PartnerStack is a B2B SaaS partner ecosystem platform founded in 2015 and headquartered in Toronto, Canada. In 2025, PartnerStack was acquired by AppDirect, combining to form what the companies describe as the most complete B2B distribution platform. The platform manages 116,000+ active partners across affiliate programs, reseller channels, and referral networks for over 600 B2B software companies including Asana, QuickBooks, Intercom, Freshworks, and Monday.com.
PartnerStack does not publish pricing publicly. Pricing is negotiated through a sales demo process and varies by program size, partner count, and contract length. Based on historical disclosures and industry reports, the platform has historically charged a monthly platform fee plus a percentage commission fee on partner-generated revenue (typically 3–15% of commissions depending on volume and plan tier). From 2020 onward, PartnerStack removed all pricing details from its website. Current pricing requires direct contact with sales.
What PartnerStack offers brands: a partner marketplace where 116,000+ active B2B partners can discover and apply to programs, automated monthly payouts to partners in their local currency, partner onboarding automation, performance tracking across partner groups and individual partners, and integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, and major CRMs. Brands can manage affiliate partners (pay per link click or conversion), referral partners (agencies and consultants who refer clients), and reseller partners (who sell the product as part of their own offerings) from one platform.
The Marketplace exposure is PartnerStack’s single strongest differentiator — B2B SaaS companies that list on the marketplace gain access to a pool of active partners actively seeking new software programs to promote, including thousands of content publishers, comparison sites, and technology blogs that specifically cover SaaS tools. This inbound partner discovery is valuable for companies launching affiliate programs from scratch.
Key weaknesses are pricing opacity (requiring demos and negotiations), a percentage-based commission fee that erodes margins as the program scales, and payout delays that partners and affiliates frequently cite in reviews. Some user reviews describe the minimum payout threshold and PayPal fee structure as points of friction for affiliate partners.
