Why choose TrackRev over Refersion?

  • Branded links on your own domain

    TrackRev puts every tracking link on your own domain — better click-through, more trust, no generic redirect URLs. Refersion doesn't offer branded short links.

  • First-party tracking that survives iOS

    Refersion relies on third-party cookies. TrackRev's pixel is first-party — it works after Safari ITP, iOS 17, and ad blockers that kill third-party attribution.

  • Attribution beyond affiliates

    Refersion only sees affiliate traffic. Paid ads, SEO, email, and direct channels are invisible to it. TrackRev attributes revenue from every source in one dashboard.

“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.”

Where Refersion is the better pick

  • Affiliate marketplace for discovery

If your acquisition runs entirely on Shopify affiliates and you want its marketplace for finding partners, Refersion makes sense. If you want to know which channel actually pays your MRR — every channel's revenue, not just the affiliate slice, at less than half the entry price — that's what TrackRev is built for.

TrackRev vs Refersion

Questions, answered.

TrackRev is a Refersion alternative that covers everything Refersion does for affiliate and partner tracking, and tracks every other channel on the same data, so you know which channel actually pays your MRR. It goes further with cross-domain pixel attribution, branded short links, and multi-channel analytics for paid ads, SEO, and email. If you're paying $99/month for Refersion and only using it for affiliates, TrackRev's Starter plan at $39/month handles the same workload and adds the channels Refersion cannot touch.
