Track any link.
See which partners pay.

Link tracking is built into TrackRev's affiliate platform: every partner link and every outbound marketing URL runs through a branded short link you own, so you can count clicks, attach UTM parameters, and tie those clicks to the partner or channel that actually pays your MRR. It turns any destination URL into a branded short link on a domain you control (go.brand.com/launch instead of bit.ly/3xZqf2). Each click hits a server-side /r/{slug} redirect that logs the event in your workspace before sending the visitor to the destination — you get the click count, the geo and device, the referrer, and, on any paid plan, the Stripe, Paddle Billing, Polar, Lemon Squeezy, Creem, or Dodo Payments charge that visitor eventually made. The free tier covers 1,000 events per month; every paid plan (from $29/mo) unlocks unlimited events plus the full affiliate program and attribution.

When someone clicks a TrackRev link, the request hits a server-side redirect endpoint at /r/{slug} on your own custom domain. The server writes the click row — slug, timestamp, IP-derived geo, user-agent-derived device, referrer — into your workspace and then issues a 302 to the destination URL, all in under 50ms at the Vercel edge. Because the click is recorded server-side before the browser loads anything, ad-blockers, tracker-blocking extensions, and prefetch-killing browsers never get a chance to suppress it. A first-party cookie called vid is dropped on the apex domain so the same visitor can be tied to a signup, a checkout, or a paid invoice later — without any third-party script on the destination page.

Yes — and most TrackRev customers do. You point a subdomain you own (go.brand.com or link.brand.com is the common pattern) at TrackRev via a single CNAME record, and TrackRev provisions a TLS certificate automatically through the Vercel edge — no certificate juggling, no renewal reminders. Once the domain resolves, every link you create uses it by default. On Growth you can connect up to 10 branded domains across your workspaces if you operate more than one product, and move an existing inventory of links from one domain to another without breaking inbound traffic. Indie includes 1 custom domain and Growth includes up to 10 (from $29/mo); the free tier uses a shared trackrev.io short domain.

No. The browser-side anti-tracking work Apple has shipped — Safari ITP, iOS 17 Link Tracking Protection, iOS 18 query-parameter stripping — all target third-party scripts, third-party cookies, and known tracker parameters in URLs. TrackRev logs the click server-side at the /r/{slug} redirect, before any of that runs in the browser. The first-party vid cookie is dropped on your apex domain, not a third-party tracker domain, so it isn't partitioned or evicted by ITP. And because the destination URL you redirect to can be a clean, UTM-free path on your own site, there's nothing for iOS to strip. The same logic applies to Brave, Firefox Total Cookie Protection, and uBlock Origin — they can't block a request the browser never made.

Bitly Growth is $35/month and gives you branded short links, click analytics, and QR codes — the click count is where the data ends. TrackRev is affiliate software with link tracking built in, starting at $29/month: the same link features (branded domain, click tracking, QR, UTM builder, geo + device per click) plus revenue attribution from your billing processor and a full affiliate program with commission tracking and payout batches. So a SaaS team running Bitly Growth ($35) plus Rewardful Starter ($49) — $84/month to get links and affiliates — replaces both with TrackRev at $29. If all you need is short links with no partners or revenue, Bitly or a dedicated shortener is the simpler fit.

The same way you'd paste a regular URL — TrackRev links are just normal HTTPS short links on your branded domain, so they drop into Mailchimp, Customer.io, Klaviyo, Buffer, Hootsuite, Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, LinkedIn Campaign Manager, and any footer or signature without special handling. For multi-channel campaigns, bulk campaign mode generates one link per channel (Twitter, LinkedIn, Newsletter, Reddit, etc.) from a single destination URL in one click — each pre-stamped with the right utm_source and utm_medium so your attribution report doesn't collapse into 'direct.' Every link has a branded QR code for print, packaging, and event signage, and per-device targeting routes mobile taps to the App Store while desktop clicks land on the web app.

TrackRev needs no SDK on your link side — you generate a link and share it. For revenue attribution, you drop a small first-party pixel on your site (one script tag).

TrackRev filters known bot user-agents and ignores Google's link-prefetch requests so click counts match real traffic.

TrackRev auto-applies per-channel UTM defaults; you can override per-link. Existing UTMs in your destination URL are preserved.

TrackRev's free tier includes 1,000 tracked events per month, 50 links, last-touch attribution, QR codes, and the UTM builder. No credit card to start. Every paid plan (from $29/mo) lifts the link and event caps and unlocks custom domains plus all three attribution models.

Yes — TrackRev keeps slugs, destinations, per-device URLs, and tags editable after publish. Deleted links are soft-deleted, so inbound traffic still resolves and the historical clicks stay attached to the campaign.

For a SaaS that also wants an affiliate program, yes. TrackRev is affiliate software, and its built-in Links & Analytics covers what Bitly does (branded short links, custom domains, click analytics, UTM management, QR codes) from $29/month. For less than Bitly Growth ($35/month), you get first-party server-side tracking that survives Safari ITP and iOS privacy changes, and every click connects to actual revenue so you know which links and partners made money, not just which got clicked. If you only need a link shortener, Bitly is the simpler choice.

Yes. You can use the built-in Links & Analytics purely for your own campaigns from the $29/month Indie plan, as a Bitly or Dub replacement. TrackRev is affiliate software first, so the affiliate program and revenue attribution are included on the same plan if you want them, but not required.

Every click and conversion rolls up into a live dashboard — channel performance, per-visitor journeys, geo and device, and recurring LTV per channel. You can export the raw data from every table as CSV, and a sale.created webhook fires on each new attributed charge so you can stream events into BigQuery, Snowflake, or your warehouse of choice.
