media buyers looking for brand campaigns ## Worth knowing - No pricing is published; the site points visitors to Get Started and a sales conversation. - It is a managed service, not self-serve affiliate software you configure and run yourself. - Performance figures on the site, such as 52.4% average ROAS growth, are the company's own claims. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Perform[cb] sells customer acquisition on a pay-for-results basis, run for you as a managed service across partners. But no price is published, it is not software you run yourself, and its performance figures are the company's own claims. - **Value for money: C.** No pricing is published and visitors are sent to a sales conversation, so value sits in the middle by default. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan or trial is mentioned. You start by talking to sales. - **Features: C.** Outcome-based buying, an agency programme, compliance checks and reporting exist, but it is a managed service and not a tool for running your own program. - **Ease of use: C.** Set-up is through sales and the vendor's team, not a product you start using. No store rating is on record. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no integrations or apps listed. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/affiliate-software ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Perform[cb] you would be making phone numbers that change for each visitor so every call is traced to its source. 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. - You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Phone numbers that change for each visitor so every call is traced to its source. - You could not: Payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms. - You could not: Every click and sale traced back to the right partner.
