Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 22 of the 89 other affiliate and referral tools we grade
TradeTracker is an affiliate marketing network that connects advertisers with publishers across many countries through its own tracking software. Advertisers pay commission on results, and publishers get tracking, reporting and payouts through one login. It also offers attribution models beyond last click.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about TradeTracker, taken from its own pages and our grades.
But no fees are published, access is by application and brochure request, and the site splits by country so terms differ by region.

Network of publishers
Advertisers reach affiliates who apply to join, and keep the final say on which affiliates and which transactions they accept.

Real Attribution models
Offers first touchpoint, last touchpoint, time-decay, linear and position-based models plus a custom weighted model, rewarding publishers along the path.
- 5
Pay on results
The advertiser page describes a no-win-no-pay model: commission is set per campaign and paid only when results are achieved.

A 1.8 GPA, above 22 of 89
That is against the other affiliate and referral tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

Keep it
To replace TradeTracker 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 a publisher network for European-style affiliate marketing
TradeTracker is an affiliate network linking advertisers with publishers worldwide, with real-attribution models and pay on results. But no fees are published, access is by application and brochure request, and the site splits by country so terms differ by region.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No advertiser fees are published, only that commission is paid on results, so value sits in the middle by default. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan or trial is mentioned. Access is by application. |
| Features | B | A publisher network, attribution models, publisher tools, video ads and account management cover the core job of a network. |
| Ease of use | C | Joining means an application, a brochure request and account management, not a product you start using. No store rating is on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no integrations listed on the pages read. |
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 TradeTracker is for
- Fits if you are an advertiser who wants access to a ready publisher network
- Works for publishers who want to join programs through one network
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a price list, as network and platform fees are not stated
- Not for you if you want self-serve software, as access is by application
- Watch out: the site is split by country, so programs and terms differ by region
- Too light on detail for tool comparison, with no integrations listed
Good to know
Good for
- Advertisers wanting an existing publisher network in Europe and beyond
- Publishers monetizing content with brand programs
- Merchants who want attribution beyond last click
Worth knowing
- No fees are published for advertisers; access is through an application and a brochure request.
- The advertiser page only says commission is paid on results; network and platform fees are not stated.
- The site is split by country, so programs and terms differ by region.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
TradeTracker's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
No advertiser fees are published, only that commission is paid on results, so value sits in the middle by default.
We could not confirm TradeTracker’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. tradetracker.com has them.

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 TradeTracker 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: 45 of the 89 other affiliate and referral tools grade higher.
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.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. TradeTracker’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.
