The Everflow alternative
built for brands, not networks.
Everflow is serious machinery: a bootstrapped, profitable performance-marketing platform that tracked $4.3 billion in partner revenue in 2025 and serves brands, agencies, and ad networks running affiliates, influencers, media buying, and pay-per-call in one system. It is also quote-only, sales-led, and carries a 6-month commitment, because its real audience is networks and media buyers with procurement budgets. Rekomi is for SaaS and ecommerce brands that want affiliates recruited, tracked, and paid, at a published price, starting this afternoon.
When to pick which.
You are a SaaS or ecommerce brand and affiliate is a channel, not a department. You want partners recruited, tracked against your Stripe or Shopify revenue, screened for fraud, and paid on schedule with W-9s collected and a 1099-NEC worksheet ready at year end, at a price you can read off a page: $29 to $99 flat plus 3% of payouts, live the same day on a 14-day trial with no sales call.
You run performance marketing at network scale: an affiliate or CPA network, an agency operating many client sub-accounts, or a media-buying operation that needs S2S postbacks everywhere, SKU-level attribution, QR and coupon tracking, pay-per-call, and automated traffic policing. Everflow's tracking depth and SmartSwitch automation genuinely serve that world, and a quoted enterprise contract is normal procurement there.

How we keep this honest
Every row reflects real product behavior on the date above. We update this page when either product ships material changes. Nothing here is invented to make Rekomi look better.
Which one fits your situation.
Affiliate platforms are not one-size-fits-all. Here is a straight read on which tool wins for each profile we see.
SaaS or ecommerce brand that wants an affiliate channel, not a platform project
Your whole need is recruit, track, pay, and stay compliant. Rekomi does exactly that for $29-99 flat plus 3% of payouts, self-serve, with fraud scoring and the curated network on every plan. Buying Everflow for this is buying a network's machinery to run a brand's program, at a price that starts with a sales call and a 6-month commitment.
Affiliate or CPA network, or a platform white-labeling for one
This is Everflow's home game and Rekomi does not play in it: white-label tenancy, offer management, network-grade reporting, and marketplace mechanics. Full concession, no caveats.
Agency running media buying, pay-per-call, and affiliates across client sub-accounts
Unified attribution across paid social click IDs, calls, QR codes, and affiliate links in one P&L is exactly what Everflow is built for, and its multi-tenant sub-accounts fit agency operations. Rekomi serves agencies running brand affiliate programs, not cross-channel performance desks.
Brand that got an Everflow quote and mostly needs the affiliate part
Price the quote against what you would use. Rekomi at $49/mo plus 3% covers a typical brand program with payouts and tax prep included, and its Everflow importer moves the roster, click totals, and the last year of conversions in one pull. Keep the Everflow quote if media buying or pay-per-call is genuinely on your roadmap.
Where the modern build pays off.
The pillars below summarise the side-by-side above. We keep the read honest by including the cases where Everflow still wins today.
Our case.
Shape, transparency, and time-to-value for brands. Published pricing ($29/$49/$99 flat plus 3% of payouts) instead of a quote form with a 6-month commitment. Self-serve signup and a 14-day trial instead of a demo cycle. Payouts included in the base product on every plan instead of an application-gated add-on with unpublished usage fees. IP-reputation fraud scoring from Starter. A curated network and AI co-pilot included. And a dedicated Everflow importer, so the switch is one API pull rather than a project.
What both ship.
Stripe-native tracking, refund-aware attribution, signed S2S hooks, and standard commission models. Both tools clear the bar on the table-stakes. The differences live in everything built on top of that foundation.
No spin.
Depth and breadth for performance operations. Tracking nobody in the self-serve set matches: S2S, direct linking, QR, coupon, view-through, SKU-level, per-partner attribution windows. SmartSwitch automation that blocks, alerts, and re-routes non-compliant traffic on its own. Analytics-driven fraud reporting. White-label and multi-tenant operations for networks and agencies. Everflow Pay's tax stack, including full-service 1099 filing to the IRS. And the track record is real: bootstrapped, profitable, past $30M ARR, 99.99% uptime, with a 4.7 on G2 and 4.9 on Capterra.
Our straight answer.
Match the tool to the audience it was built for. Everflow's own FAQ names brands, agencies, and ad networks running performance partnerships from classic affiliates to media buyers; it is excellent at that, and if you are a network or a cross-channel performance team, buy it with confidence. If you are a SaaS or ecommerce brand whose whole need is recruit, track, pay, and file, you are the edge of Everflow's audience and the center of Rekomi's. One platform prices that job at a quote plus a 6-month commitment; the other prices it at $29-99 flat plus 3%, published, with a 14-day trial and an importer that brings your Everflow program across in an afternoon.
Common questions.
What is Everflow pricing, actually?
Everflow publishes no platform prices. Its pricing page is a Request Personalized Pricing form (it asks about your program status, monthly payouts, and business type) and states that Everflow plans require a 6-month commitment. Third-party reviews and software listings commonly cite an entry price around $750 per month, but Everflow does not confirm any figure, so treat that as reported rather than official. Rekomi's pricing is published in full: $29, $49, or $99 per month flat plus 3% of payouts (2.5% on Enterprise).
Does Everflow have a free trial?
There is no self-serve trial: evaluation runs through a demo and a personalized quote. Some software directories flag a trial, but Everflow's own site offers only demo and quote flows, so plan on a sales conversation to see the product. Rekomi's 14-day trial is self-serve and full-featured with no card required.
What do Everflow reviews say?
They are genuinely good: 4.7 out of 5 on G2 across 192 reviews and 4.9 out of 5 on Capterra across 40, as of our fact-check date. Praise clusters around support responsiveness, reporting granularity, and tracking reliability; recurring complaints are the learning curve, price, and technical setup effort. That pattern matches the audience split on this page: power users love it, and small brand teams find it a lot of machine.
How do payouts and 1099s compare?
On base Everflow, your team disburses the money. Everflow Pay, an add-on behind an application and KYC review, brings payouts in-house with a strong tax stack: TIN verification, W-9 generation, and full-service 1099 filing direct to the IRS. Its published fees are the international transfer charges partners absorb ($29 under $10,000, $40 at $10,000 and up, $50 minimum); advertiser-side usage fees exist but are not published. Rekomi includes the payout rail on every plan (Stripe Express and PayPal, 150+ countries) for the flat 3%, collects W-9s during payout onboarding, and builds the year-end 1099-NEC candidates worksheet; you file as payer of record. If full-service filing is your deciding feature, Everflow Pay wins that row honestly.
Everflow vs impact.com: which enterprise platform fits?
Both are enterprise-grade with different centers of gravity. Everflow leans performance and network operations: media buying, pay-per-call, S2S depth, white-label tenancy, with quote-only pricing. impact.com leans partnership breadth: affiliate plus creator plus referral suites, a huge marketplace, and it now publishes SMB tier pricing. If you are choosing between them, you are shopping in the enterprise aisle; our impact.com comparison at /compare/impact-com runs the published numbers. Most brands that land on this page need neither and want the affiliate channel done well at a flat price.
How does migrating from Everflow to Rekomi work?
Through Rekomi's dedicated Everflow importer. Generate a Network API key in Everflow's Control Center under Security, paste it into Rekomi's Settings, Migrate (choosing the US or EU region your account runs on), and one pull imports your partner roster, click totals from the last 12 months of Everflow's reporting, and up to 365 days of conversion history as settled records. Two honest caveats: Everflow retains raw conversion data for 365 days at most, so older history cannot come across on any path, and Everflow tracking links use machine-generated tokens with nothing user-chosen in them, so partners get fresh Rekomi links; coupon codes are the preservable asset and can be re-created as Rekomi campaign coupons. See /docs/brands/migrations/everflow.
Is Rekomi a serious Everflow alternative for a brand-run program?
For the affiliate channel of a SaaS or ecommerce brand, yes: commissions with tiers, delays, and caps; fraud scoring on every plan; payouts and tax prep handled; coupon attribution; a curated network; and native billing integrations. For network operations, media buying, or pay-per-call, no, and this page says so plainly: Everflow keeps that lane. The fit question is which of those two jobs your program actually is.
The price of the platform is a sales call.
Our other comparisons run fee arithmetic from both vendors' published schedules. That is impossible here, and the impossibility is the finding: searching for Everflow pricing leads to a quote form. This table holds every number each side actually publishes.
| The number | Rekomi (published) | Everflow (published) |
|---|---|---|
| Platform price | $29 / $49 / $99 per mo | None. Personalized-quote form only |
| Fee on payouts | Flat 3% (2.5% Enterprise) | Everflow Pay usage fees exist; amounts not published |
| Partner transfer fees | None beyond the 3% | International USD: $29 under $10K, $40 at $10K+, $50 minimum (domestic ACH/wire free) |
| Trial | 14 days, self-serve, no card | None self-serve; demo-led evaluation |
| Commitment | Month to month | 6-month commitment, stated on the pricing page |
What fills the gap elsewhere: third-party reviews and listings commonly report an entry plan around $750/mo, which with the official 6-month commitment would imply roughly $4,500 before your program proves anything. Everflow confirms no figure, so we present that as reported, not fact. For scale: a brand paying $10K/mo in commissions runs $349/mo all-in on Rekomi ($49 plan + $300 payout fee), from the published schedule. Sources: everflow.io/pricing and the Everflow Pay fee article on their help desk, both fetched on the fact-check date; Rekomi's pricing page.
Network machinery vs brand needs.
The honest framing of this whole comparison: Everflow sells the machinery a performance operation runs on; Rekomi sells the affiliate channel a brand runs. Map what you would actually use.
- An affiliate or CPA network (white-label, multi-tenant, offers)
- Media buying with unified paid-social attribution
- Pay-per-call or offline QR attribution
- SmartSwitch-style automated traffic policing
- Agency sub-accounts across many client programs
- Recruiting: curated network, invites, two-step apply
- Tracking against your real billing (Stripe, Shopify, Paddle + more)
- Fraud scoring on every click and lead, every plan
- Payouts + W-9 collection + 1099-NEC prep, flat 3%
- Published pricing, self-serve, live today
Leaving Everflow, one Network-key pull.
Everflow's UI exports have user-selected columns and its reports queue asynchronously, so Rekomi's importer goes straight to the API: one Network key pulls the roster, click totals, and the last year of conversions.
- Generate a Network API key in Everflow's Control Center under Security and paste it into Rekomi's Settings, Migrate, choosing your region (US or EU infrastructure). Used once, never stored.
- The pull imports your partner roster (emails come from each partner's portal users; partners with no users have no email and are listed for manual invites), statuses mapped to Rekomi's, PayPal emails where a partner's billing is PayPal by email, and click totals from the last 12 months of Everflow's reporting.
- Up to 365 days of conversions import as settled records with per-row currency, deduped on Everflow's unique conversion id, so recurring and upsell events never collapse. Everflow retains raw conversion data for 365 days at most, so older history cannot come across on any path.
- Honest link caveat: Everflow tracking links are machine-generated per partner per offer, so nothing user-chosen exists to preserve; partners get fresh Rekomi links, and coupon codes (the real identity asset) can be re-created as Rekomi campaign coupons.
