One thing to consider is that, in terms of affiliate programs, exit chat solutions generally rely on someone else's traffic. They have no traffic of their own, so they rely on the work you, and your affiliates, have invested. They intercept the surfer along the tour/join page, even if the potential customer checks the join page just to see prices, then clicks the back button to resume the tour. Personally, I find this type of behavior parasitic in nature.
Some affiliates will not mind having their links and/or cookies intercepted and/or modified, others certainly will.
One good thing with most of these programs is that you can enable or disable these links for specific affiliates or create an exit free tour that affiliates can choose from -- one that suppresses these exit bots.
The type of implementation should be given consideration if affiliates are part of your business model.
