Affiliate tracking software helps businesses run their own affiliate programs. It handles link tracking, commission calculations, affiliate management, reporting, and payouts — without going through a third-party network.

Question 17

Should I use an affiliate network or affiliate software?

Accepted Answer

Networks give you instant access to affiliates but take a cut. Software lets you run your own program with more control but requires you to recruit affiliates yourself. Many businesses use both.

Question 18

Can I list my affiliate software on AffiliateRoll?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We have a dedicated Software directory. Submit your software with details about pricing, platforms, integrations, tracking methods, and key features.
