Tapfiliate is one of the most problematic affiliate tracking platforms on the market. From inaccurate tracking, to blocked by all major browsers and adblocks, they should not even be a consideration when paired alongside Dub Partners.

The referral category deserves a bit of an explanation because we continually see confusion arise when it comes to the competitors in this space. You'll often hear terms like "affiliate", "referral", "link tracking", and "partner portals" all used interchangeably.
And with that, not all referral tracking tools are created equal, nor are they focused on the same needs. They can actually be broken up more into 5 main sub-categories:

Dub is the modern link attribution platform for affiliate programs.
Dub Partners is the most modern affiliate and partnership tracking platform on the market. Unlike older affiliate tools built for eCommerce or coupon sites, Dub Partners was built directly alongside creators, influencers, and real affiliate partners. The result is a platform that shows exactly which content, pages, and channels drive revenue with accurate, first-party attribution that actually works across modern browsers (including iPhones and Safari).
Manage your affiliate and customer referral programs seamlessly — and get started with the affiliate marketing software built for SaaS professionals, digital creators and marketers.
Tapfiliate is an affiliate management platform that has similar issues as Rewardful and FirstPromoter. They all lack a good partner experience resulting in your affiliates not caring about your program. In fact, they will avoid logging in because they are juggling 30+ separate Tapfiliate accounts. You will be stuck chasing invoices, sending PayPal payments one by one, and drowning in hundreds of tiny transactions… all while your affiliates have zero idea which of their content is converting.
While It technically works for setting up an affiliate program quickly (great, you have a program). The problem is it's a half-baked solution that will directly impact your partners' willingness to promote you.
Compared to tools like Dub Partners or PartnerStack, Tapfiliate feels a generation behind and will be the reason you go from thinking "affiliate is a growth channel" to instead "affiliate is a headache".
For these prices, there are much more modern affiliate platforms
