Total cost, not list price
Platform fee, percent of revenue, payout fees and seat limits are recorded separately, so you can compare what a program really costs.
Documented facts, not a quality ranking. Pricing and rights depend on the selected plan.
| Decision criteria | Trackdesk | AffiliateWP |
|---|---|---|
| Consider for | Teams managing higher-volume affiliate programs that need recurring commissions, multiple tracking methods, 5M-click allowances, postbacks and structured partner workflows. | WordPress stores that want to run an affiliate program within their own installation and need WooCommerce product attribution. |
| Paid entry / monthly | $249/month | Not verified |
| Billing detail | Current official pricing page shows Launch at $299/month or $249/month when billed annually, Scale at $599/month or $499/month annually, and Enterprise at $899/month billed annually. The annual-only equivalent is not month-to-month pricing. Confirm the selected term and tax at checkout. | The live pricing page lists introductory first-year ANNUAL licenses: Personal $149.50 (normal $299/year), Plus $199.50 (normal $399/year), Pro $299.50 (normal $599/year). Do not interpret these as monthly rates; promotions and renewal prices differ. |
| Free plan | No | No |
| Free plan detail | No permanent free plan is listed. Trackdesk advertises an assisted 14-day free trial and states that no credit card is required. | No free version and no free trial; vendor lists a 14-day refund guarantee for new purchases. |
| Commissions | Recurring commissions support subscription renewals, repeat purchases and other recurring conversion events. Recurrence can be limited to a chosen number of events or unlimited. The platform also lists CPA, CPL, revenue-share, hybrid and tiered commission models. | Percentage or fixed commissions for eligible WordPress checkouts; recurring, lifetime and tiered/multi-tier commission workflows are Pro-level features. Validate plugin-level support for refunds and renewals. |
| Tracking method | The pricing page lists cookie-based, cookieless and server-to-server tracking, direct linking, postback events, webhooks, coupon tracking and SubID variables. All plans list 5 million clicks/month; revenue caps and internal-user allowances differ by tier. | WordPress referral links, coupon codes, WooCommerce order attribution and site-owned affiliate dashboard; not a direct integration with Paddle Billing subscriptions. |
| Payouts | The pricing page lists automated affiliate payouts through supported payout integrations. Stripe Connect can transfer settled commissions from the merchant’s Stripe balance; PayPal mass payments, Tipalti and Confirmo are also listed. Confirm payout-country eligibility, fees and whether a method covers direct affiliates or Marketplace partners before purchase. | Current AffiliateWP documentation lists Stripe, PayPal, store credit and manual payout methods. The former AffiliateWP Payouts Service was retired on 30 September 2026; the vendor directs merchants to Stripe for bank payouts. Confirm country eligibility, processor fees and account requirements before promising a payout route. |
| Integrations | The current pricing page lists 1,000+ apps and names integrations across payment, ecommerce and marketing workflows. Confirm whether a required connector is native, assisted or requires Zapier/custom setup; do not assume every app is a first-party billing integration. | WordPress and WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads and supported membership/course/form plugins. Other hosted ecommerce platforms require a different tool. |
| API available | Yes | No |
| Consider the limitation | Small SaaS teams seeking low-cost month-to-month pricing; the annual equivalents require an annual commitment and include monthly revenue limits. | Shopify-only merchants and buyers expecting the advanced Pro commission options on the cheapest annual license. |
