Frequently asked questions
What does impact.com actually manage?
It is a partnership management platform that unifies affiliate, creator/influencer and customer referral programs in one dashboard, covering partner discovery and recruitment, contracting and payouts, cross-device tracking, partner engagement, fraud and compliance protection, and optimisation.
How much does impact.com cost?
Pricing is not published. The vendor's pricing page routes brands and agencies to a demo request, while creators, influencers and publishers can sign up to the marketplace directly. Expect custom, negotiated enterprise pricing.
Can we run affiliate, influencer and referral programs on one platform?
Yes. The vendor positions a single dashboard across affiliates, creators and customer referrals, with consistent tracking across partnership types, and claims brands using affiliates plus influencers drive up to 46% more sales than single-channel strategies.
Does impact.com offer AI capabilities?
The vendor uses 'AI-powered' and 'AI-native' language and discusses AI-driven traffic, but the pages reviewed do not document specific AI features, model hosting or AI audit logging, so treat AI functionality as unverified until confirmed in a demo.
What support is included?
A help center with FAQs and guides and a customer support contact route are published. No plan-level support tiers, response-time SLAs or 24/7 coverage claims appear, so confirm support terms during contracting.
