Affiliate Marketing Software Resources

Has SaaSquatch successfully completed a Service Organization Control (SOC 2®) Type II examination?

Does SaaSquatch operate within the requirements of GDPR when handling personal information (ie. email addresses) of the referring and referred users?

I am researching the Affiliate Marketing category on G2 and am weighing Impact.com against PartnerStack for a B2B SaaS program. I’m looking at it specifically from the angle of paying for what you will actually use. Both are well regarded, but they are built around somewhat different centers of gravity, and for a focused SaaS partner program, that difference is what tends to matter. Here’s what I found:

• PartnerStack is purpose-built for B2B SaaS partner programs, covering affiliates, referrals, resellers, and agencies with a marketplace to recruit partners and automated global payouts, which SaaS teams tend to find well-matched to how they actually work. The trade-offs reviewers raise are that it is not very customizable and has a premium price.
• impact.com is a broad partnership platform with a large partner network, deep integrations, and a strong feature set that spans affiliate, creator, and advocacy programs, which suits teams that want that full range. The common caveats are a steep learning curve and depth that can feel like more than a focused program needs.

For B2B SaaS teams that evaluated both, which one felt right-sized for your program rather than over-built, and if you chose the broader platform, did you actually grow into the extra capability or end up paying for features you never turned on?
