Pricing is a flat monthly fee by plan, with no per-affiliate or per-conversion charges.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Trackdesk, taken from its own pages and our grades.

You set up tracking, offers and payout integrations before it is useful.

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 it 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

Good to know

Good for

  • In-house affiliate programs at SaaS and DTC brands
  • Affiliate networks running several advertisers from one login

Worth knowing

  • Marketplace access is available on annual plans only and is not included in Launch.
  • White-label branding, fraud protection and full API access are listed under the all-features item, which Launch does not include.
  • The Enterprise plan has no published monthly price; it is shown as $899 a month billed annually only.

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 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.
