It's good to see so many! More competition = more innovation. You're missing a few:

http://www.focuus.com/ my fav for the name
https://bemob.com/
http://www.newbidder.com/
https://Binom.org/

I'm sure there are others that was off the top of my head.

It's a treacherous business to get into, I know I wouldn't want to do it again. Good luck to all the founders!

Binom FTW
I worked with several other trackers before and more than a year ago I switched from Voluum to Binom.
I absolutely recommend it.
Soon I will also post a longer review about it.
Of course I don´t know all of the other trackers mentioned above but from all the ones I tested Binom is the most complete software and it´s absolutely affiliate friendly, from newbies to seasoned marketers

So true on both comments.

TrackingDesk also comes to my mind.


03-28-2018 06:38 PM #9 mrbraun (Moderator)

To be honest 80% of all trackers are not so good. I don't want to say bad words hahaha

In any case the best now are (as I heard and used):
Voluum
Thrive
Binom
Trackrevenue

@rob_gryn you forgot to mention that the most of them just a bad copy of Voluum

Well.. I don't feel the obvious needs to be stated. The level is copying is sometimes very flattering haha

Over here at Thrivetracker, we were very flattered when we saw that 6 of Voluum's "Top Ten Killer Features" released last year were blatant copies of what we already had built into our platform.

Being copied is most certainly a great compliment to our incredible staff and the development vision we have going forward!

How about adsbridge?

Have you tried them?

Do you know which ones use Digital Element please? Without this IP base, most trackers tools are unusable for me

Voluum does, not sure about the others.

here is one more I know and is missing:

Yes that's it, the other trackers that I used didn't have it and it created a lot of problems for the redirections.


On Facebook Ads, most of the tools considered that visitors came from Ireland/Sweden when they use the mobile facebook browser

FunnelFlux too uses Digital Elements for Carrier / ISP detection.

I'm also on Binom. Absolutely love it, and fantastic to work with groups too.

Agree. It was a very good one, but today I see that developers don't care about the project. No support, no updates. So at the moment I don't recommend Pixelk.

Great, didn't know that. This makes it even a better alternative

It's been long time I used it last time, so I'm not sure.
I liked however some of their neat features that other trackers missed / still missing: like automatic offer searching and adding into tracker), the automatic domain switching and affiliate network detection or conversion "post back scrubbing", haha etc.

Guys,
Sorry to see AdsBridge is missing in your top solutions to replace Voluum, so I am here to fix this issue and remind ya'll Adsbridge is well-known and widely used tracking solution for different affiliates/agencies.

If you don't use a tracker, you use pixels and piwik lets say you can increase load times. Of course, this is where your flow is optimized.

You can scratch Newbidder off the list - they just shut down recently, like I said, it's a treacherous business. You will see many trackers come and go once they realize it's not as lucrative a market as it may seem—not to mention

Digital Element is expensive AF but it's the crème de la crème of IP intelligence. The license costs more than most trackers will make in revenue, we couldn't afford it until around 2 years in, but it's a must. We use them for all Geo Data, down to city level, we plan to implement ZIP code level too. And of course ISP/Carrier data which is absolutely crucial for many users.


05-09-2018 02:56 PM #26 tijn (Moderator)

I love DE and its expensive at low volume - less so on high volume if your customer pricing scales with the volume. Been using it since 2011.

Out of interest - Voluum / FF - You use their classic, edge or pulse datasets?

And besides FF and Thrive - which other trackers support non redirect tracking ?

Binom also offers no redirect tracking.
They have LP pixel https://docs.binom.org/lp-pixel.php
And they also have integrated landers https://docs.binom.org/integrate-lp.php

Just started this sheet that makes it easy to add details in. I supplemented it with some SimWeb data on traffic shares. WIP

Its open to edit - so share or comment. Ill try and keep it updated.

Im considering switching from Voluum to Binom.org or keitarotds.com.
Can anyone share their experience? Would you recommend that?

I don´t know about keitaroads.com but I switched from Voluum to Binom myself more than a year ago because Voluum just got too expensive for running Pops.
Before I switched I tested Adsbridge, PixelK and Funnelflux, before that I used CPV Lab for several years and before that Prosper202.
From all these trackers Binom in my opinion is the best one to work with.
It has a nice and clean interface, great customization features (for URLs as well as for stats) and many other features that make it easy to work with.
Here they have a live demo https://demo.binom.org/ so that you can play around with it.
But the live demo is not the newest version, they just released an update that is in beta where they added several good new features.
When I decided to switch to Binom I first ran some direct A/B tests between Voluum and Binom because I wanted to check the redirects and clickloss, I suspected Binom will have slower redirects and higher clickloss because it´s self hosted.
I tested the campaigns on the same trafficsources with exactly the same settings.
Binom was faster than Voluum for redirects and clickloss was similar on both, with a dedicated server and good DNS setup a self hosted tracker shouldn´t be a problem.
The guys from Binom will also open a thread here soon and I will gladly write a review about my longtime experience with the tracker then.
If you have any more questions about Binom you can ask me or just send a PM.

Having worked with Thrive, Adsbridge, Binom, PixelK & Voluum. All are great trackers! but I have gotton so used to Voluum, that most of my traffic is still tracked by Voluum.

Been testing Binom tracker for past month and I’m impressed. I like the interface, speed and bunch of other features like trend graph or detailed drilldown.

Binom is pretty advanced but designed for pops. if you dont mind studying the documentation a bit you should be fine.

Very good thread, It's a pleasure to read the wonderful comments from founder of trackers

For POPs, self hosted trackers are good alternative, cloud solutions like Voluum are to expensive with large volume of events. Check out funnelflux managed for example, that's a good one as well.

If you're doing low volumes, Voluum is fine. But as you scale, getting a Cloud Hosted one with Click Event charging like Thrive is good. You pay lesser in the long run. Self Hosted is another option but you might have to do a lot of optimization/setup work. Try FF if you are looking for self hosted. This might help you: https://charlesngo.com/affiliate-trackers/ I havent tried them other than Thrive, Vol and FF.


07-23-2018 08:59 AM #42 cgmlab (Member)

Binom looks like the best alternative to Voluum, the possibility to add commentary directly to the campaigns and the group and users functions are just gold!


07-23-2018 09:50 AM #43 funntastic (Member)

I switched to Binom too. I love Voluum but at my stage of experience it's a luxury that I can't afford (I'm also running pop...).
Befor starting I was a little scared about Binom set up and configuration, but it is extremely easy and support is pretty well done.
I setted up one new VPS from Hetzner, load binom (via Linux Conosole - only 2 commands... copy/paste) and setted up a new custom domain.
Ready to track.

It's really good. You've done a greate work. But how to add others trackers? I see it is restricted
