Best for affiliate tracking for in-house programs and networks
Trackdesk tracks clicks, conversions and commissions for in-house programs, affiliate networks and iGaming operators, with no per-affiliate or per-conversion fees. Launch is $249 a month on annual billing, $299 monthly. The marketplace, white-label and full API sit on higher plans, and Enterprise is annual only.
Who Trackdesk is for
- Fits if you run an in-house affiliate program at a SaaS or DTC brand
- Works for a network or iGaming operator that needs several advertisers or brands in one login
Who Trackdesk is not for
- Pricey if you pay monthly: Launch is $299 a month against $249 on annual billing
- Not for you if you want the marketplace of 100,000+ affiliates on Launch, as it starts on Scale at $499
- Skip it if you need white-label, fraud protection or full API, which Launch does not include
- Tight if you plan to stay small: caps are $50,000 of affiliate revenue and 5 users on Launch
- Watch out: Enterprise at $899 is annual billing only
Why Trackdesk gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneyLaunch is $249 a month billed annually ($299 monthly), well above the $125 where the dearer quarter starts; marketplace access is $499.
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan. An assisted 14-day trial is offered and the page does not say whether it needs a card.
- CFeaturesTracking methods, commission models and payouts, but marketplace, white-label, fraud protection and full API sit above Launch.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You set up tracking, offers and payout integrations before it is useful.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with Stripe, Tipalti, Shopify and others listed, MCP access, and an API on the plan with all features.

Keep Trackdesk, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Trackdesk 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.
It costs $2,988 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, Stripe, Tipalti and AppsFlyer among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Trackdesk’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.
