Affiliate networks
Awin
Affiliate platform connecting advertisers and publishers. Awin confirms that the ShareASale platform closed on 6 October 2025. Existing publishers and merchants should follow the current upgrade checklist for links and integrations rather than treat ShareASale as a separate operating network.
A unified partnership platform covering affiliate, creator, referral and customer advocacy programmes. Its wider partnership approach is relevant to teams that want to recruit different partner types, organise contracts and rewards, and review performance from one working environment.
An established affiliate network serving global advertisers, publishers and commerce-content partners. It is a practical option to examine when a programme needs international reach, established publisher relationships and familiar workflows for tracking, reporting and commission operations.
Partnership management technology for recruiting, tracking, paying and optimising commerce partners. It is aimed especially at larger brands that need controlled programme operations, configurable partner journeys and reporting across teams, markets or business units.
A partner ecosystem platform focused on affiliate, referral and reseller programmes for B2B software companies. It is worth considering when recurring subscriptions, partner onboarding and channel-specific rewards form part of a broader software growth strategy.
A performance marketing network with long-standing coverage across Europe and additional international markets. It may be useful for brands seeking regional knowledge, publisher relationships and programme support that can be adapted to several European audiences.
A self-service website monetisation service using display advertising and access to Google advertiser demand. It offers an accessible starting point for eligible site owners, although placement quality, page speed, audience geography and content value still shape the eventual revenue.
An advertising management platform for controlling inventory, direct deals, programmatic demand and reporting. It is designed for publishers that need more operational control over how advertising space is packaged, delivered, prioritised and measured.
A mobile app monetisation platform supporting native, banner, interstitial, rewarded and video advertising formats. Developers should compare formats according to the app experience, retention and user value rather than simply trying to maximise the number of impressions.
Managed advertising, audience data and monetisation technology for established digital publishers. It is most relevant to qualifying publishers who want specialist support with advertising operations while continuing to focus their time on content, audience growth and product development.
Full-service advertising management and creator-business support for qualifying independent publishers. It can be considered by established content businesses seeking managed monetisation, technical guidance and commercial support around a sizeable audience.
A campaign platform covering paid search, Shopping, video, app and display advertising across Google properties and eligible partner inventory. It can address demand capture as well as wider discovery, provided campaign objectives, conversion measurement and landing pages are properly prepared.
Search and audience advertising across Microsoft properties and its wider advertising network. It gives advertisers another route to search demand and professional or consumer audiences, and is best assessed with the same disciplined conversion and profitability checks used for any paid channel.
Campaign management for Facebook, Instagram and eligible placements across Meta technologies. The platform is commonly evaluated for visual discovery, retargeting and audience-led acquisition, with creative quality and repeated testing playing a major role in performance.
Performance advertising and content-recommendation technology operating across open-web publisher environments. Advertisers can use it to reach readers beyond major social and search platforms, while publishers can examine it as part of their content discovery and revenue mix.
An omnichannel advertising platform for the open internet, formed from the combined Teads and Outbrain businesses. It connects advertisers with premium media across branding and performance objectives while providing monetisation technology to participating publishers.
A partner marketing platform for tracking, attribution, partner management and performance reporting. It is aimed at teams that need to organise offers and relationships while keeping a close operational view of events, traffic quality and approved outcomes.
Performance marketing software supporting partner tracking, automation, analytics and payout workflows. It can be examined by networks, agencies and advertisers that need a dedicated operating layer for multiple offers, traffic sources and partner accounts.
Campaign tracking, attribution and optimisation software for paid-traffic and performance-marketing teams. It is particularly relevant where campaigns span several traffic sources, landing pages and offers and require rapid comparison through consistent reporting.
Amazon’s affiliate programme allows eligible creators and publishers to earn commission from qualifying purchases and programmes. Its usefulness depends on the relevant country programme, product availability, audience buying intent and the current operating agreement.
YouTube’s monetisation programme covers eligible advertising revenue, fan-funding features, Shopping and Premium revenue. Creators still need a clear editorial promise and a loyal audience, because eligibility alone does not guarantee stable or meaningful income.
Audience, acquisition and conversion measurement for websites and apps. It can help teams understand journeys and campaign outcomes, but useful analysis depends on a deliberate event plan, sound consent handling and careful interpretation rather than a large collection of reports.
A web analytics platform available as a cloud service or self-hosted infrastructure. It appeals to organisations seeking greater control over deployment and data management, while still requiring a properly designed measurement plan and an implementation suited to local rules.
A product analytics suite bringing together events, funnels, session replay, experiments and wider data tooling. It is most useful when product teams have clear questions about activation, retention and feature use and can turn observed behaviour into practical improvements.

COMPARISON WORKSHEET
Five checks before you shortlist a platform.
Use the same questions for every provider. Keep a record of the answer, the official source and the test you performed; a feature list alone does not show whether the service fits your programme.
01
Define the job
Which approved business outcome should this service support? Write the payable action, target audience and markets before comparing vendors.
02
Check partner fit
Can you reach the relevant publishers, creators or customers? Ask for evidence of active supply in your market, not a global logo count.
03
Model the full cost
Add subscriptions, setup, commissions, minimum commitments, staff time and payment fees. Compare against approved contribution.
04
Test measurement
Reproduce a conversion, cancellation and duplicate event. Confirm consent handling, attribution rules, exports and the record used to settle disputes.
05
Run a limited pilot
Set a start date, owner, success threshold and stop rule. Review support quality and partner activation alongside revenue.
CHOOSE BY OBJECTIVE
Which tools belong on your shortlist?
A platform category is a starting point. The right shortlist depends on the outcome, the proof you can collect and the team that will operate the service.
01
Launch a brand programme
Begin with partner management or an affiliate network. Confirm active partners in your market, commission rules, conversion validation and the work needed to support partners after onboarding.
02
Monetise an editorial audience
Compare relevant affiliate offers with advertising, direct sponsorship and subscriptions. Model net revenue per qualified visit, reader trust, page speed and the effort needed to keep recommendations current.
03
Improve an online store
Check product feeds, checkout conversion, consent-aware measurement and order data before adding channels. Reconcile approved sales, returns, platform fees and contribution margin in one test period.
04
Grow a mobile app
Separate acquisition from in-app monetisation. Test SDK events, attribution windows, consent choices, retention by cohort and the effect of ad formats on the user experience.
05
Develop B2B partnerships
Define a qualified lead and the hand-off to sales. Compare CRM integration, long attribution windows, duplicate handling, partner access to status and payment after lead acceptance.
06
Enter a new country
Verify language, currency, payment methods, product availability and local partner supply. Run a small pilot with a localised landing page and explicit customer-service ownership.
CATEGORY DECISIONS
What to compare in each category
Use these questions before choosing a provider. The same category can cover very different operating models; inspect the work your team must actually perform.
