A PartnerStack alternative that finds the partners for you

PartnerStack is a well known partner ecosystem and affiliate marketplace, strong at activating an existing network of resellers and affiliates and handling partner payouts. Many teams choose it when they want to plug into an established marketplace of partners and run referral and reward programs in one place.

Partnerships takes a software-first approach. Our AI BD agent does the prospecting other tools skip: it surfaces ideal reseller, affiliate, integration, and co-marketing partners ranked by a transparent fit score with reasons, then drafts outreach you approve before anything sends. Pricing is flat SaaS with no marketplace tax, so we never take a percentage of your partner revenue and you keep your own list.
