Why choose TrackRev over FirstPromoter?

  • Attribution built in beyond partners

    FirstPromoter tracks affiliate traffic; paid ads, SEO, email, and direct channels aren't attributed in it. TrackRev's built-in first-party pixel attributes revenue from every source in the same dashboard as your partners.

    Channel analytics

  • Branded links for every partner

    FirstPromoter gives affiliates generic tracking parameters. TrackRev gives each partner a branded short link on your custom domain — better conversion, more trust.

    Custom tracking domains

  • Multiple attribution models

    FirstPromoter doesn't offer attribution model selection. TrackRev gives you first-touch, last-touch, and linear — so you can see which view of the data fits your analysis.
