Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

Pros:

Our team has been running partner programs for many years, but no matter how experienced you are, there are always new partners emerging and new ways to work with companies. Publisher Discovery is layered on top of all of our other recruiting efforts to ensure we are not missing out on any opportunities.

Cons:

As with any technology, I would always love them to be less expensive, but I do think it's a fair price for the benefit.

Reasons for choosing Publisher Discovery

Efficiency and return for the investment.

Vendor Response

Thanks so much for your feedback - we love to hear our users' successes and views which we use in our development plans to drive new tools.

Great tool for recruiting AFFILIATES and monitoring competition

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

There are many prospecting tools out there, but most of them scrape search results for specific keywords and provide lists of websites, including competitors, that rank for those keywords but do not necessarily monetize their content through affiliate links. Publisher Discovery is the only tool I've used that looks for affiliate links. It helps you find not "cold prospects" but your competitors' affiliates, providing even traffic and contact information. You can build a list of hundreds of prospects in just a couple of hours. I also love the fact that they never stop improving and developing new feature, and the support team is amazing.

Cons:

I would love an opportunity to build and export prospect lists or set up email workflows within the platform but I've only seen that provided by much more expensive platforms that did not have Publisher Discovery's accuracy in identifying prospects. I'm sure we'll see that implemented soon.

Reasons for switching to Publisher Discovery

Over the years, I tried over 10 prospecting tools, but Publisher Discovery beats all of them when it comes to prospecting accuracy and competitor affiliates intel.

Vendor Response

Thanks so much for your feedback Mihaela and we're pleased you find the tools valuable. We very much value our users views as this feeds directly into our development plans

Publisher Discovery Affiliate Recruitment

The Publisher Discovery interface has been a real game-changer for our organization. Having the ability to quickly sort through the sea of affiliates to pinpoint the most applicable matches has been of immense value, both for us and for our merchant partners.

Functionality

Pros:

Various filters and sorting tools can be utilized to customize searches and drill down on the most relevant affiliate matches within a wide variety of verticals. The interface provides easy access to affiliate details (i.e., top countries, contact info, partners, etc.), and keeps track of the affiliates that have already been contacted. The “My Competitors” section and Gap Analysis Tool help merchants gain a competitive edge when recruiting affiliates. Additionally, Publisher Discovery offers excellent customer support and has always been prompt in responding when I reach out.

Cons:

It’s a lot to take in at first and getting used to the interface took some time, but the folks at Publisher Discovery were fantastic in answering my inquiries and helping to walk me through everything.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your feedback Jon and it's great that you find the tools valuable. We very much value our users views as this feeds directly into our onward development.

Pros:

Love the ability our clients have compare their competitors affiliates against their brand, identifying new partnership opportunities. Also, very easy and fast to filter to focus on the appropriate segments by industry, country, etc.

Cons:

Our clients love it as it is. It perfectly serves the goal of managing the discovery phase when launching a new program, or for identifying new affiliate opportunities when scaling your existing program.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your feedback Ed - it's valuable for us to understand what users are finding most useful. Watch out for some more refinements coming in the next few months as well.

Find New Opportunities Fast

Ease of use

Pros:

You can find both new business opportunities AND check out your competition at the same time just by doing keyword searches. It's important to approach your research in both directions.

Cons:

The free version doesn't allow you to sort only by your own country, but it's easy to see the countries after you click on the results. The paid version does do a lot more as well, as would be expected.

Vendor Response

Thanks so much for your comments - this all feeds back into our development process.

Pros:

Support is excellent and the software is now a lot faster in pulling data. The entity search is also very useful.

There are some features I'd like to see, such as scheduled reporting. Also, due to the amount of data available, it can be quite a vortex but they do well in distilling the data.
