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 | Affiliatly |
|---|---|---|
| Consider for | Teams managing higher-volume affiliate programs that need recurring commissions, multiple tracking methods, 5M-click allowances, postbacks and structured partner workflows. | Budget-conscious online stores testing a trackable affiliate program and wanting simple coupon/link attribution. |
| Paid entry / monthly | $249/month | $0/month |
| 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. | Free plan $0 up to 50 tracked orders; Starter $16/month for up to 50 affiliates with unlimited tracked orders; Advanced $24/month for up to 200 affiliates. |
| Free plan | No | Yes |
| 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. | A permanent free tier is publicly listed, with a cap of 50 tracked orders. It should not be interpreted as unlimited affiliate transactions. |
| 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. | Merchants can set percentage or fixed-order commissions with configurable commission rules. The primary use case is ecommerce order attribution, not recurring SaaS billing. |
| 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. | Affiliate links, email, coupon and QR attribution with affiliate dashboards, purchase reports, marketing assets and configurable program settings. |
| 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. | Vendor lists gift cards and store rewards, and PayPal Mass Payout on Advanced. Actual transfer charges and affiliate-region support depend on payout providers. |
| 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. | Official integrations list Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Squarespace, Ecwid and others; custom stores require implementation validation. |
| 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. | Subscription SaaS merchants requiring native recurring billing commission logic or enterprise channel deal registration. |
