Link shorteners
Great at counting clicks. Blind to what the click earned. TrackRev keeps the branded short link and adds the rest of the funnel.
TrackRev runs your SaaS affiliate program on real link attribution. It ties every Stripe charge back to the click that started it, ranks your channels by revenue and retained MRR, and pays commissions on revenue that actually happened — the job Bitly and Rewardful each do only half of.

Stop reconciling two dashboards. TrackRev owns the link, the pixel, and the revenue sync — so attribution is the default, not a quarterly project.

Each category solves a slice of the problem. TrackRev is the only one that owns the whole loop: link → click → sale → commission.
Great at counting clicks. Blind to what the click earned. TrackRev keeps the branded short link and adds the rest of the funnel.
Teams and custom domains, sure — but the report ends at the click. TrackRev follows it through to the sale.
Built for affiliates only. TrackRev runs your affiliate program AND attributes every other channel — ads, SEO, social — to revenue.
Click-level tracking for paid traffic — but revenue lives in another tab. TrackRev connects each click to the Stripe or Paddle payment behind it, so channels rank by revenue.
Enterprise PRM power at enterprise prices. TrackRev gives growing teams the affiliate program and full-channel attribution without the contract.
Multi-touch attribution built for e-commerce and high-spend ad buyers. TrackRev brings the same first-party attribution to SaaS — Stripe-native, flat-priced, no ad-spend minimum.
What you actually get when one tool owns the link, the conversion, and the commission — instead of three that don't talk to each other.
Paste one pixel, connect Stripe, and revenue starts attributing back to the link, channel, or affiliate that earned it.
First-touch, last-touch, and linear models on every campaign — see which channel actually pays back, not just which one gets the most clicks.
Invite partners, set commissions, run monthly payouts. No second SaaS subscription, no extra pixel, no re-tagging your links.
Cross-domain attribution with no third-party cookies. Works after Safari, iOS 17, and tomorrow's tracking change too.
Teams that replaced their link shortener + affiliate stack with TrackRev — in their own words.
“Half our team conversations used to be arguing about which channel actually drove the sale. We just pull TrackRev up on the call now — the argument is over before it starts.”

“I've shipped two SaaS products and the affiliate + attribution layer was always the part I duct-taped together. TrackRev is the first time I haven't had to reach for the duct tape.”

“Server-side tracking that survives iOS and ad-blockers was non-negotiable. The pixel was live in twenty minutes and the dashboard finally matches what Stripe is telling us.”

“We trialled four attribution tools before this one. TrackRev is the only one where the numbers tied out against Stripe on day one — no manual reconciliation, no spreadsheet of shame.”

“Most attribution tools feel like a spreadsheet wearing a UI. TrackRev is the first one our ops team actually opens on Monday mornings — and the numbers don't need a translator.”

“I run a newsletter recommending automation tools. TrackRev is the first thing that showed me which posts actually convert — not just which ones rack up clicks. Killed two underperformers in week one.”
