What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“The industry giant for enterprise partnerships. Incredible automation, contract management, and influencer integrations, though pricing can be premium” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Affiliate · scale prompt · first choice

“and impact.com if you need a broader partnership platform with especially strong referral, affiliate, and creator-style tracking” GPT-5.4 mini · Referrals · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“A Mid-Market/Enterprise DTC Brand | Impact.com | Centralizes traditional affiliates, influencers, and creators with modern tracking.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Affiliate · comparative prompt · first choice

“Impact.com is the strongest all-around choice if you want one platform to manage multiple partner types at scale” Perplexity Sonar · Affiliate · direct prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Platforms with Major Red Flags ... complaints about withholding verified commissions ($13,792+ in one case) and ignoring legal demand letters” Mistral Small · PRM · negative prompt · hard negative

“Salesforce PRM, impact.com, and PartnerStack have the most significant and concerning patterns of complaints” DeepSeek V4 Flash · PRM · negative prompt · hard negative

“Avoid joining massive networks like Awin, CJ Affiliate, or Impact.com early on” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Affiliate · budget prompt · hard negative

“Enterprise platforms (PartnerStack, Impact) - Start at $1,000+/month” Mistral Small · Affiliate · budget prompt · hard negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are in a category's top three. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named impact.com. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 49 of the 242 answers that named impact.com and are not a share of its labels.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when impact.com's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as impact.com, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at impact.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
