Voluum alternatives (by popularity)

Hey All,

I'm looking at Voluum competitors but most articles list all sorts of platforms that don't really compete, what are the most popular (after or before Voluum)?

TIA

Ben.

Hey @benflux!

@zeno will say FunnelFlux
@twinaxe @jaybot @larsometer will say Binom

Not sure what Jeremy or Amy or CMDeal will say.

I also give a +1 to Binom for it's simplicity and customer support. Never used FunnelFlux but from what I know about Zeno it will be awesome and worth the money.

Don't worry, pretty quickly others will jump in and give their 2 cents as well. Oh yeah, I also used CPVLabs for quite some time years ago and you can still get it now but its called CPVLabsPro I think? I would have mentioned Prosper202 for beginners but I don't think that even exists anymore...Lol. I still have old versions of it on my hard drive

Anyway, when looking at tracking mostly you want it to be:

- super fast redirects
- easy to work with and change campaign settings (clone duplicate etc)
- have good device recognition for mobile etc (a pretty big deal nowadays)
- good support

Also some are better than others for deep funnels. That is, funnels that go from LP1 > LP2 > LP3 > Offer etc. Multipath and whatnot.


Any of the ones I mentioned generally fit that bill. I like Binom personally cause it's self hosted as well, and I have full control of it. But people always say good things about Voluum.

Hope any of this was helpful to you. Good luck on finding a tracker that fits your criteria. Don't get hung up on tracking too much, pick one and get building.

Depends on what traffic you're going to run.

Funnelflux is solid. Supports pretty much everything under the sun. I'm a little set in my ways, tho.

For Pops and Push (and all sorts of cool advanced features and triggers): Binom
For Native/Tiktok/FB (and all sorts of good API cost tracking): Redtrack

Voluum is still a solid choice, but it is far too expensive for Pops and anything with high volume as they charge per event. Okay for Push and Native at low volume.

Bemob is a cheaper version of Voluum with less features, but totally useable for low volume stuff.

There two more fantastic options out there like anytrack and... damn I can't remember the name, but I haven't tested them extensively.

@jaybot already summarized most of what I was going to say.

I will add that, apart from the traffic type, it also depends of your funnel type and complexity.

Voluum / Binom are interesting for simple to medium-complexity funnels.
I have not tested FunnelFlux, but the graphic view appears to allow to draw more complex funnels.

Finally, AnyTrack is a good option when you don't have structured funnels. For example when doing SEO and ranking websites.
Here is more info about this one: https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...50075-AnyTrack

Been using BeMob forever since it was a non self hosted tracker that was free it was great when I just begun and then I simply never made the switch to anything else. The free plan only offers 100,000 events per month though so depending what your running you may need a upgraded plan that isn't free

Is anyone here still using Prosper202? Just curious

Anyone using Adsbridge? That was a good one too as far as I remember and it's reasonably priced too.

Voluum alternatives (by popularity)

All very useful points!

As should be evident from the 40-day tutorial, I've used Voluum, binom and funnelflux. I wrote a tracker comparison some time ago - will find it later and post the link.

What I personally like / don't like about each tracker:

Voluum - intuitive and easy-to-use interface, fast redirects - the only major drawback is price (running high volume pop will kill - found that out the hard way in the beginning). Also, I wished it would allow drilling down (in stats) to deeper levels like funnelflux does.

Binom - intuitive and easy-to-use interface (similar to Voluum's which is excellent - no need to reinvent the wheel), pricing is a dream, and support is stellar! Redirects though are slower if you're targeting geos that are further away from the server where binom is installed

Funnelflux - interface can take a while to get used to which is the only thing I don't like. But it's fast (cloud solution), is very versatile if you want to build complex funnels, allows drilling down virtually unlimited levels into stats. Pricing is reasonable - not as scary as Voluum but not as cheap as Binom.

If unsure, I'd suggest to give all 3 a test for a month before deciding. Both binom and funnelflux have free trials, and the discovery plan for Voluum isn't prohibitively expensive. Be sure to look in the "Discounts and Bonuses" subforum for discounts on these trackers!

Prosper202 is semi retired. I support current users, but I disabled new downloads over a year ago.

EDIT: I made the Prosper202 download zip avail again. There's no support, but there are people who still want it.

That was also my first tracker in 2008 or so

I noticed that when I wanted to check Prosper202 few months ago but I think it´s safe to say that Prosper202 had huge impact on tracking.

One of the main drawbacks for people using FunnelFlux is the visual funnel editor, with it being a bit different from what they are used to and better suited to more flexible, complex flows.

But note that we recently released "Simple Flows", which let you create lander/offer sequences in a similar way to other trackers without using a visual builder.



To each their own! I'd say FunnelFlux Pro is the most different to all the mentioned trackers, but also the least mature -- meaning it has had less time to develop as many features, but conversely that probably means its developing and adding newer things at a faster rate than all the other trackers too.

Hi @benflux,


CPV Lab is one of the oldest affiliate tracking platforms on the market. It is a self hosted tracker, so you will need a server to host it. The good part is that you don't have to worry about paying extra for number of events, you can track unlimited campaigns and events.


The system offers a lot of cool functionalities, it allows to track simple flows but also more complex funnels.
But as with any platform, at the beginning you need to get used to the interface


If you are interested to check it out, you can try the Free Trial and see how it works for you. We can help you out with the setup of the tracker and of your first campaign


Cheers,
Julia
