The 4 Main Affiliate Marketing Trackers Review (6)

Something seemed off, since costs never go up exponentially for trackers in their plans (they get cheaper per event), yet the cost graph here is showing exponential growth.

This is perhaps not intentionally misleading but it does create the wrong impression.

You have changed the unit on the X axis from 5M events to 152M towards the end. This manipulates the graph's look. The data is in theory correct but the image it portrays is false and/or misleading. You have to keep your units consistent.

Hey Manu, you are right!

Indeed, the values got messed up, might have been a tech moment with Excel that we haven't noticed. Thank you for your input, it is important for us to provide the right information, and we are not aiming to mislead anyone. You are right that the costs growth decreases with volume, therefore we decreased the X axis values this time, so that the results are more precise. I have changed the graph in the article, now it should be all correct.

Thanks again!

Looking great now, much more information at a glance than before!

This is really a great post, thanks very much for throwing the info out here @Mobidea.

I think it's also worth noting which of these tracking platforms are able to offer users the best ways to get started with the platform. If you're looking for a tracker, you're aiming to get the very best option for the money you're paying out. Ideally, you should have the opportunity to go ahead and make sure you've got the right option in hand and you know how to use it and be successful with it BEFORE you start paying them for their services.

At ThriveTracker, we're offering a 30-day FREE trial of either our self-hosted or cloud-hosted service, allowing for up to 1 million clicks to be tracked within the trial period.
Adsbridge, a cloud-only platform, is offering a 14-day FREE trial, with up to 50k clicks tracked.
FunnelFlux, a self-only platform, is offering a 3-day money-back guarantee (perhaps that's supposed to be 30 days, and it's just a typo? Not sure on that one).
Voluum, a cloud-only platform, no longer offers their trial.

And, just to be clear, we did not start offering a 30-day trial on the cloud side until now (we're actually putting a new pricing page up on our website within the next 48 hours to reflect this change). It's new for ThriveTracker and we're excited about giving affiliates the chance to get better acquainted with the platform before starting their pay cycle.

If anyone's got any questions regarding what else ThriveTracker can bring to the table, I'm happy to discuss our platform at length! Just let me know

seems everyone just sticks to the tracker already been using and not really interested in testing the new ones?

We all split testing landers, offers etc etc on a daily basis, but is anyone split-testing trackers on a regular basis? Could using a different tracker make meaningful & positive impact on your campaign performance? Or is it not worthwhile split-testing different trackers?

just a random question popped into my mind...
