Considered Both Products
GrowSurf
Chose GrowSurf
We selected GrowSurf because of their pricing and ROI calculator present on their website today. It made the decision clear and easy for our finance and business stakeholders. Overall, the tool is great. It is easy to use, manage and train others on. It's a great starting point …
Chose GrowSurf
I have used both PartnerStack and GrowSurf, and GrowSurf has been easier to implement. The UX and design are better to use, and there are better incentives in place for using GrowSurf for partners and affiliate management. Ultimately both are good solutions for handling …
Chose GrowSurf
Vyper is a great software no doubt but lacks support to a certain extent, we switched to GrowSurf as it provides faster support for integration as well as day-to-day concerns also pricing is comparatively similar to that of VYPER. It's great to have cool features but support is …
Chose GrowSurf
GrowSurf was recommended to us by a friend and we were impressed after the free trial so we decided to go with it. The price was right and it offered what we needed so we didn't feel the need to try out other programs before deciding to go with GrowSurf.
Chose GrowSurf
I used KingSumo before but they don't have enough options to give coupons or downloads, it was very basic compared to GrowSurf.

Chose PartnerStack
Google Drive, HubSpot CRM, Slack and Salesforce CMS
Chose PartnerStack
PartnerStack provides a faster interface and seems to be less confusing to use. In turn, this saves us time, especially if we just need to get a quick snapshot of the programs we're a part of and their overall health. Reporting is good for the metrics we need, but I would love …
Chose PartnerStack
It is truly sensible in cost and has an engaging point of interaction also. Subsequently, I will prescribe it to that multitude of organizations who are looking for one stage to cooperate as accomplices.
Chose PartnerStack
It does the partnership thing better without the extra bulk and cost of a dedicated CRM. The PartnerStack function is unique within our existing tech stack. While other larger tools like SugarCRM, Salesforce, and SugarSell might do more overall, PartnerStack does its thing the …
Chose PartnerStack
The main thing I faced when using another product other than PartnerStack was it, my application was getting either auto rejected instantly or it was getting rejected after few hours of sending the application. The interface of this website is more easier to use and it is …
Chose PartnerStack
PartnerStack is better than App Direct, it's more flexible to use and the team is more receptive. We have also used AppBind and we really like this as we can manage our clients' subscriptions for them ourselves, while they just need to have a credit card on file.
Chose PartnerStack
PartnerStack makes everything very simple. It's mainly the ease of having everything under one roof and being able to search through the marketplace of opportunities every now and again to see if any further affiliate opportunities take our fancy and hence can generate more …

Cons
  • A team dashboard will be a great feature to have with more levels of access.
  • Filter and parameters can be added into dashboard.
  • Template UI customization can be enhanced.

  • They don't provide any html or iframe script which most of the similar websites provide which I can easily add into my website
  • They have very few programs into their network when compared to other similar networks. It would be great if they could add more programs into their network.
  • Wish it had a filter for the marketplace? There are programs which pays per lead where as some pays per sale. And some pays % and some pays $.
  • About a month ago my account was suspended and I contacted them about it and was told that due to some violations of their "Terms of Service", it was suspended. And I tried contacting them but after that email they just ignored my email. No reply after even 5 - 6 emails so I stopped emails also. Few days ago I received mail from them saying my account was mistakenly suspended in a effort to remove fraudulent activity from their network & now I have started working again with them. After I got access to my account again, all of the programs I had joined were removed from my account and now I have to apply to every program once again. It would be great if they could do something from their end and join me to all those programs from their end easily rather then me applying to everyone once again.

PartnerStack provides a faster interface and seems to be less confusing to use. In turn, this saves us time, especially if we just need to get a quick snapshot of the programs we're a part of and their overall health. Reporting is good for the metrics we need, but I would love more advanced reporting at some point and to see where we send the most traffic from - social, website, etc.
