Best for monetising product links for publishers and creators

Who Sovrn Commerce is for
- Fits if you publish content with product links and want them monetised
- Works for creators who want a browser extension and phone app
Who Sovrn Commerce is not for
- Skip it if you want to see the revenue split first, because none is published
- Watch out: Commerce API access goes through the sales team
- Not for you if you want a free start, as none is described
- Too light for running your own affiliate program
Why Sovrn Commerce gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo fees, revenue share or plans are published, so cost is unconfirmed.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan or trial is listed on the pages we read.
- CFeaturesLink optimisation, price comparisons, unified reporting, creator tools and APIs. It is one product inside Sovrn, which sells other things separately.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You set up accounts and programs before it does anything, so there is a learning curve.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, a browser extension and an iPhone app. The listing names no integrations.

Keep Sovrn Commerce, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Sovrn Commerce you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 45 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
- Every click and sale traced back to the right partner.
- A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. Sovrn Commerce’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.
