Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Shopify Collabs

  • A 2.9% processing fee is applied to every automatic commission payment and charged to the merchant's Shopify bill
  • Requires a Shopify store, so it is unusable by brands not selling on Shopify
  • Commissions are handled in USD and merchants billed in another currency pay local conversion fees
  • Creators who do not submit a W9 have their annual payouts capped at $599.99 USD
  • Collabs is not accepting new creator signups, so brands can only work with creators already on the platform or invited directly

Skeepers

  • The Internet Archive's capture of Skeepers' homepage on 28 January 2021 carried the vendor's own press release, dated 22 September 2020, stating that Net Reviews changed its name to SKEEPERS while integrating Mediatech-cx and Teester alongside its existing subsidiary Avis Verifies, following a 32 million euro funding round in November 2019 from Providence Strategic Growth.
