Please recommend the best Affiliate software
 

I'm helping a client start a new affiliate program for promoting models. Is NATs still the gold standard? What is the most widely used software out there? Thanks in advance!

Nats hands down

Might be CCBill.

Websites don't pay them for membership management or billing outside of normal billing fees.
Plus, they eat the chargeback if you only have one or two.

That was my experience.

NATS affiliate admin is the winner of affiliate admins.
CCBill is prety much just for billing, where as NATS has affiliate content management utilities.
Nats is very comprehensive, yet there is also a learning curve for the user.

:2 cents:

Disclaimer : It's been I while since I used CCBill. Any changes made lately are not to my knowledge.

CCBill hasn't changed since 2003 so I think your info is still good there. :1orglaugh

If you are doing enough volume and expect to have a lot of affiliates you will have to pay yourself then go with NATS. You can always list Billers like CCBill and Epoch in the NATS cascade. Of course, there is the yearly Visa/MC renewel fee for processors to consider as well.

NATS is the industry standard.
