Chose Pepperjam Ascend (discontinued)
Pepperjam Ascend's user interface is way behind these other platforms. It's not intuitive nor is it easy to create custom reports and engage with your publishers. We have been stuck with Pepperjam and many other affiliate networks have a very similar layout without much upside.

There is no place where Pepperjam Ascend is well suited. The company needs to throw itself away and start over with all new everything!

We've reviewed a lot of platforms and Tapfiliate was the best we could afford to track our affiliates. However, it is not user friendly and is frustrating to set up. The communication that can be automated is limited as well - we deal with clients in 5 different languages but can only send our communication in one.

Cons
  • The dashboard/platform is the furthest thing from user-friendly. It looks like a high school student with zero experience designed it in excel and hoped for the best with the results.
  • Reports are hit and miss. They may load, they may not! It's ridiculous, in my opinion.
  • No mobile options whatsoever, everything has to be desktop. It's 2022, they need to catch up!

  • Trial policy, they force you to put your credit card in order to check their features.
  • Customer support, they don't explain deeply their features, they force you to check their demo.
  • Notifications, as they don't notify you before they charge you.

We needed their help previously to take the decision to buy or not, but they didn't explain deeply the features and if they meet our needs or not. Instead of this, they forced us to create the account, and put our credit card in order to check the Demo. So their help was really nonexistent.

Well, Tapfiliate is behind the other options, as they have the network features and Tapfiliate doesn't.
