Yes. If you need one platform that can simultaneously support pay-per-lead (PPL), pay-per-sale (PPS/CPS), and pay-per-click (PPC/CPC), the two strongest options are:

1. impact.com — best overall for partnership/affiliate programs

impact.com supports all three models:

• Pay-per-lead: fixed payouts for qualified leads/actions.
• Pay-per-sale: fixed or percentage-of-sale commissions.
• Pay-per-click: CPC event types with configurable click payouts. help.impact.com
• You can also use different payout rules, caps, geographic/device restrictions, and performance bonuses. help.impact.com
• Its current plans include tracking for conversions, leads, bookings, app installs, and advanced CPC tracking. impact.com

This would be my first choice if you're building a broad affiliate/partner network where different partners or campaigns need different compensation models.

2. Everflow — best for performance/affiliate networks

Everflow explicitly supports:

Its payout engine lets you select Click for CPC, Conversion Event for CPA/PPL, and percentage of sale for CPS. helpdesk.everflow.io It also has dedicated lead-generation functionality for tracking and paying on different lead stages. www.everflow.io

My recommendation

If your requirement is specifically:

One platform → multiple partners → some paid per click, some per lead, some per sale → centralized tracking and payouts

I'd shortlist impact.com and Everflow, with impact.com being my pick for a general partnership/affiliate program and Everflow being particularly attractive if you're operating more like a performance marketing/affiliate network.

If you tell me whether you're the advertiser/brand or the affiliate network, I can also compare impact.com vs Everflow vs PartnerStack vs TUNE specifically for your use case and identify which handles simultaneous PPL + PPS + PPC most cleanly.

If you need one platform that can run pay-per-lead (PPL), pay-per-sale (PPS/CPA), and pay-per-click (CPC/PPC) campaigns at the same time, look for a performance marketing / affiliate tracking platform rather than a standard affiliate tool. Some platforms that support all three models are:

Awin explicitly supports CPA (sales), CPL (leads), and CPC commission structures, including running CPC alongside CPL and CPA campaigns. Awin Help Center

My shortlist by use case

• You are building an affiliate network/marketplace:

→ CAKE by getcake or Trackier

• You are a SaaS company managing partners:

→ Everflow

• You want a mature global affiliate ecosystem:

→ Awin

• You need enterprise partnership management (affiliates + influencers + strategic partners):

→ Impact.com

Key capabilities to verify before choosing:

• Multiple commission types inside the same campaign
• Conversion tracking by event (click → lead → sale)
• Lead validation/deduplication
• Postback/API tracking
• Fraud detection for CPC traffic
• Different payouts by partner, geography, product, or funnel stage

A common architecture is:

• CPC: pay for qualified traffic
• CPL: pay when a prospect submits a qualified action
• CPS/CPA: pay when revenue is generated

Many platforms support these as separate commission events within the same partner ecosystem. Awin Help Center HubSpot Blog

If you share whether you are an advertiser running your own partner program or building a marketplace/network for affiliates, the best choice changes significantly.

Yes. If you need pay-per-lead (CPL/CPA), pay-per-sale (CPS/rev share), and pay-per-click (CPC) simultaneously, the strongest fit I found is Everflow.

Best fit: Everflow

Everflow explicitly supports all three payout models:

• Pay-per-click (CPC): fixed payout for each click.
• Pay-per-lead/action (CPA): fixed payout for a qualifying conversion such as a lead.
• Pay-per-sale (CPS): percentage of the sale value.
• It can also combine fixed + percentage payouts and use multiple conversion events within the same offer. Everflow Helpdesk Everflow Helpdesk
• For lead generation, it can track and pay based on stages such as lead submission or approval. Everflow
• It also has partner management, tracking, reporting, and payments built into the platform. Everflow

everflow.io

Another option: TUNE

TUNE is another serious candidate, particularly if you're building a more customized affiliate/partner network. It emphasizes customizable commissioning, tracking, partner management, and payment infrastructure. TUNE TUNE

tune.com

My recommendation: Start with Everflow if the requirement is specifically one platform that natively handles CPL + CPS + CPC. Its documentation explicitly confirms all three, whereas TUNE is more attractive when customization/network infrastructure is the priority.

If you tell me whether you're an advertiser/brand, affiliate network, or lead-generation company, I can narrow this down to the top 3 platforms and compare pricing, tracking, APIs, fraud prevention, and payout flexibility.

Yes. If you need one platform that can run CPC, CPL/PPL, and CPS/PPS simultaneously, there are a few options worth considering:

My first choice would be Awin if you're building a serious partner/affiliate program. Awin's current commission system explicitly supports CPC, CPL, and CPA, with CPA configurable as a percentage or fixed amount per sale. help.awin.comrekomi.com

If you mean you want advertisers/publishers to be able to choose CPC, CPL, or CPS on the same campaign marketplace, Scale.io is particularly close to what you're describing: it advertises CPC, CPL, and CPS as separate pricing models within the same performance advertising platform. www.scaleio.io

Rekomi is another interesting option because it explicitly describes its commission engine as supporting CPC + CPL + CPS simultaneously. rekomi.com

If you tell me whether you're trying to build (1) an affiliate network, (2) an ad marketplace, or (3) a platform for your own business/clients, I can narrow this down to the best 3 platforms and compare pricing, tracking, API, postbacks, fraud prevention, and white-label capabilities.

If you need one platform that can run pay-per-lead (PPL), pay-per-sale (PPS), and pay-per-click (PPC) simultaneously, you’re looking for a performance marketing / affiliate management platform with flexible commission rules rather than a traditional ad platform. help.awin.com

Strong options:

Best overall choices

1. Everflow — best if you are building your own performance marketplace

• Supports multiple payout events (lead, sale, signup, click, install, etc.)
• Strong tracking, attribution, fraud controls, partner management
• Good for affiliate networks, agencies, SaaS, and lead-gen companies

2. Impact.com — best enterprise option

• Handles complex partner contracts and hybrid compensation structures
• Useful when you need affiliates, influencers, publishers, and strategic partners in one system

3. Awin — best if you want access to an existing affiliate network

• Supports CPA/sale, CPL/lead, and CPC/click commission structures. help.awin.com

What I would choose based on your use case:

• Launching an affiliate network or marketplace: Everflow
• Running a large brand partnership ecosystem: Impact.com
• Wanting thousands of existing publishers/affiliates: Awin
• Need a self-hosted/simple affiliate program: Post Affiliate Pro

A key requirement is that the platform must support multiple conversion events in the same program (for example: $0.10/click → $5 qualified lead → $100 sale) and have rules for attribution, validation, and fraud prevention. help.awin.com

If you tell me whether you are a brand paying affiliates, an affiliate network, or a marketplace connecting buyers and sellers, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 platforms.

Yes. If you need one platform that can simultaneously support pay-per-lead (CPL), pay-per-sale (CPS), and pay-per-click (CPC), the strongest fits are:

1. Everflow — best fit for flexible performance marketing

Everflow explicitly supports CPC, CPA/CPL, CPS, and hybrid payout models. Its API documentation lists cpc, cpa, cps, and cpa_cps as payout types, so you can configure different offers/partners under different models. developers.everflow.io

This makes it particularly attractive if you're building a network where:

• Partner A gets $X per click
• Partner B gets $Y per qualified lead
• Partner C gets Z% per sale
• You can also combine models for the same campaign where appropriate.

2. impact.com — best for a polished enterprise partnership platform

impact.com supports CPC, CPL/CPA, and sale-based commissions, with customizable contracts and payout rules. Its documentation specifically describes purchasing traffic based on leads and clicks, while its affiliate materials identify CPC, CPL, and CPS as supported models. help.impact.com

It also has dedicated CPC payout rules, including the ability to establish different payouts for particular types of clicks. help.impact.comhelp.impact.com

My recommendation

If your requirement is specifically:

“We need a performance platform/network that can run CPL + CPS + CPC simultaneously, with granular tracking and different payout rules by partner/offer.”

I'd shortlist Everflow first, then impact.com.

One important distinction: CPL and CPS are usually conversion-based affiliate payouts, whereas CPC pays on the click itself, so you'll want a platform with robust attribution, fraud detection, deduplication, and rules for which event gets paid. impact.com, for example, offers fraud scoring and advanced CPC tracking at higher tiers. impact.com

If you tell me whether you're (a) an advertiser/brand buying leads, sales and clicks, or (b) building your own affiliate/ad network where other companies will run offers, I can narrow this down to the 3–5 platforms actually suited to your business model.

Yes. Everflow is probably the strongest fit if you need pay-per-lead, pay-per-sale, and pay-per-click simultaneously within one performance-marketing platform.

• Pay-per-lead: configure a fixed CPA/RPA payout for a lead or other conversion event.
• Pay-per-sale: use CPS/revenue-share, including a percentage of the sale value.
• Pay-per-click: configure a fixed CPC payout for clicks.
• Mixed models: Everflow can also combine fixed + percentage payouts and track additional conversion events. helpdesk.everflow.io
• It supports partner/affiliate management, tracking, reporting, and payouts in the same platform. www.everflow.io

Everflow official site

Another strong option is impact.com. It supports flexible compensation throughout the conversion funnel and can reward partners for outcomes such as qualified prospects, approved applications, closed deals, and recurring revenue. impact.com

My recommendation

If you're building an affiliate/ad network where advertisers can choose CPL, CPS, or CPC on different offers, I'd lean Everflow because its revenue/payout architecture explicitly supports CPC, CPA, CPS, and mixed models. helpdesk.everflow.ioimpact.com

If you tell me whether you're an advertiser, affiliate network, or marketplace, I can narrow this down to the best 3–5 platforms and compare pricing, API, tracking, fraud prevention, and payout capabilities.

Yes. If you need one platform that can run CPL (pay-per-lead), CPS (pay-per-sale), and CPC (pay-per-click) simultaneously, there are several options.

Best fits

• [Perform[cb]](https://www.performcb.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) — Probably the strongest fit if you're looking for a performance marketing / affiliate network. It explicitly supports CPL, CPS, and CPC, alongside CPA, CPI, CPE, and pay-per-call. www.performcb.com
• Rekomi — A good fit if you want to operate your own affiliate/referral program rather than access a traditional affiliate network. It supports per-sale, per-click, and per-lead campaigns in the same system, with automated affiliate payouts. rekomi.com
• Offerit — More affiliate-network/offer-management oriented; its commission system supports per-click, per-action, and per-sale payouts. www.offerit.com
• ClickLoop — Explicitly supports CPC, CPL, and CPS, plus CPA, although it appears more focused on its own performance offers than being a general-purpose enterprise platform. www.clickloop.com

If you're building this for your own business, I'd lean toward Rekomi for a relatively straightforward affiliate/referral setup, or Perform[cb] if you want a larger performance-marketing network and partner acquisition capability.

If you tell me whether you're an advertiser wanting to pay affiliates or a publisher/network wanting to pay partners, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 platforms that best fit your architecture.

Yes. If you need one platform that can simultaneously support Pay-Per-Lead (CPL/CPA), Pay-Per-Sale (CPS), and Pay-Per-Click (CPC), the strongest options are:

1. Everflow — my top recommendation

Everflow explicitly supports all three:

• CPL / CPA: fixed payout for a conversion/lead
• CPS: percentage of the sale amount
• CPC: fixed payout per click
• It can also combine CPA + CPS and track different stages of a lead/customer journey. helpdesk.everflow.io
• It supports partner-specific payouts, automated payments, granular attribution, and tracking across affiliates and paid media. www.everflow.io

This makes it particularly suitable if you want, for example:

Partner A → $25 per qualified lead
Partner B → 10% of every sale
Partner C → $0.75 per click

all managed within the same system.

2. TUNE — also very capable

TUNE supports cost per click, cost per lead, and cost per sale, and its Offer Goals functionality lets you track multiple conversion events within a single offer—for example, a lead followed later by a sale. www.tune.com

TUNE is especially attractive if you're building a custom affiliate/partner network or need extensive control over partner-level payout structures. www.tune.com

My recommendation

If you're primarily an advertiser/brand running multiple performance channels, I'd choose Everflow. If you're actually operating an affiliate network where advertisers and publishers need to configure their own offers and payout structures, I'd look more closely at TUNE.

If you tell me whether you're (a) an advertiser, (b) an affiliate network, or (c) a lead-generation marketplace, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 platforms and explain the exact setup for running CPL + CPS + CPC simultaneously.

Yes. Everflow is probably the strongest fit if you need pay-per-lead (CPL), pay-per-sale (CPS), and pay-per-click (CPC) simultaneously within one platform.

Everflow supports all three payout models, including CPA/CPL-style fixed payouts, CPS percentage-of-sale payouts, and CPC payouts. It can also mix models and apply different payout rules by partner, offer, or conversion event. helpdesk.everflow.io

How I'd compare the main options

Why I'd lean Everflow: you can create different offers such as:

• Lead → $25 CPL
• Sale → 10% CPS
• Click → $0.50 CPC
• Or even CPA + CPS on the same conversion event

Everflow explicitly documents CPC, CPA, CPS, and mixed CPA+CPS payout configurations. helpdesk.everflow.io

Everflow's pricing/details are worth reviewing because pricing is customized rather than a simple low-cost SaaS plan.

impact.com is the other platform I'd seriously evaluate. It supports affiliate, creator, and referral programs and allows payouts at different points in the conversion funnel. impact.com

If you tell me whether you're an advertiser/brand, affiliate network, or agency, and roughly how many leads/sales/clicks per month, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 platforms and compare pricing, tracking, fraud prevention, APIs, and payout flexibility.

If you need one platform that can run pay-per-lead (PPL), pay-per-sale (PPS), and pay-per-click (PPC) simultaneously, you’re looking for an affiliate/performance marketing tracking platform with flexible commission rules rather than a traditional affiliate network.

Strong options:

trackdesk.comrekomi.com

Best fits by use case

If you need all three models natively:

• Trackdesk is one of the better fits because it supports multiple commission types including CPA/CPL/CPS and tracks clicks, leads, and sales. trackdesk.com
• Rekomi explicitly supports per-sale, per-click, and per-lead campaigns. trackdesk.comrekomi.com

If you are running a large affiliate network or media-buying operation:

• Everflow is commonly used for complex partner attribution, tracking, and payouts.

If you are building a marketplace where advertisers set different payout rules:

• Look for features like:
  • offer-level commission rules
  • postback/S2S tracking
  • click fraud detection
  • lead validation/approval workflows
  • multi-touch attribution
  • custom conversion events

One important distinction: many platforms can track clicks while paying for leads/sales, but fewer treat PPC as a true payable event (paying partners for qualified clicks). If PPC is a core revenue model—not just a tracking metric—verify that explicitly before choosing.

For a platform that genuinely supports PPC + PPL + PPS in the same system, I would shortlist:

1. Trackdesk
2. Rekomi
3. Everflow

trackdesk.comrekomi.com

If you mean a publisher marketplace like Google Ads-style traffic buying, rather than an affiliate platform, the shortlist would be different.

Yes. If you need one platform that can simultaneously run Pay-Per-Lead (CPL), Pay-Per-Sale (CPS), and Pay-Per-Click (CPC) campaigns, there are a few good options.

Best fits

My first choice: LinkTrust. It explicitly supports CPA, CPL, CPC and CPS campaign types and provides tracking from the initial impression/click through to the sale. www.linktrust.com

LinkTrust

Offerit is another strong option if you're primarily building an affiliate program. It specifically supports payouts per click, per action, and per sale, with flexible commission rules. www.offerit.com

Offerit

Scale.io is worth considering if you're looking more for a performance advertising platform than traditional affiliate-management software. It advertises CPC, CPL and CPS among its pricing models. www.scaleio.io

Scale.io

One important distinction

If by "simultaneously" you mean the same advertiser can have different partners/offers paid under different models at the same time—e.g.:

• Partner A → $25 per qualified lead
• Partner B → 10% per sale
• Partner C → $0.75 per click

then LinkTrust/Offerit-style affiliate tracking software is the direction I'd look.

If instead you mean one individual campaign should be able to pay CPC → CPL → CPS at different stages of the same customer journey, that's a more specific requirement, and I'd narrow the platforms differently.

If you tell me whether you're the advertiser, affiliate network, or publisher, I can give you the top 3 platforms and their pricing/features for your exact setup.

If you need one platform that can run pay-per-lead (PPL), pay-per-sale (PPS/CPA), and pay-per-click (PPC/CPC) campaigns at the same time, you are generally looking for an affiliate/performance marketing platform, not a traditional ad platform. Several platforms can handle all three models. help.awin.comwww.offerit.com

Top options:

help.awin.com

My shortlist by use case

1. Best all-around enterprise choice: Awin
Awin explicitly supports multiple commission structures, including cost-per-click (CPC), cost-per-lead (CPL), and cost-per-acquisition/sale (CPA). help.awin.com

2. Best if you need a highly customizable affiliate engine: Offerit
Offerit supports CPC, CPS, CPA, and other payout structures, making it suitable when different partners need different compensation rules. help.awin.comwww.offerit.com

3. Best for SaaS/marketplaces building their own partner ecosystem: Everflow
Good if you need:

• affiliate tracking
• influencer tracking
• referral programs
• multiple payout rules
• fraud controls
• API integrations

4. Best for lead-gen verticals (insurance, finance, home services, etc.): Phonexa
Strong for validated leads, routing, and lead monetization workflows. help.awin.comphonexa.com

What I would choose

• Affiliate marketplace with many advertisers/publishers: Awin or Everflow
• Your own offers with custom commission logic: Offerit
• Lead-heavy business (calls/forms/qualified leads): Phonexa
• Enterprise performance network: CAKE or Everflow

One important design question: do you need one campaign to pay different partners differently (for example, Partner A gets paid per click, Partner B per lead, Partner C per sale), or do you simply need the platform to support all three models across separate campaigns? The answer changes the best choice.

Yes. Everflow is probably the strongest fit if you need pay-per-lead, pay-per-sale, and pay-per-click simultaneously.

Everflow explicitly supports:

Its documentation specifically lists CPC, CPA, CPS, and CPA + CPS payout models, with clicks and conversion events as separate actions. helpdesk.everflow.io

Everflow platform

Why I'd shortlist Everflow

If your requirement is something like:

• Partner A → $2 per lead
• Partner B → 10% per sale
• Partner C → $0.50 per click
• Partner D → $10 per lead + 5% of resulting sale

…you can configure these different compensation structures within the same tracking/partner platform rather than stitching together three systems. Everflow also supports tracking clicks, conversions, revenue, and partner performance in one system. helpdesk.everflow.io

TUNE is another platform worth evaluating for a larger/enterprise partner program; it offers customizable partner programs, conversion tracking, and commission management. www.tune.com

My recommendation: Start with Everflow if the simultaneous CPC + CPL + CPS requirement is the key criterion.

If you tell me whether you're building an affiliate network, lead-gen marketplace, ad platform, or internal partner program, I can narrow this down to the 3 best platforms and compare pricing, tracking, APIs, fraud prevention, and payout flexibility.

If you need one platform that can run pay-per-lead (PPL), pay-per-sale (PPS/CPA), and pay-per-click (PPC/CPC) campaigns at the same time, you’re generally looking for an affiliate/performance marketing platform with flexible commission rules, not a standard ad platform. www.offerit.comphonexa.com

Strong options:

www.offerit.comphonexa.com

My shortlist by use case:

• You are creating your own marketplace/network: Everflow or Offerit
• You need thousands of advertisers/publishers already available: Awin or Impact.com
• You are focused on qualified leads (insurance, finance, home services, B2B): Phonexa is worth evaluating because lead validation and routing are major requirements. phonexa.com

A few implementation details matter:

• Use separate conversion events for each model (click → lead → sale) rather than mixing payouts into one event.
• Add fraud detection and lead-quality rules for PPL/PPC, since those models are easier to abuse.
• Confirm the platform supports hybrid campaigns (for example: $0.10/click + $25/qualified lead + 10% sale commission).

If you mean a platform for advertisers to buy traffic (like an ad network) rather than software to run your own affiliate program, the answer changes.

Yes. If you mean one platform where you can run campaigns using all three compensation models—PPC, PPL, and PPS—simultaneously, there are a few options.

Best fit: Scale.io

Scale.io explicitly supports CPC (pay-per-click), CPL (pay-per-lead), and CPS (pay-per-sale), along with other performance models. It also advertises real-time tracking and attribution across these models. www.scaleio.io

Other possibilities

The important distinction is that PPC is much less commonly offered as an affiliate payout model than PPL or PPS. A platform may support all three in its broader advertising ecosystem without allowing a single advertiser/partner program to mix all three under one campaign.

If your requirement is specifically:

One platform → one partner/publisher network → same campaign ecosystem → some partners paid per click, some per lead, some per sale

then I'd narrow the search differently. I can compare the top 5 platforms that actually support that exact setup, including tracking, attribution, fraud prevention, API/webhooks, and pricing.

Yes. There are affiliate/partner marketing platforms that can support all three compensation models simultaneously:

• Pay-per-click (PPC/CPC) – reward partners for qualified clicks.
• Pay-per-lead (PPL/CPL) – reward for form fills, registrations, or qualified leads.
• Pay-per-sale (PPS/CPS) – reward for completed purchases.

Here are the strongest options:

Rekomi explicitly supports creating campaigns that pay per click, per lead, or per sale, with automated tracking, fraud detection, and payouts. rekomi.com

Offerit is designed for affiliate networks and supports CPC, CPA (lead/action), CPS (sale), CPM, and recurring commissions, making it one of the most flexible options. www.offerit.com

Adcentri also allows advertisers to define whether affiliates are paid for sales, leads, or clicks, depending on the campaign. adcentri.com

If you're building a marketplace

If your platform needs to support different advertisers using different pricing models simultaneously, your commission engine should allow each campaign to specify:

• Campaign A → Pay $0.15 per click
• Campaign B → Pay $8 per qualified lead
• Campaign C → Pay 12% per sale

All three can run concurrently, with attribution handled by a common tracking system (cookies, server-to-server events, or unique links).

Enterprise options

If you're expecting high volume (millions of clicks or thousands of partners), enterprise platforms such as impact.com, Partnerize, and TUNE also support flexible payout rules, though they're generally more expensive and aimed at larger organizations.

If your goal is to build your own affiliate platform rather than use an existing one, I can also outline an architecture that supports PPC, PPL, and PPS in a single commission engine with unified tracking and reporting.

If you need to support pay-per-lead (PPL), pay-per-sale (PPS/CPA), and pay-per-click (PPC) within the same platform, your options narrow considerably. Most affiliate platforms specialize in one or two models rather than all three.

Here are the strongest options:

Best overall: Impact.com

If you're running a mature partnership program, Impact can:

• Pay affiliates for clicks
• Pay fixed amounts per lead
• Pay commissions on completed sales
• Mix commission rules by partner
• Handle coupon partners, influencers, affiliates, B2B referrals, and strategic partners in one platform

This is one of the few systems designed to manage multiple compensation models simultaneously.

Best for flexibility: Everflow

Everflow is particularly strong if you:

• Buy media
• Work with affiliates
• Manage influencers
• Need multiple payout events

You can define different conversion events such as:

• Click → $0.20
• Qualified lead → $15
• Sale → 10%

The same partner can even earn from all three if that's how you structure the campaign.

Best for custom affiliate networks: Tune

Tune was built around performance marketing and supports:

• CPC
• CPL
• CPA/CPS
• Multi-event conversions
• API-driven tracking
• Custom payout logic

It's popular with companies operating their own affiliate or partner network.

Best for large affiliate networks: CAKE

CAKE has long been used by affiliate networks because it supports:

• Click tracking
• Lead generation
• Sales attribution
• Tiered payouts
• Multiple conversion events
• Fraud detection

If you're building your own platform

If this is for your own marketplace or SaaS product, I'd recommend looking at:

1. Everflow (fastest to launch)
2. Tune (most customizable)
3. Impact.com (best enterprise ecosystem)

All three can support campaigns where one advertiser pays:

• $0.10 per click
• $20 per qualified lead
• 8% of completed sales

within the same platform.

If you can share your use case—such as affiliate marketing, influencer partnerships, local services, B2B referrals, or a marketplace—I can recommend the platform that's the best fit for your scale and business model.

If you need one platform that can run all three pricing models simultaneously—pay-per-lead (PPL), pay-per-sale (PPS/CPA or revenue share), and pay-per-click (PPC)—there are a few strong options, but they differ in who they're built for.

If you're building an affiliate or partner network

The strongest choices are:

1. Everflow
   • Native support for CPC, CPL, CPA, revenue share, and hybrid payouts
   • Flexible conversion tracking
   • Multiple traffic sources
   • Fraud detection
   • API-first architecture
   • Good reporting and partner portal

2. TUNE
   • Highly configurable commission rules
   • Click, lead, sale, recurring commissions
   • Enterprise-grade APIs
   • Excellent if you have developers

3. Impact.com
   • Supports affiliates, influencers, referrals, B2B partnerships, and media partners
   • Custom contracts allowing different payout models for different partners
   • More expensive but extremely capable

If you need all three models at the same time

For example:

• Google Ads traffic → Pay per click
• Lead generation partners → Pay per qualified lead
• Affiliates → 10% of completed sales

Platforms like Everflow, TUNE, and CAKE can track and compensate each partner differently within the same system.

If you're building your own marketplace

If you're developing your own platform, the architecture usually looks like:

• Tracking layer (clicks, impressions, conversions)
• Attribution engine
• Rules engine
  • Partner A → $2 per click
  • Partner B → $20 per qualified lead
  • Partner C → 15% revenue share
• Billing engine
• Reporting dashboard
• Fraud detection

This gives you complete flexibility rather than being locked into one compensation model.

Recommendation:

• Best overall: Everflow
• Best enterprise: Impact.com
• Best for custom/high-scale implementations: TUNE

Can you share whether you're:

1. building an affiliate network,
2. running an ecommerce partner program,
3. operating a lead generation business, or
4. creating a white-label platform for clients? That changes which platform is the best fit.

If you need one platform that can run pay-per-lead (PPL), pay-per-sale (PPS/CPA), and pay-per-click (PPC/CPC) campaigns at the same time, you’re generally looking for an affiliate/performance marketing platform with flexible commission rules, not a standard ad network.

Strong candidates:

help.awin.com

My shortlist:

1. Awin — best if you want a marketplace/network where advertisers and publishers can work together and configure multiple commission structures. Awin documents support for CPA (sale), CPL (lead), and CPC (click) models. help.awin.com
2. Offerit — best if you want to operate your own affiliate platform and define different payout rules per offer. It specifically supports commissions based on clicks, actions, and sales. help.awin.comwww.offerit.com
3. Phonexa — best for lead-heavy businesses (insurance, finance, services) where lead quality, routing, and validation matter. phonexa.com

Before choosing, verify these requirements:

• Multiple payout types in the same account (not just one model per campaign)
• Conversion tracking (click → lead → sale attribution)
• Fraud prevention for fake clicks/leads
• Postback/API integrations
• Custom commission rules (different affiliates, products, geographies, funnels)

If you mean “we are building a marketplace where advertisers can choose any of the three models” rather than “we want to join an affiliate network,” the best answer changes toward affiliate software platforms rather than networks.

If your requirement is to support all three compensation models simultaneously—pay-per-lead (PPL), pay-per-sale (PPS/CPS), and pay-per-click (PPC/CPC)—then you need a performance marketing or affiliate platform that supports multiple commission types within the same platform.

Here are the strongest options:

If you're building your own marketplace or network

A flexible architecture would allow advertisers to choose their payment model per campaign:

• Campaign A: Pay $0.50 per click
• Campaign B: Pay $15 per qualified lead
• Campaign C: Pay 10% per sale

Your tracking system should record:

• Clicks
• Leads
• Sales
• Attribution
• Fraud detection
• Payout calculations

This approach lets publishers participate across different campaign types while advertisers select the model that best matches their goals.

For enterprise-scale affiliate networks

Platforms such as Offerit and Affity are designed specifically for this use case. They support CPC, CPA (lead/action), CPS, recurring commissions, and custom payout rules within a single platform. affity.iowww.offerit.com

Recommendation

If you're buying software, I'd rank them:

1. Offerit — most flexible for affiliate networks and mixed commission structures.
2. Affity — modern platform with advanced tracking and multiple commission models.
3. Rekomi — excellent for SaaS and eCommerce businesses.
4. Partli — strong choice if you want an API-first solution that integrates into a custom product.

If your goal is to build a platform similar to Impact, CJ, or PartnerStack, a custom solution is often the better long-term option. It gives you the flexibility to support CPC, PPL, PPS, hybrid campaigns, custom validation rules, and advertiser-specific payout logic without being constrained by a third-party platform.
