Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 3 of the 89 other affiliate and referral tools we grade
Adtraction is a partner marketing network operating across the UK, the Nordics, Poland, Spain, the Netherlands, the DACH countries, France and Italy. Brands pay a monthly platform fee plus a tracking fee and pay partners only when a sale happens. Plans range from running a program yourself to a dedicated local account manager.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Adtraction, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You set up accounts and programs before it does anything, so there is a learning curve.
- 1
Best for pay-per-sale affiliate partnerships with a small network
Adtraction connects brands with about 8,000 partners on pay-per-sale terms.
- 2
Paid plans start at about $132.65 a month
As its pricing page puts it: £99 per month plus a 3% tracking fee.
- 3
It runs on Web
Web.
- 4
Partner marketplace
Brands discover partners and approve applications in one place; the pricing page cites access to 8,000 selected partners.
- 5
Pay per sale
Partners earn a commission on sales, and brands pay a monthly platform fee plus a tracking fee rather than for clicks.
- 6
Reporting and tracking
Real-time performance reporting covers links and coupon tracking, and an API and integrations are listed in the resources area.
- 7
A 1.6 GPA, above 3 of 89
That is against the other affiliate and referral tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
Keep it
To replace Adtraction you would be making payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for pay-per-sale affiliate partnerships with a small network
Adtraction connects brands with about 8,000 partners on pay-per-sale terms. Plans start at £99 a month plus a 3% tracking fee, add-ons cost extra, and the partner pool is small next to the big networks.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Self-managed is £99 a month plus a 3% tracking fee, between the $69 middle and the $159 dearer quarter for affiliate tools. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan or trial on the listing, so you pay before you can try it. |
| Features | C | A partner marketplace, pay per sale, tracking and reporting. The pool is about 8,000 partners, much smaller than the larger networks. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You set up accounts and programs before it does anything, so there is a learning curve. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with Shopify the one integration named. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Adtraction is for
- Fits if you want pay-per-sale partners in Europe and the UK
- Works for brands that want an account manager at a higher tier
Who it is not for
- Watch out: prices are in pounds and carry a 3% tracking fee
- Pricey if you add extras: Adtraction Plus is £149 a month, and Managed add-ons run £249 and £499
- Skip it if you want the biggest partner pool, as it has about 8,000
- Watch out: guided launch and setup is an extra
Good to know
Good for
- Brands selling in European markets that want a predictable monthly fee
- Small teams that can run a program themselves on the Self-managed plan
- Businesses that want local account managers rather than software alone
Worth knowing

- The partner pool is about 8,000 partners, a smaller figure than the networks that claim hundreds of thousands.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Adtraction you would be making payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 68 of the 89 other affiliate and referral tools grade higher. It costs $1,591.79 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms.
- Every click and sale traced back to the right partner.
- It plugs into other products, Shopify among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Adtraction’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
