Trackdesk Alternative
The band under $329, still served
Trackdesk's cheapest plan is $329/mo. Referly covers the same revenue band from $75.
Referly is a Trackdesk alternative for programs under $30,000/mo. Trackdesk's entry plan is Business at $329/mo with a $30,000/mo program-revenue cap, nothing cheaper exists on their site, and the plan's real limits (5 seats, 10 active offers, 100 tracked coupons) sit in the expandable matrix, not on the plan card. Referly covers the same band at $75 and $149/mo, and imports from Trackdesk directly.
Credit where due
Where Trackdesk is the right answer
We say what they do well before we say what they do not. That is the reason you can believe the rest of the page.
Trackdesk's unlimited claims are, on their own terms, true: affiliate partners, clicks and conversions genuinely aren't metered on any plan. The security posture is real. ISO 27001:2022, compliance documentation written for a buying committee rather than a landing page, and migration assistance is included from the entry plan. Above $30,000/mo in program revenue, with procurement in the room, Trackdesk is a fair fight and sometimes the right answer.
Below that line, there is simply no product: the site's cheapest number is $329/mo.

The other side
Where Trackdesk stops
Three real limitations, each one traceable to a sentence on their own website.
The vacated low end
No plan exists under $329/mo, no starter tier, no free tier, nothing. The under-$30k/mo program Trackdesk's own cap describes is priced as if it were an enterprise.

Cards versus matrix
The plan cards advertise ∞ unlimited clicks, conversions and partners. The expandable matrix underneath holds the working limits: 5 seats, 10 active offers, 100 coupon-tracking codes on Business.
