The caveats
Orbit. Marmeto publishes a comparison of Orbit against every rival, and it recommends Orbit, as expected. Useful as a list of features, not as a verdict.
PartnerStack. Nothing here knows what a Shopify app is. There is no Partner API connection, no install attribution and no App Store anything. So a Shopify vendor wires it up by hand and pays enterprise prices, while the cheap, native equivalents are two rows up in this category. Pricing is not published at all. It is set per program during a demo, so you cannot compare it with PartnerDock or Shoffi without booking a sales call first. The 30 to 45 day onboarding is their own number, and it tells you what kind of company this is sold to. It is listed because an app vendor selling to agencies and enterprise partners at scale does eventually outgrow a link tracker. This is the platform they end up looking at.
