alternative to nats / mpa3

Anyone know of alternatives to nats and mpa3. I know about executive stats and the one being by awiz. Important features are cascading and informative stats. Any ideas anyone?

Both Epoch and CCBill now offer cascading billing which credits affiliates.

Hi Amelia,

Yep, I know and they're both messy to work with unfortunately and painfully slow at the best of times.

What CCBill and Epoch offer in terms of "cascading" is extremely limited. In addition to actually having control over your processing rather than what's referred to as "cascading" these days you are missing out on many features and lots of flexibility that owning and running your own affiliate program provides you.

Why don't NATS, MPA3, ES, or AWiz work for you? Between the four of them there is a solution that fits almost anyone's needs.

Hi John, you have more eloquently provided the reasons why I do not what to use the solutions provided by ccbill and epoch. As for the rest, I do not have an affiliate program and do not have affiliates. The reason for me wanting to use a solution like nats is for it's cascading ability, campaign tracking and better statistical information all in one place.

With aWiz, well, it just doesn't seem to have the features I require and seems a little limited.

MPA3, Nats and ES are lease models and closed source. Lease models become rather expensive when you don't have affiliate and don't use the bulk of the features. Closed source means I cannot customize the software to gain some insights into my traffic that I would rather not discuss here.

I really would prefer to have something similar to Nats since it looks pretty feature packed.
