The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/affiliate-software ## Keep it, 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. - You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Every click and sale traced back to the right partner. - You could not: A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: An API that other software can build on. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. **Tags:** Affiliate tracking, Reports, Public API ## Alternatives - [Skimlinks](https://toolgpa.com/tools/skimlinks): Affiliate link monetization for publishers, with paid merchant tiers.
